Working Principles of Tablet Press Machine

Machines are one of the most benefit able investments for any industry/factory in the 21st century. Pharmaceutical companies invest in machines in order to make their production top-notch. One of the finest machines used in any pharmaceutical industries is a tablet press machine.

A tablet press machine is used to insert powder into tablets of a particular amount of weight and size. This tablet machine can also be utilized to produce different types of tablets, including cleaning products, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, industrial pellets and cosmetics.

There are different working principles that are applied to different types of tablet press machines. With the following context below different principles of these tablet pressers are mentioned

1. Working principles of Tablet press
2. Different principles that can be applied on Rotary tablet press.
3. Mini tablet press principles.

Working principles of Tablet press

Every machine works on certain principles and machines such as tablet pressers hold a few principles of its own, here are the principles that tablet pressing machine work on.

1. In a tablet presser, the length of work is inspected in detail in order to process tooling and checking of new tablets when they have arrived.
2. There is an inspection point in the process tool inspection because it helps in preventing the mishaps that happened during the process of the machine.
3. One of the principal mechanisms of the machine is the J-hook. This J-hook is a part of the tablet pressers which is required to punch the substance into the matter of the tablet.
4. In this tablet pressing machine, punch retainers play an important role in the process of tablet quality checking. The main objective is to check the tips for excessive wear in the machine.
5. The final principle is the cams these cams are used to remove the errors in the process. These cams are also used to fill the proper depth of the tablets.

Different principles that can be applied on Rotary tablet press

In these rotary tablet pressers principles are clearly divided into two types

1. Single-sided rotary tablet press machines.
2. Double-sided rotary tablet pressers.

Both of these tablet pressers have their own proven principles which are mentioned below.

• Single-sided rotary tablet press machines

The single-sided rotary pressers are designed to punch in the fill-up material into the body of the tablet with a major inspection along with the punching material process. After the substance are punched in the lower bottom, this powder will reach into the hopper by filling the die cavity.

In this single-sided pressers, upper cam forces the machine to press the substance after the die cavity is filled in the body of the tablet. After all the process has been executed the waste material excreted out of the tablet.


• Double-sided rotary tablet pressers

The double-sided rotary tablet pressers are different from the single-sided rotary presser these machines are used for producing tablets in a large quantity. In the double-sided tablet pressing machine when the filling stage is in process, the lower pressure is used to ensure that the die cavity is fully filled. After the punching stage is over the Recompression stage starts. In this process, the material is given basic oppression which helps in getting rid of excess air.The double-sided rotary tablet pressers are different from the single-sided rotary presser these machines are used for producing tablets in a large quantity.

Mini tablet press principles

Mini Press is a rotary tablet press machine with strong build quality according to the GMP (Good manufacturing practices). These mini-tablet pressers are ideal for small scale productions. One of the important features of mini tablet press machines is to avoid wastage of substances when higher-value ingredients are involved in tablet formulation.

The number of Stations in this machine is 10 8 10 with Output processing ratio of 6,000 To 18,000 And 4,800 To 14,000 tablets/hr.

All above are various points that cover different working principles of rotary tablet press machine and other different types of tablet pressers.

Tablet pressing machines are used to fill the powder in the tablets with the different process & mechanism performed by the machines. The processes such as powder filling, inspecting the machine procedure and cleansing the unwanted granules.
