What is the compression machine?
Compression machines are used to compress the powder or granules into uniform size and weight. The compression machine and tooling part are involved in the compression of tablets. So maintenance and lubrication of tooling is a very critical part of the pharmaceutical industry.
What is single punch machine?
Single punch tablet press also called eccentric press or single station press is the simplest machine for tablet manufacturing. Single punch tablet as the name implies employ single set of station tooling that is a die and a pair of upper and lower punches.
What is meaning of Physics of tablet?
Tablet compression physics includes: Transmission of forces during compression. Distribution of forces in tablets. The effect of applied pressure on the. relative volume of the powder. Interparticulate adhesion and cohesion.
What are the physics of tablet compression?
The process of compression: in pharmaceutical tablet manufacturing an appropriate volume of granules in a die cavity is compressed between an upper & lower punch to consolidate the material into a single solid matrix which is subsequently ejected from the die cavity as an intact tablet.
How does a tableting machine work?
The basic principle behind the tablet compression machine is hydraulic pressure. This pressure is transmitted unreduced through the static fluid. Any externally applied pressure is transmitted via static fluid to all the directions in the same proportion. It also makes it possible to multiply the force as needed.
What are the different types of tableting machines?
Broadly, we there are two main types of tableting machines:
- Single station tablet press.
- Multi-station tablet press.
What are the functions of a tableting machine?
A tablet press, also known as a tablet compressing machine or tableting machine, is used to compress pharmaceutical powder formulations into tablet form, creating tablets of uniform size, shape and weight.
What is compression and compaction?
Compression is a process of compressing, or increase in density or lessening in the bulk volume of granules or powder. While Compaction is the process of alteration of powders into a coherent specimen or compacting powder or granules.
What is unit of hardness of tablet?
A tablet hardness tester is used to determine the edge-to-edge (diametral) tablet hardness. Typical hardness measurement units include: kiloponds (kp), Strong Cobb Units (SCU), and Newtons (N).
What is compression in tablet manufacturing?
The compression stage of the tablet compressing process forms the tablet. This stage involves bringing together the upper and lower punches under pressure within the die to form the tablet. As the punches enter the compressing stage, the upper and lower punches move between two large wheels called pressure rolls.
