May do not know this, but in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals a press machine is required in the final stages of the process. Some firms use single phase machines while some use the more advanced Rotary Tablet Press machines. These are used to create the tablet medicines that are commonly swallowed. As time progresses so does technology in all the fields of science.
In the former days, manufacturers of pharmaceutical products had to place the material on conveyor belts where they were then compressed and packaged by the use of foils. A process that was prone to biological contaminants like bacterial transfer from the humans handling the drugs. The process was also very expensive in terms of production costs to the manufacturers. Currently the processes are automated requiring very limited human contact.
The medicinal powder is compressed under very high pressure between hardened steel plates. This process is programmed to produce solid tablets of specific weights so as to conform to dosage requirements of patients. Other than their use in pharmaceuticals manufacturing, these press machines are also used in cosmetics an even cleaning products manufacture.
The basic operations procedures for these machines are flow, compression and finally ejection. At the first stage, the powdery granulated material flows through the machine then is compressed under the specified pressure and punched out in sizes. It is then ejected and collected as tablets ready for packaging and distribution.
In the second stage, an upper and lower punch together with the chosen dye prepares the powder then it is subjected to the rollers with high pressure. The punches then open to release the tablet which is then ejected. This whole process is repeated again and again as may be required.
The press machines have several benefits. They have a good cost ratio of owning one. Their cleaning is very simple and operating them is very easy resulting in high yields. Changing the format is very fast and the parts are easy to assemble hence the short cleaning time.
They come with in-built dust extraction making the head section dust free. They have vacuum regulation and if one desire, a window display for large format indication. They come with very good accuracy even under stress like thermal and static. Their working safety is known to be very good and comes with long maintenance intervals.
Many types of these machines exists, these includes single-punch press and Rotary Tablet Press machines. The rotary press offer very high speeds and can hold many punches for mass production and time saving benefits. Dyes and punches are designed specifically for every job meaning the shapes and sizes are unique to a customer's needs. The process monitoring is automated and the components of these machines are of very high quality. When buying one for pharmaceutical use, consider choosing one with a closed system so as to avoid cross-contamination. The amount of tablets it can produce in a specified time should also be considered in addition to its ability to change the charging and compression modules easily. For the best in production, always go for the high performance machines and you will not be disappointed.
