Single Punch Tablet Press
A single punch tablet press, which is also known as eccentric press or single station press, is the simplest machine for tablet manufacturing. This machine uses a single set of station tooling, which consists of a die and a pair of upper and lower punches. The compaction force on the fill material is exerted by only the upper punch, while the lower punch is static. This action is equivalent to a hammering motion. As a result of this motion, the single punch press is referred to as stamping process. The single punch tablet press produces about 60-85 tablets/minute.
Components of a Single Punch Tablet Press
There are a few functional parts of a single punch tablet press that allow for the machinery to properly function. Here are some of those components.
- Hopper: The hopper is connected to the feed shoe. This is where the granules/powder mixtures are poured into prior to tabletting or compression. The hopper can be filled manually or by using mechanical equipment during subsequent tabletting.
- Punches: This comprises upper and lower punch and they compress the powder into tablets of various shapes within the die.
- Cam truck: The cam truck guides the position/movement of the punches.
- Tablet adjuster: A tablet adjuster is used to adjust the volume of the powder to be compressed. By doing so, the tablet adjuster determines the weight of the tablet.
- Ejection adjuster: The ejection adjuster facilitates the ejection of the tablet from the die cavity after compression.
- Die cavity: The die cavity is where the powder granules are compressed into tablets. The die determines three aspects: The diameter of the tablet, the size of the tablet and to some extent the thickness of the tablet.
In the production of tablets using a single punch tableting machine, the upper punch compresses the powder into tablets while the lower punch ejects the tablet.
Single Punch Tablet Press Advantages
As with any sort of machinery, there are advantages to using it. Here are five key advantages when you use this type of machinery.
- The single punch structure is rational and small.
- It is easy to operate while still operating at a high utilization ratio.
- Single punch tablet presses can manufacture odd-shaped products with a diameter of up to 20 mm.
- It is ideal for the development of tablets and small batch production.
- Single punch tablet press utilizes a high amount of pressure to reduce weight variations between tablets while maintaining a low noise level at the same time.
