What is single punch tablet press?
A single-station tablet press is a pharmaceutical industry device designed to produce single-layer solid tablets or pills. This type of tablet press typically performs a single tabletting operation in one pressing cycle, forming a single layer of tablets.
Features and Working Principles
Single-layer tabletting
The distinctive feature of a single-station tablet press is that it forms only one layer of tablets per pressing cycle, making it suitable for the production of single-layer pharmaceutical formulations.
Feeding and filling
Medicinal ingredients, in the form of powder or granules, are introduced into the feeding system of the single-station tablet press and then filled into the mold.
Tableting
After filling, pressure is applied to compress the medicinal ingredients into solid tablets. This tabletting process is typically completed at a single workstation.
Ejection
The formed tablets are ejected from the mold, ready for the next tablet production cycle.
