What Are Tablet Presses?
First and foremost, what are tablet presses? To start, tablet presses are also referred to as tableting machines, pharmaceutical tablet presses, tablet compressing machines, and tablet punching machines. In general, this is a machine that compresses powders into tablets of uniform size, shape, and weight. All containing the exact same quantity. It is more prominently used within the pharmaceutical industry to manufacture many different types of tablets, but it can also be used for cleaning products and cosmetics.
These machines use basic principle of compression to create the tablet. The basic unit of any tablet press is tooling that consists of two punches and a die called station. How it works is that the upper and lower punches come together in the die that contains the tablet formulation. It is crucial for each tablet to have the exact same measurements. As with any medicine, the dosing needs to be precise. So having a machine that is exacting is necessary.
