what is tablet press
 

Tablet press machine is an indispensable equipment in the pharmaceutical industry, mainly used to press medicinal powder or other granular materials into unified specifications of tablets. It is widely used in tablet production process research and batch production in the pharmaceutical industry. These tablets can be circular, irregular, and can have text, symbols, or graphics, with a diameter typically not exceeding 13 millimeters. The design of the tablet press machine aims to achieve automated and continuous production of this process, improving production efficiency and product quality. Tablet press machine can be divided into various types based on their structure and working principle, mainly including single punch tablet press machine, flower basket tablet press machine, rotary tablet press machine, high-speed tablet press machine, etc. According to different needs and application scenarios, suitable tablet press machine can be selected for production.
With the development of market demand, the application range of tablet press machine is becoming wider and wider. They are no longer limited to pressing medicine tablets, but can also press health food, veterinary medicine tablets, chemical tablets, etc. Therefore, tablet press machine is widely used in pharmaceuticals, health products, food, and other fields.

 

 

Tablet Press Advantages

 

 

As an important equipment in the pharmaceutical and other industries, tablet press machine have various advantages, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Efficient and automated production

Especially the rotary tablet press machine, due to its high-speed and continuous working characteristics, greatly improves production efficiency, reduces manual intervention, and lowers labor costs.

 

Accuracy and consistency

The stability and quality of tablets are crucial for the efficacy of patients. Modern tablet press machine can accurately control tablet weight, thickness, and hardness, ensuring that the quality of each tablet is uniform and meets high standards of efficacy requirements and GMP specifications. In addition, the tablet press machine can also perform surface treatment on tablets, enhancing the stability of medicine, improving their shelf life, and avoiding the problem of medicine failure due to long-term storage.

 

Closed structure and hygiene standards

Most tablet press machine adopt a fully enclosed design, with the studio isolated from the outside, effectively preventing cross contamination and maintaining a clean production environment. The stainless steel core dropping and tablet pressing chamber is easy to clean and disinfect, and meets strict hygiene standards.

 

Wear resistant and durable materials

Parts such as turntables that come into direct contact with pharmaceutical powder are made of special surface treated stainless steel materials, which are not only corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant, but also can suppress the precipitation of insoluble particles, extend the service life of equipment, and ensure the quality of medicine.

 

Multi functional adaptability

In addition to traditional pharmaceutical tablets, tablet press machine can also be used to compress various types of products such as health foods, veterinary drugs, chemical tablets, and even special formulations such as sustained-release tablets and dispersible tablets.

 

Easy to operate and safe

Electric tablet press machine generally have the characteristics of simple operation and easy adjustment. Many models are also equipped with intelligent control systems, which can achieve functions such as parameter setting, fault alarm, and data recording, enhancing the safety and convenience of operation.

 

Energy conservation and environmental protection

Modern tablet press machine designs focus on energy efficiency ratio, with low vibration, low noise, and low energy consumption, which is beneficial for reducing production costs and environmental protection.

 

Customized services

According to the needs of different users, the tablet press machine can also provide customized molds to meet the production of special shapes, sizes or pressing requirements, increasing the flexibility and diversity of production.

 

Saving production costs

The tablet press machine can compress medicine powder into regular pills, avoiding waste caused by powder scattering. In addition, the tablet press machine can also control the dosage of drugs by adjusting the thickness and diameter of the tablets, thereby achieving cost savings in production. Therefore, using a tablet press machine to produce medicine can effectively reduce production costs and improve economic benefits.

 

 

In summary, tablet press machine, with their advantages of high efficiency, precision, hygiene, durability, and strong adaptability, not only ensure medicine quality but also promote the improvement of productivity in the pharmaceutical industry and other related fields. To help enterprises achieve sustainable development and sustained profitability.

What Are The Different Types Of Tablet Press Machines

 

Tablet press machine can be classified into various types based on their structure, function, and application fields. The following are some main classifications

Manual Single Punch Tablet Press Machine

Single punch tablet press machine

This is the most basic type of tablet press, which uses a cam linkage mechanism to drive up and down punches to generate relative motion to press tablets. Although it is called a single punch, in reality, multiple sets of dies can work, but working multiple sets of dies simultaneously may affect the stability of the mechanism.

High Speed Tablet Press Machine

Fully automatic high-speed tablet press machine

Specially designed for large-scale production, it has the characteristics of high automation, precise control of tablet quality and production efficiency. It can automatically complete processes such as filling, pressing, and dispensing, and has the function of online detection and removal of non-conforming products.

Automatic Rotary Tablet Press

Rotary tablet press machine

Specially used to press tablets containing core materials, such as drug chips, double-layer tablets, etc., suitable for complex formulations that require liquid, powder, or other components to be contained inside the tablets.

FAQ

Q: why the equipment cannot be turned on?

A: First, check all protective devices, including lubrication protection, pressure overload protection, door and window safety protection, main motor overload protection, and feeding motor overload protection. After troubleshooting one by one, if the machine still cannot be turned on, professional electrical personnel should be contacted to check the circuit.

Q: What to do if there is a problem with the guide rail?

A: Guide rail wear: Check whether the guide rail is worn due to long-term use, and replace worn parts if necessary.
Loose components: Tighten the loose components to ensure that all components are secure.
Wear of the lower guide rail bridge plate: Replace the worn bridge plate to avoid further damage to the plunger.

Q: What issues should be noted for motors and transmissions?

A: Motor overload: Reduce the load or stop the machine for inspection, and if necessary, have an electrician repair it.
Large transmission clearance: Adjust the clearance of the transmission part and tighten loose components.
Resonance between motor and mechanical transmission: Avoid using the resonance section speed, adjust the motor position or modify the transmission system.

Q: What should be done when there are cracks/weight differences/adhesive impact in tablet quality?

A: Cracks: Adjust pressure and speed, improve die matching, adjust air conditioning system to maintain appropriate temperature and humidity.
Weight difference: Check if the punch and die hole are consistent, adjust the filling amount and pressure.
Adhesive punching: improve material fluidity by using appropriate lubricants.
