Pharmaceutical Mini Tablet Press Machine
A mini tablet press is commonly used across the pharmaceutical sector to compress and shape powders into tablets of diverse shapes and sizes found in research and development laboratories, pilot plants, and small-scale production units.
Typically, a mini tablet press consists of a hopper. Its primary role is to compress the powder. Then, there is a feeder to control the quantity of powder, a turret with multiple punches, and dies, and a compression mechanism to press the powder into tablets. The compression force is adjustable to produce tablets of -varying hardness.
Mini tablet press machinery can be either manual or automatic. The automated version offers higher production rates and more consistent tablet quality. They can also be equipped with additional features such as tablet thickness and weight control, dust extraction systems, and tablet ejection systems.
