Equipment and Tablet Tooling

• Equipment and Tablet Tooling play a vital role in tablet manufacturing by ensuring precision, uniformity, and efficiency.
•  They help shape, compress, and polish tablets, minimizing defects and enhancing productivity.

1. Tablet Press (Compression Machine):

   • Single-Punch Press: For small-scale or R&D.
   • Rotary Press: For large-scale production with multiple stations.

2. Main Components Equipment and Tablet Tooling:

   • Hopper, feed frame, dies, punches, and compression rollers.

3. Tablet Tooling:

   • Punches and Dies: Define tablet shape, size, and imprint.
   • Materials: Made from high-quality steel.
   • Standards: Follow IPT (International Punch and Die Standards).
   • Maintenance: Regular checks for wear or damage.

4. Additional Equipment:

   • Granulators: For granulation (e.g., high-shear, fluid bed).
   • Mills/Sieves: For size reduction and sizing.
   • Blenders: For uniform mixing (e.g., V-blenders).
   • Coaters: For tablet coating (e.g., pan coaters, fluid bed coaters).
