Working Principle
To produce good-quality tablets; several steps take place during the operation or working process of the ZP17/19 Rotary Tablet Press Machine;
1. Feeding
Firstly during the process, a powdered formulation is fed into a hopper located at one end of the tablet press. The powder can be either pre-mixed or directly fed from a granulation or mixing unit.
2. Compression
Next, starting from an approach zone where powders enter, they are compressed between punches and die to form tablets. The compression force may also be adjusted depending on formulation needs.
3. Ejection
After the compression, the tablets are removed from the die and collected either on a conveyor belt or in another container for further processing or packaging.
4. Tablet Inspection
Tablets can be inspected for defects such as chips, caps, or improper weights to ensure only quality ones are packed for distribution.

Functions
The ZP17/19 Rotary Tablet Press has various functions that it performs during the production of tablets;
Powder Compaction: Powders get pressed into uniformly sized and weighted tablets.
Tablet Formation: The shape of compressed powder becomes what we call a tablet – round or oval shapes among other custom designs.
Dosing Control: It ensures consistent dosing of powdered formulation throughout all its products to maintain uniformity among them
Compression Force Adjustment: The compression force can be adjusted so that it can suit different tablet characteristics and formulations.
Tablet Ejection: At times, formed tablets will need to be automatically ejected from dies before their collection for further processing takes place thereafter.
