Exhibition:POWTEX 2026
Dates: November 25 (Wed.) – 27 (Fri.), 2026
Venue: Tokyo Big Sight
Booth: East Hall 1, 1-E02

Tipton will showcase its latest coating equipment and Taylor Couette flow continuous crystallization and reaction system at POWTEX 2026.
● ECX Ps – Granulation, Coating, Spheronization & Mixing System
The ECX Ps is a multifunctional system that performs granulation, coating, spheronization, and mixing in a single machine.
By reducing processing time by half compared to conventional systems and enabling easy automation, it helps improve productivity across a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, health foods, chemicals, and cosmetics.
The newly developed ECX-4Ps is an all-in-one system featuring a small-capacity, enclosed design. It supports diverse research needs and provides a smart, efficient research environment.
● TVF® – Taylor Couette Flow Continuous Crystallization & Reaction System
The TVF® system contributes to innovation in active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing through continuous flow synthesis and continuous crystallization.
The uniform shear forces generated by Taylor–Couette flow enable a narrow particle size distribution and precise particle size control.
With models ranging from laboratory-scale systems (approx. 1 L/h) to production-scale systems (approx. 300 L/h), TVF® helps address challenges in continuous pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing, consistent product quality, and fine particle production.

Visit our booth to explore Tipton’s latest technologies and discover how our solutions can support your manufacturing and research needs.
We look forward to welcoming you at Booth 1-E02 in East Hall 1 at POWTEX 2026.

Conference: AAPS PharmSci 360 2026
Exhibition Dates: October 26–28, 2026
Venue: Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
Booth: 819

Tipton is exhibiting its Taylor Vortex Flow continuous crystallization and reaction system, TVF, at AAPS PharmSci 360 2026 in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.
TVF is a continuous processing system that uses uniform mixing and shear generated by Taylor vortices between concentric cylinders. The technology supports particle-size control and efficient continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing. At Booth 819, we are presenting case studies of continuous crystallization of small-molecule pharmaceuticals and the production of amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs).
Dr. Dave A. Miller, a collaborator on this project, will also present research findings on continuous ASD manufacturing using TVF during the poster session.
In this study, a TVF reactor successfully produced substantially amorphous solid dispersions of a poorly water-soluble drug through continuous co-precipitation. Compared with published data for a conventional batch-based process, the TVF samples had smaller median and coarse-fraction particle sizes. The results also demonstrated that adjusting rotational speed and flow rate can tune particle-size distributions and microstructure, highlighting TVF’s potential for continuous ASD manufacturing.

Exhibition: JIMTOF 2026
Dates: October 26 (Mon.) – 31 (Sat.), 2026
Venue: Tokyo Big Sight
Booth: W4040

Tipton will showcase its latest mass finishing machines and technologies at JIMTOF 2026.

Our exhibits will include the HS8V-10G compact centrifugal barrel finishing machine, designed with a focus on simplicity, safety, and durability.

We will also showcase the Mighty・Mild high-pressure mass finishing machine, which utilizes Tipton’s unique low-speed, high-pressure flow technology to deliver powerful finishing performance while minimizing chipping and impact marks on workpieces.

Other exhibits include the CWS double-layer, multi-stage vibratory finishing machine, designed to enable innovative continuous production, and the DF100 Drag Finishing Machine, ideal for precision finishing applications such as cutting tools and artificial bone components.

In addition, we will introduce Barrel Scope, Tipton’s mass finishing simulation software. Based on the concept of “Making Mass Finishing Clear, Not Fuzzy,” BarrelScope visualizes and quantifies key finishing parameters, including material removal and workpiece damage, helping users determine efficient and effective processing conditions.

Visit our booth to experience Tipton’s latest mass finishing solutions firsthand and discover how our technologies can help improve process efficiency, finishing quality, and automation.

We look forward to welcoming you at Booth W4040 at JIMTOF 2026.

Exhibition Dates: October 20 (Tue) – October 23 (Fri), 2025

Venue: Jakarta International Expo (JIExpo), inside the FOOMA Pavilion

Booth No.: DF007

For more details: ALL PACK INDONESIA 2026

At this exhibition, we will showcase our multi-spin type coating machine “ECX” at the FOOMA Pavilion. The ECX is designed to shorten processing time, reduce material loss, and save labor. Thanks to its distinctive multi-spin structure, which generates vortex flows during processing, it enables fast and uniform coating.

Our coating solutions are widely used by many customers, particularly major confectionery manufacturers both in Japan and overseas, for products such as chocolate, coated nuts, and gummies.

We look forward to welcoming you at our booth.

The results of our joint research on TVF with Kobe University were presented at the 18th European Conference on Mixing (MIXING18), an international conference held in Ireland from August 31 to September 2, 2026.

MIXING18 is one of Europe’s leading international conferences on mixing technology, bringing together researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to discuss the latest developments in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, biotechnology, and energy sectors.

As part of its collaborative research with Tipton, Kobe University presented the following study:

“Slug-Induced Stabilization of Taylor Couette Flow in a Continuous Taylor–couette Reactor”

This study demonstrated that introducing gas–liquid slug flow into Tipton’s TVF Taylor Couette Flow continuous crystallization and reaction system can stabilize Taylor Couette Flow while maintaining strong mixing and suppressing axial dispersion.

Furthermore, Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) analysis was used to visualize the vortex structures within the slugs, providing insight into the mechanisms responsible for enhanced mixing.

These findings can contribute to the design of continuous Taylor–Couette reactors that combine high mixing performance with stable plug-flow characteristics. The technology is expected to support the advancement of continuous manufacturing processes, particularly in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, where precise mixing and stable continuous processing are increasingly important.

Tipton will continue its collaborative research with Kobe University to further advance TVF technology and expand its industrial applications in continuous crystallization, reaction, and manufacturing processes.
