Rotary tablet press is a widely used equipment in the fields of pharmaceuticals, food, chemical industry, metallurgy, etc. It uses the mechanical force and pressure of rotation to press powdered substances into different shapes of solids, such as flakes, spheres, etc.
The rotary tablet press is mainly composed of a feeding system, a pressure system, a rotating system, and a control system.
1. Feeding system
The feeding system consists of components such as feeding hopper, feeding roller, and feeding pipe. The powder material is transported to the feeding hopper through a distributor or vibrator, and then pressed into a copper mold through a feeding roller to form a tablet.
2. Pressure system
The pressure system consists of components such as the main pressure roller, the back pressure roller, and the hydraulic system. The main pressure roller and the back pressure roller interact with each other, generating pressure to compact the powder and form a tablet.
3. Rotating system
The rotating system consists of components such as a motor, reducer, drive shaft, and turntable. The motor rotates the copper mold continuously through the reducer, transmission shaft, and turntable, ensuring that the powdered material is evenly distributed in the copper mold and avoiding unevenness during the pressing process.
4. Control system
The control system is an important part of the tablet press, which controls parameters such as pressure, speed, and feed rate to achieve better powder forming.
As a commonly used molding process, it is very popular in fields such as pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals. Has the following advantages:
1. High production efficiency
The rotary tablet press has the advantages of continuity and mass production, with very simple operation and no need for complex operators. Compared with traditional pharmaceutical processes, it greatly improves production efficiency.
2. Good molding quality
The particles produced by rotary granulation method have uniform molding, high density, smooth surface of the finished product, precise control of particle shape, and high molding accuracy.
3. Good economic benefits
The production cost of rotary tablet press is low, the operation is simple, and one person can complete the operation of the production line, greatly saving labor costs.
