A tablet press machine compresses powder or fine granules into tablets with uniform shape and size. These machines are mainly used in the pharmaceutical industry for manufacturing tablets. However, some products from the chemical and food industries are also sold in the form of pressed tablets, such as certain cleaning agents, fertilizers, or sweeteners. The basic operation of a tablet press machine involves filling cavities in the shape of the tablet, called dies, with the raw material. Below and above each die is a punch. Once a die is filled, the punches move towards each other and compress the powder or granules into a tablet under pressure. The upward movement of the lower punch ejects the tablet, which is then discharged from the tablet press machine.
These machines generally come in two variants: eccentric tablet press machines and rotary tablet press machines, also known as round-table presses. Eccentric tablet press machines can produce only one tablet per operation cycle. They are therefore used less frequently in the industry, primarily for larger tablets. This design is called an eccentric press because the rotational movement of an eccentric wheel is converted into the vertical movement of the punch. Rotary press machines are more commonly used because they can produce many tablets simultaneously. They feature a round, rotating die table that contains one or more concentric rings of dies. The number of these rings determines how many pairs of punches can work simultaneously. Cam tracks control the filling of the dies, the pressing, and the ejection. The ejected tablets are removed from the tablet press machine via a special mechanism.
When purchasing a used tablet press machine from Foeth, performance is a crucial factor, meaning how many tablets can be produced per unit of time. This depends on the number of dies or stations and the size of the machine. The rotation speed of the die table also plays a role. Some machines can also produce double-layer tablets. Often, the die table is interchangeable, allowing the production of tablets in different sizes and shapes, such as round, oval, or square. Pay attention to the pressure at which the tablets can be pressed, as different raw materials have different requirements in this regard. The pressing pressure is often adjustable, as is the working speed of the tablet press machine.
