Innovation in Tableting: Kilian's Tablet Presses

What is the principle of a rotary tablet press?

A rotary tablet press works on the principle of compaction of powder mixtures. The machine begins by precisely metering and feeding the pharmaceutical powder mixture into a hopper. The powder then moves into cavities on a rotating turret called the die table. Upper and lower punches compress the powder at high pressure within the die cavity to form the tablet. The punches create the desired shape and size of the tablet. After compression, the lower punch pushes the newly formed tablet out of the die cavity. The tablet is then scraped by a tablet scraper to remove any excess material and then ejected from the press.

What is the cost for a single punch tablet press machine?

The pricing for single punch tablet press machines can fluctuate based on specific configurations and functionalities. Their cost-effectiveness makes them suitable for smaller-scale operations or laboratory environments, providing precise tablet compression through manual control for pharmaceutical manufacturing needs.

How does a tableting machine work?

A tableting machine operates by compressing granulated material into tablets. It consists of a hopper to feed the granules, a turret with punches and dies, and a compression mechanism. Granules are fed into the dies, and as the turret rotates, punches compress the material, forming tablets with precise weight and dimensions, crucial for pharmaceutical manufacturing.

What is the purpose of a tablet compression machine?

A tablet compression machine serves the vital purpose of transforming granulated materials into compressed tablets. It achieves this by exerting controlled pressure onto the granules within the die cavity. This process ensures uniformity in tablet weight, thickness, and hardness, maintaining pharmaceutical product quality and facilitating efficient mass production in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.

Which machine is used in formulation of tablet?

Single punch tablet press machines are often used in the formulation of tablets. With these machines, only very small amounts of powder are needed to determine the optimal formulation of a tablet. The single punch tablet press machine presses the granules into precise tablets by applying controlled pressure in the die cavity. This process ensures the uniformity of weight, thickness and hardness of the tablets, which are crucial for the quality of pharmaceutical products and efficient manufacturing processes.
