Tips On The Pill Press

By Lelia Hall


The urge to come up with convenient shapes of materials used as drugs, cosmetics and items used in some cleaning processes has influenced innovation in a positive manner. This is because some devices have been made to design the shape of products required. This device is called the pill press. Most tablets may contain supplements that you do not need. This device assists you in stirring up the supplements according to your own specification and nutrient requirement as well as the desirable shapes and sizes.

Understanding the features of a powder used in the tablet press is important in knowing how it functions. The powder used in this process can be processed through three ways. One of them is direct blending. Under this method the powder is just blended and the tablets are then made from the blended powder. This method produces very few tablets however.

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.

Understanding liquid flow is also an important issue in understanding the process by which the press makes the various tablets. Consistency in powder flow is very important. The ability of a good powder to flow is like that of a granulated sugar. This is because granulated sugar has the ability to flow both evenly and consistently. This ensures effective filling of the flask.

Filling up of a flask is the basis for the creation of pills from the device as the flow is very crucial in this process. This creates the need for not only a superb flow but also consistency and uniformity of this powder. Variations of these variables affect both size and weight of a tablet.

The features of powder differ from one material to another. Quality of a tablet is affected by amount of moisture and the size of particles in a powder. Uniformity is thus crucial in this process.

Today many industries are participating in provision of granules into different shapes, sizes and density. For this reason it is important to cater for the quality as well as efficiency in the production process to ensure uniformity on the final output.
