The ZP9 is a single-sided, eccentric or rotary press designed for small-batch production, R&D, and university lab use. It's known for its simplicity, durability, and affordability compared to larger, double-sided production presses.
Pharmaceutical R&D and clinical trial batches.
Nutraceutical and vitamin tablet production.
Chemical industry (e.g., detergent tablets, catalyst pellets).
Academic research and teaching.
Cosmetic tablets (e.g., bath bombs, makeup).
Pressure: The ZP9 can typically exert up to 40 kN (approx. 4 tons) of compression force.
Output: With a single feeding station, its output ranges from 5,000 to 15,000 tablets per hour, depending on the turret speed and powder characteristics.
The ZP9 uses B Tooling (BB or D). Common sizes include:
Round: 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, etc.
Shaped: Oval, capsule, square, etc.
The machine's specifications will state the maximum punch diameter and the maximum fill depth it can accommodate.
(Always refer to the official manual, but a general procedure is:)
Setup: Install the correct punches and die, and set the feeder.
Power: Connect to the correct power supply and turn on the main switch.
Adjustment: Manually rotate the flywheel to check for free movement.
Test Run: Run the machine without powder to ensure smooth operation.
Calibration: Set the filling depth (weight control) and compression force (hardness/thickness control).
Production: Add powder and start production, making fine adjustments as needed.
Ensure the machine is completely powered off and unplugged.
Remove the hopper and feeder assembly.
Loosen the locking screws for the upper and lower punch guides.
Carefully remove the entire punch and die set as a single unit.
Install the new set, ensuring it seats properly in the turret.
Tighten the locking screws and reinstall the feeder.
Contact the original manufacturer or a reputable supplier of pharmaceutical machinery. Many third-party companies specialize in ZP9 spare parts (e.g., punches, dies, cams, belts, motors).
ZP5: Smaller, lower pressure, for very small lab batches.
ZP9: The standard for R&D and small production.
ZP19: A larger, more robust version of the ZP9 with higher output.
Full-sized Rotary Presses (e.g., 37-station, 55-station): Double-sided, fully automated, and designed for high-volume commercial production. The ZP9 is a single-sided press.
