Powder tablet press machine awareness

Significantly reduce production costs

Tablet preparation process mainly has a wet granulation tablet, dry granulation tablet, powder direct compression and lyophilization of tablets and other

several methods. Powder direct compression tablet is the powder of the drug and the appropriate auxiliary materials were sieved and mixed, without making particles

(wet or dry particles) and directly pressed into tablets. Because of its simple process, without granulation, drying, energy-saving and time-saving

, to protect the stability of the drug, improve drug dissolution, as well as industrial automation and so on, is more and more by the countries of

pharmaceutical enterprises by the use of. Relevant data show that in foreign countries about 40% of the tablet varieties have been used in the kind of process production.

Greatly improve the disintegration and dissolution

The tablets produced by powder direct compression technology have good disintegration performance and excellent dispersion uniformity, therefore, this technology is more widely used in some immediate-release, fast-disintegrating tablets, the production of domestic orally disintegrating tablets has been gradually used in the powder direct

compression technology.

The disintegration of tablets mainly relies on the disintegrating agent in the tablets to promote the disintegration of the tablets through the capillary effect or swelling effect. Tablets prepared by the powder

direct compression process have a disintegrant which, unlike the disintegrant in wet granulation, does not reduce the disintegration properties due to preliminary exposure to moisture

and thus ensures good disintegration characteristics. In addition, since there is no granule pressing, the tablet will not form large agglomerated particles after disintegration

but will form a fine powder with a relatively large specific surface area, which can be better distributed in the body, improving the dispersion homogeneity of

the tablets, and contributing to the release and absorption of the drug. Studies have shown that this technique ensures that the tablet disintegrates completely in less than

30 seconds, and there are many dispersible tablets prepared using direct powder compression technology.

Strong process adaptability

In actual production, certain chemically unstable drugs will be encountered, such as easily hydrolyzed esters, amides, easily oxygenated

phenol hydroxyl drugs, vitamin C, vitamin E, etc.; in the wet granulation, many of the drugs that are unstable in the presence of heat and light

will be subjected to hydrolysis during the production process, or be destroyed by heat during the drying of the granules. Granule drying process by heat damage, or due to the complexity of the process caused by the drug

see light decomposition and so on. For these problems, a direct tabletting process can be considered to solve them. Because of the powder direct tabletting process

simple, without granulation, drying, and thus can effectively protect the stability of the main drug, to avoid its wet granulation caused by various

unstable factors, so as to ensure the quality of the product.

In actual production, some drugs with low melting point (around or below 60℃), such as α-lipoic acid (melting point

60℃), granulation and drying due to the main drug melted by heat and caused by the particles is difficult to dry, thus affecting the production; the compounding system

Papierpont tablets ephedrine hydrochloride and phenylhydramine hydrochloride granules made of phenylhydramine and ephedrine hydrochloride. Phenylephrine and ephedrine hydrochloride in Paxil tablets are not

easy to dry due to the low **** melting phenomenon in drying. Such problems can be solved by using the powder direct tabletting technique.

Additionally, some drugs that are more viscous in water, not easy to granulate or have strong moisture attraction and should not be exposed in the air for a long time

such as most of the Chinese medicine extracts, can be directly pressed into tablets using the powder technology, so as to avoid the unfavorable factors of strong viscosity and strong moisture attraction

and thus obtain the qualified tablets.

"Combined processing" to improve the nature of excipients

Direct compression of tablets is different from wet granulation of tablets, a big difference is that the material used for tableting is a fine powder,

the material can be pressed and the fluidity of the good and bad, will determine the quality of the final product. Since the fluidity and compressibility of several drug powders

can not meet the requirements of direct compression tableting, the use of excipients with superior performance to increase the fluidity of the drug is one of the most

direct and effective methods. The correct selection of excipients in direct compression tableting is more stringent than in wet granulation. There are no conventional excipients that combine the good flowability and excellent compressibility, adhesion, high degree of adherence, and low sensitivity to lubricants required for direct compression tableting.

Conventional starch, dextrins, and dextrins can be used to increase the flowability of the drug. Conventional starches, dextrins, and powdered sugars have relatively poor flowability and compressibility

. Therefore, the development of excipients suitable for powder direct compression technology is a new topic.

The tabletting equipment needs to be further improved

Enterprises improve the pre-pressing

mechanism by improving the powder feeding device, dust removal device, which helps to ensure the smoothness of the whole direct tabletting process.

The fluidity of fine powder is not as good as that of granules, and it is easy to have voids in the powder feeder or to flow fast and slow, resulting in tablet weight

differences, whereas the use of oscillating powder feeder or mandatory powder feeder can make the powder flow into the die holes uniformly; as there is more air in the powder

than in the granules, the tablets are easy to produce top cracking during tabletting and reduce the speed of the tablets, or after the second compression, that is, the first is the initial

compression, which is the first time for the initial compression, the second time for the initial compression. The first time for the preliminary

compression, the second for the final compression of tablets can solve this problem, and because of the increase in compression time, and thus conducive to the discharge of air in the powder

end, reduce the phenomenon of cracking, increase the hardness of tablets; In addition, because of the powder has a flying nature, in the powder direct compression

tablet, will produce more dust, sometimes leakage of powder phenomenon, so the Tablet press should have automatic airtight charging device, better

dust removing device and tight joint between powder scraper and rotary table.
