In tableting, additionally to the classic shapes such as round and oblong, there are more and more different, unusual tablet shapes and sizes. For example, in veterinary medicine or in the confectionery sector, applications in form of large tablets are required more and more frequently. Due to the unusual sizes of these tablets, tablet manufacturers encounter challenges such as uneven filling of the dies or different tablet hardnesses due to the high filling volumes and longer filling times of the dies.
Capping or lamination of tablets during the process or during ejection of the tablets
High sticking tendency due to large punch head surface
Low hardness of tablets
High fragility of tablets
Uneven filling of the die
Long filling time of dies
High start-up losses
Fill shoe with large dosing and re-dosing chambers
Special paddle wheels for optimized filling of the dies
Separately adjustable speed of paddle wheel
Dedicated tooling for difficult compressible products
Three press stations for effective compression force distribution
Special tablet chute for damage-free tablet ejection
No capping or lamination issues
Optimal hardness of tablets -> due to compression force up to 110 kN
No breakage of tablets
Even filling of the die
Increased product quality
Reduced start-up losses
