Heat sensitive products like Ibuprofen powder are difficult to compact and tend to stick to punch surfaces during tableting process. Furthermore, they can have a poor flowability and often cannot be fed into die. As a result, there are high variants in tablet weight due to the inhomogeneous die filling.
Powder is temperature sensitive and starts sticking after 35°C
Sticking issues (film) on die table
Sticking issues on the punch surface
Powder is sticky from the start
Powder does not flow well
Powder cannot be fed into die as it does not flow
High variations in tablet weight due to inhomogeneous filling
Better product flow into feeding tube
No product jam in the feeding tube
Increased turret rotation speed
Tablet press, die table and punch tips do not exceed 30°C during the process
No sticking issues on die table or punch tips
Homogeneous filling of the die
