Introduction
In the pharmaceutical industry, precision, efficiency, and speed are paramount in the tablet manufacturing process. The Fully Computerized High-Speed Double Rotary Tablet Press is an advanced machine designed to meet these demands. This article explores the features, benefits, and technological advancements of this cutting-edge tablet compression machine, highlighting its role in enhancing production capabilities and ensuring high-quality tablet output.
Key Features of the High-Speed Double Rotary Tablet Press
High-Speed Production
The tablet press boasts an impressive maximum output of 7,77,600 tablets per hour. This high production rate is ideal for large-scale manufacturing, significantly increasing productivity and meeting high demand.
Pre-Compression and Main Compression
Equipped with pre-compression and main compression capabilities, each with a force of 10 tons (100 kN), this machine ensures optimal tablet integrity and hardness. The pre-compression stage eliminates air and ensures uniformity, while the main compression solidifies the tablet's final form.
Interchangeable Turret
The machine features an interchangeable turret, compatible with 51 Station "D" Tooling, 65 Station "B" Tooling, 77 Station "BB" Tooling, and 81 Station "BBS" Tooling. This versatility allows for quick changes in tablet production specifications, accommodating various tablet sizes and shapes.
Automated Weight Control and Tablet Rejection
The high-speed double rotary tablet press includes an auto weight control (AWC) system and auto tablet rejection through compaction force control (CFC). This technology ensures consistent tablet weight and quality by automatically rejecting tablets that do not meet predefined specifications.
Motorized Lower Pre-Compression and Main Compression
The machine's motorized lower pre-compression and main compression systems, each with a capacity of 10 tons, provide precise control over tablet compression, enhancing the consistency and quality of the final product.
Advanced Feeding System
A motorized force feeder with AC variable frequency drive (VFD) and a zero-clearance, three-paddle force feeding system ensures uniform powder distribution, reducing wastage and improving tablet uniformity.
Technological Advancements
Fully Computerized PLC System
The tablet press is equipped with a fully computerized PLC-based industrial PC featuring a 19” color touch screen control. This user-friendly interface allows for precise control and monitoring of the tablet compression process, enhancing operational efficiency.
Graphical Pressure Monitoring
The machine provides a graphical representation of the pressure on individual punches during pre-compression and main compression stages. This feature enables operators to monitor and adjust the process in real-time, ensuring optimal tablet quality.
Encoder System for Accuracy
An encoder system enhances the machine's accuracy, ensuring precise tablet production and consistency across large batches.
Internet-Based After-Sales Support
PLC complaints and maintenance issues can be addressed remotely through internet connectivity, utilizing software like Team Viewer. This feature ensures prompt and efficient technical support.
Enhanced Operational Features
Easy Turret Exchange
The machine is designed for easy turret exchange, allowing operators to switch between different tooling setups quickly. This flexibility reduces downtime and increases productivity.
Safety and Accessibility
The tablet press is four-sided open with interlock switches on all acrylic upper guards and stainless steel (SS-304) lower guards, ensuring safety and easy access for maintenance and cleaning.
Vibration-Free Operation
Operating at 80 RPM, the machine is designed to be vibration-free, providing a stable and efficient working environment.
Load Cells and Pressure Roll Assembly
Load cells at pre-compression and main compression stages, along with a sliding type upper pressure roll assembly, ensure precise pressure control and uniform tablet compression.
Optional Features
Turret Lifting by Hydraulic Jack Trolley
An optional turret lifting feature using an external hydraulic jack trolley facilitates easy maintenance and turret changes.
Bi-Layer System
An optional bi-layer system allows for the production of bi-layer tablets, expanding the machine's capabilities to meet diverse production needs.
Ejection Force Monitoring
An optional ejection force monitoring system enhances the machine's quality control measures, ensuring that only tablets with the correct ejection force are produced.
Conclusion
The Fully Computerized High-Speed Double Rotary Tablet Press represents a significant advancement in tablet compression technology. Its combination of high-speed production, advanced automation, and precision control makes it an invaluable asset for pharmaceutical manufacturers. By integrating this machine into their production lines, companies can achieve higher productivity, consistent tablet quality, and reduced operational costs.
