Precautions

Problem 1: The oil pool does not absorb oil.

Problem 1: The oil pool does not absorb oil. In order to prevent oil leakage during transportation, the oil filling hole screws were tightened very tightly. However, the oil pool was tightly sealed and the cylinder could not suck in the hydraulic oil and pressurize it normally. This screw needs to be loosened during normal use.

Problem 2: The oil pool is short of oil and cannot be pressurized.

Problem 2: The oil pool is short of oil and cannot be pressurized. Under normal circumstances, the oil level in the oil pool is 5-10mm lower than the flat surface. When it is far below this position, oil needs to be replenished. Generally, 68# anti-wear hydraulic oil is added.

Problem 3: The air intake in the oil line is not pressurized

Problem 3: The air intake in the oil line is not pressurized Intake air into the oil line and use a thin screwdriver to open the ball in the one-way valve. Use the other hand to shake the pressure handle 12 to expel the air and the equipment returns to normal.

Problem 4: The high-pressure valve does not pressurize

Problem 4: The high-pressure valve does not pressurize. The one-way valve in the hexagonal screw on the back of the tablet press failed, resulting in no pressurization. Generally, you need to relieve the pressure of the hexagon socket screws, take out the springs and balls inside, wipe them clean and then restore them. Try adding pressure again.

Problem 5: Tension spring deformation

Problem 5: Tension spring deformation. Do not exceed the specified stroke of the oil cylinder. This will cause the tension spring to deform and prevent the oil cylinder from returning to its original position. Pay attention to the height of the oil cylinder when using it.

Problem 6: Mold overpressure

Problem 6: Mold overpressure. When pressurizing, you need to pay attention to the fact that the mold must be placed in the center of the tablet press. And it cannot exceed the maximum pressure that the mold can withstand to avoid deformation of the mold.

Problem 7: Lead screw deformation

Problem 7: Lead screw deformation. When pressurizing, be careful that all threads of the screw must enter the upper plate and cannot only connect a few buckles to prevent the threads of the screw from deforming and becoming unusable.

Question 8: Replacing hydraulic oil

Question 8: Replacing hydraulic oil. It is advisable for the tablet press to use clean No. 68 anti-wear hydraulic oil. If the color turns black or there are many particles, it needs to be replaced in time.

In conclusion, the manual tablet press stands as a testament to the delicate balance between science and technology in the pharmaceutical industry. As we delve into the meticulous operation of this essential apparatus, from the careful replacement of rubber rings to the systematic steps for replacing parts, we gain a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship that goes into producing the medications that impact countless lives. In the ever-evolving landscape of pharmaceuticals, knowledge and precision continue to be the driving force behind innovation, ensuring a healthier and more resilient future for all.
