Tablet Press Step by Step

The tablet press is a small, basket type continuous automatic tablet press. It is one of the necessary equipments to deal with granular raw materials to be pressed into tablets in pharmaceutical, chemical, food, electronic and other industrial sectors. It is suitable for small batch production, laboratories, hospitals and other departments to press tablets, touch coal, sugar tablets, calcium tablets, coffee tablets, powder metallurgy, electronic raw materials and various agricultural fertilizer tablets. It can press all kinds of shaped and ring-shaped tablets, and can press tablets engraved with trademark, text and simple graphics. Raw material treatment: choose good raw materials according to the requirements of the formula, and carry out clean, sterilize, concoct and dry treatment. After drying treatment for crushing, crushing fineness can be 100 mesh sieve for screening.

Two, granulation of most tablets need to be made into particles in order to be pressed, which is determined by the physical properties of raw materials. Different raw materials have different granulation methods, mainly divided into the whole powder granulation method, fine powder and thick extract mixed granulation method, the whole extract granulation method and purified material granulation method. Among them, the whole extract granulation method is more commonly used. Made of granules is mainly to increase its fluidity and compressibility. Increase the fluidity of the material, reduce the fine powder adsorption and the storage of air to reduce the loosening of tablets, avoid powder stratification and fine powder flying.

Three, the output of single punch tablet press is generally 50 tablets/min, generally used for the trial production of new products or small amount of production; tablet pressing is pressurized from one side (pressurized by the upper punch), so the pressure distribution is not uniform, easy to loosen the tablets, and the noise is bigger. Rotary tablet press, with higher production capacity, is a widely used tablet press in the current production.
