Guidelines On The Pill Press

By Lelia Hall


The need for desirable shapes of pharmaceutical materials, cosmetics and products used in cleaning has promoted innovation of various devices. Among these devices is the pill press. Most branded vitamin tablets have additives and supplements that you just do not require. This press helps you in mixing the supplements and also the vitamins you require for one is specific diet and custom them into convenient pills.

How the press functions depends on the traits of the powder used in the tablet making process as well as how the powder is processed. The processing of powder used by this device can be done in various available ways. One of the methods employed is blending directly. In this method, the blending of these materials is done directly and the pills are created from the powder that has been blended. The use of this method is employed when the pills produced are wanted in small numbers as this method creates very few tablets.

Also wet granulation of powder is another means used in the processing of your powder. When using this procedure, a fluid is added into the fine particles and then mixed to form bonds in between the various particles. After the bond has been formed, the fluid which is in excess is removed from the mixture by a drying step. This technique is widely used in the powder processing especially when pills are required in large numbers.

Dry granulation is also a method used in processing of the powder to be used in a pill device. When using this method the material particles is compacted together and the resultant product ground back. This boosts the density of your product. How uniform and consistent the flow of this material is, is influenced by the density of materials used. Where the materials are less dense as well as fine in nature, this process is applied. Where sensitivity of a material is also high this method can be employed.

The flow of powder into the device also affects how the tablets are obtained and also the uniformity of the products after the process. How consistent the flow of a powder into the device is affects the end product of the tablet production process. The powder should be able to flow in not only the best uniform way possible but also consistently.

The flow of your raw materials into the device is affected by the volume present in the flask. So, ensuring the flask is full is essential to ensuring the end products are in desirable shape and are similar in all aspects. Difference in the variables influence both the weight and the shape of a product obtained in this process.

Various powders have different characteristics. Some are large, others brittle soft and even wet. Making a tablet is more like making a snow ball. Both the shape, amount of water vapor and size contribute towards the quality of a tablet. Particles in the powder have to be similar to those other particles to ensure uniformity in the compression of the particles.

Uniformity for your pills is an important issue to be addressed by industries in tablet press making. This ensures a standard final product. Quality is enhanced this way.
