The different parts of a single punch tablet machine are as follows:
1. Hopper: This is the area that holds the powder mixture prior to compression. It allows for easy feeding of the powder into the machine.
2. Die Cavity: This is the area where compression occurs. The shape of the die cavity determines the size and diameter of the tablet.
3. Punches: These are the components that compress the powder mixture. There are upper and lower punches that exert the compression force to create the tablets.
4. Dosing plow: This component pushes a small and precise amount of product into the die cavity. It ensures accurate dosing of the powder mixture.
5. Ejection Cam: This part pushes the bottom punch upwards, ejecting the finished tablet from the die cavity.
These are the main parts of a single punch tablet machine. The machine operates by filling the powder mixture into the hopper, which is then fed into the die cavity. The punches compress the powder mixture, and the dosing plow ensures precise dosing. Finally, the ejection cam ejects the finished tablet from the die cavity.
It is important to note that single punch tablet presses are categorized as a stamping process, as the upper punch exerts the compression force while the lower punch remains stationary. These machines are commonly used for development and small batch production of tablets in industries such as pharmacy, chemical, food, and metallurgy.
Additionally, it is worth mentioning that high-quality parts, such as punches and dies, are crucial for the performance and longevity of the machine. Regular maintenance and replacement of wear parts are necessary to ensure the machine's efficacy and lifespan.
