Application

Double-press type with high productivity, suitable for making large-sized tablets.

Made of stainless steel, the housing is fully closed. The surface of the rotary turretis covered with a hardened layer so that the turret surface is wear resistant.The machine conforms to GMP requirment.

Adopt transparent windows, tableting state can be observed clearly. The windows can be opened,cleaning and maintenance are easy.

The machine can stop automatically in case of overpressure.

Speed adjustable, operation simple and reliable.

What is a Double-Sided Rotary Tablet Press?
What is a Double-Sided Rotary Tablet Press?

It’s a high-speed tablet compression machine with two compression stations — upper and lower punches compress powder simultaneously from both sides, allowing for pre-compression and main compression in one rotation cycle. This enables higher production rates, better tablet uniformity, and the ability to make multi-layer or coated tablets in some designs.

How does it differ from a single-sided press?
How does it differ from a single-sided press?
  • Single-sided press: One compression station, lower punch is stationary during compression, slower output.

  • Double-sided press: Two compression stations (pre-compression and main compression), both upper and lower punches move, higher output, better de-aeration, suitable for difficult powders.

What are the main applications?
What are the main applications?
  • High-volume production of pharmaceutical tablets

  • Nutritional supplements

  • Industrial products (e.g., detergents, catalysts)

  • Multi-layer tablets (with dual-feed systems)

  • Chewable, effervescent, and high-strength tablets

What are key features to look for?
What are key features to look for?
    • Turret speed (RPM) and number of stations

    • Pressure capacity (tons)

    • Pre-compression and main compression adjustability

    • Feeding system (single, dual, or multiple feeders)

    • Force monitoring system (for weight/hardness control)

    • Tooling compatibility (B, D, BB, etc.)

    • Safety features: guards, interlocks, emergency stop

    • Cleaning & changeover ease (CIP/SIP if required)

    • Data recording & compliance (GMP, 21 CFR Part 11)

How is tablet weight controlled?
How is tablet weight controlled?
  • Lower punch filling depth adjustment (manual or automated)

  • Weight control system using compression force monitoring: measures force on each station and adjusts fill depth accordingly for constant weight.

How to ensure good tablet quality?
How to ensure good tablet quality?
  • Maintain uniform granule size & moisture content

  • Optimize compression force and dwell time

  • Keep tooling in good condition (no worn or damaged punches/dies)

  • Regularly calibrate weight control system

  • Keep machine clean and well-lubricated

Can it handle API with poor flowability?
Can it handle API with poor flowability?

Yes, with proper feeder design (e.g., force feeder) and pre-compression to remove air. May require formulation optimization (glidants/lubricants).

What tooling is used?
What tooling is used?

Standard B, D, or BB tooling (depending on tablet size). Punches can be flat, concave, bevel-edged, or shaped for logos. Quality tooling (e.g., carbide-tipped) extends life for abrasive products.

What is the typical output speed?
What is the typical output speed?

Ranges from 20,000 to over 1,000,000 tablets/hour depending on number of stations (e.g., 35‑75 stations) and turret RPM.

Can it make bi-layer or triple-layer tablets?
Can it make bi-layer or triple-layer tablets?

Yes, with dual or triple feeding systems and layered compression settings. Requires precise layer weight control and sequential filling.
