Tablet Press is a device that compresses powder into tablets of uniform size and weight. Tablets could be for a wide assortment of industries like pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cleaning substances, industrial pellets, or cosmetic uses.
It uses the principle of hydraulic pressure constantly transmitted through a static fluid. This force of compression binds the granulated material into a hard tablet. The basic steps involve filling, metering, compression, and ejection. Filling involves the transfer of raw materials for compression. Metering ensures that the exact volume is compressed into tablets and removal of any excess granulation. Compression is the step where upper and lower punches come together and the pressure within the die compresses the tablets. Ejection of tablets from the lower punch happens right into the collection container.
The types of tablet press- Broadly, the tablet press can be of two types-
Single Punch- This is driven by a motor or hand that has one punch and die set to compress and mould it into tablet form. If the batch of pills to be developed is small, this is ideal for use. It can be operated without any advanced training.
Rotary tablet press -These high-speed tablet rotary presses are in the form of a rotating turret that holds punches. As it rotates, the punch and the die in it work together to fuse the granulated material into a tablet. If an advanced output of tablets is required with high-speed machinery, the rotary tablet press is recommended.
a. These provide a streamlined and efficient process and meets all product specifications.
b. It markedly reduces any waste in the formulation and effective cost utilization.
c. It helps in achieving a higher production rate.
d .It provides independent control of the hardness and weight of tablets.
The Single rotary tablet press has one set of discharging chute and feeding systems, while the Double-sided rotary system has two sets of the same. The cost and yield consideration needs to be taken into account while choosing this kind of machine. The Double-sided rotary tablet press ensures reducing the possibility of defective pills and also makes compact pills in greater output ratio.
There are various types of tablet presses, each unique in its capacity. The Laboratory Tablet Press is designed to press round and irregular tablets out of granular materials. They are ideal for small batch productions and simple yet precise processing. The Mini tablet press comes with the convenience of shifting and adaptability. They are good at handling a wide range of formulations. In the category of the single-sided rotary press, these small tablet presses and compact tablet presses ensure precision and ease of operation. For large-scale production needs, one can choose the high-speed double rotary press.
The R&D tablet presses provide a compact solution with the independent setting of force and position control. The fill heights, compression thickness, and longer dwell times allowing developers to achieve ideal formulation recipes for tablets. The rotary presses are designed, engineered, and manufactured by top-notch companies. Their affordable and user-friendly line of R&D tablet presses use decades of experience and expertise in tablet tooling mechanisms. The versatile and simulated tablet presses have tremendous capacity and provide comprehensive solutions to manufacturing industries. These have groundbreaking improvements in the tableting process. These perfectly serve the needs of scale-up, small-batch, and clinical trials.
a. The type of production needs, the press type, and subsequently the number of stations required.
b. Any type of additional safety feature is included.
c. The quality compliance certificate.
d. Easy product changeover in manufacturing lines.
e. The capacity of the advanced overload compressor.
f. Easy to maintain and clean the tablet press.
