What is multi punch tablet machine?
A multi-station tablet press is a pharmaceutical industry device designed to perform multiple tabletting operations within a single pressing cycle, resulting in the formation of multi-layered solid tablets or pills. In comparison to a single-station tablet press, the multi-station tablet press offers higher production efficiency and greater flexibility in tablet manufacturing.
The advantage of a multi-station tablet press lies in its multi-workstation structure, allowing for multiple tabletting actions in a single rotation and significantly enhancing production efficiency. This design is particularly suitable for the production of multi-layered or controlled-release pharmaceutical formulations.
Features and Working Principles
Multi-layer tabletting
The distinctive characteristic of a multi-station tablet press is its ability to conduct multiple tabletting operations in a single pressing cycle, creating tablets with multiple layers. This is particularly valuable for the production of complex or controlled-release pharmaceutical formulations.
Feeding and filling
Medicinal ingredients, in the form of powder or granules, are introduced into the feeding system of the multi-station tablet press and then filled into the molds.
Multiple tabletting cycles
After filling, the multi-station tablet press can conduct multiple tabletting cycles within a single workstation, resulting in the formation of tablets with different layers.
Ejection
The formed multi-layer tablets are ejected from the molds, ready for the next tablet production cycle.

What are the punches for tablet press?
The flat punch is the simplest and most common type, used for manufacturing flat or convex tablets.
The design of the radius punch creates tablets with rounded edges, helping to reduce edge wear.
Convex punches can be used to manufacture convex tablets, often employed for marking or giving tablets a specific shape.
Concave punches are used to manufacture concave tablets, suitable for preparing tablets with special markings or score lines.
Designed for multi-station tablet presses, multi-layer punches allow for multiple tabletting actions in one workstation, forming multi-layered tablets.
Custom punches can be designed for specific needs, allowing the manufacture of tablets with special shapes or markings.
