All tablet press employs the same basic principle of compression. The ba ... Read More

Tablets are solid dosage forms usually containing active pharmaceutical ingredient and excipients in powder, crystalline or granular form with or without diluents which is prepared either by moulding or compression process. They are solid, biconvex or flat in shape and vary in size, shape and weight which is depends on the medicaments which are used for preparation. They are also varying in hardness, disintegration; dissolution characteristics and thickness depend on their intended use and method of manufacture. Tablets are the most widely used solid dosage forms because of ... Read More

(1) when the machine works normally for a long time, the parts that are in direct contact with the drug should be cleaned regularly. When the drug batch is changed or the time of withdrawal is long, the parts should be cleaned regularly. (2) the transmission mechanism under the working table of the machine should often add appropriate amount of lubricating oil (grease), in order to reduce the wear of moving parts. (3) the filling machine runs 250-300h to replace the lubricating oil in the main drive drop box. Check the reducer of powder feeding mechanism and replenish lubri ... Read More

Tablet presses require regular inspection and maintenance to prevent premature wear and tableting problems. Preventive maintenance (PM) is something that pharmaceutical manufacturers should employ on a regular basis, though it remains somewhat alarming to see how many wait until they experience an “uh-oh” moment before acting. Tablet-press manufacturers can offer varying guideposts for the timing of such PM intervals, but there are some easy signals to remain cognizant of that should prompt proactive behavior. A few of these include odd noises, erratic tablet weights, and p ... Read More
