Artur Jakubiak, international sales director at Adamus examines the different factors that can affect tablet press set-up.
Productivity
Today in the race towards the maximum tablet press output, two different approaches are observed - that process efficiency can be influenced by the modification of the machine features or by applying compression tooling with special design.
Obviously, by buying a larger tablet press with a larger turret pitch diameter, the effect of the increasing capacity is easily addressed but is usually connected with high investment costs. Changing design parameters in the existing tablet press - such as the stations number or turret rotation speed - is usually connected with quite deep interference in the tablet press construction and/or control system.
