The different types of pill presses are categorized as rotary tablet presses and single punch presses.
Rotary tablet presses are designed to increase the output of tablets. They have multiple tooling stations and as the turret rotates, the punches move between a set of upper and lower compression rolls, exerting enough compression to form uniform tablets in large quantities. Rotary presses have the ability to independently control weight, thickness, and hardness of tablets. They can produce up to 1,000,000+ tablets per hour, depending on press size and tooling configurations. Rotary presses are cost-efficient and can meet most tablet batch requirements in various industries such as pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, confectionery, and veterinary applications. They are also used to produce catalysts, ceramics, powdered metals, and other compressible materials.
On the other hand, single punch presses, also known as eccentric or single station presses, are the simplest form of tablet press. They utilize a single station of tooling that is composed of a pair of upper and lower punches and a die. In this type of press, the lower punch remains stationary while the upper punch exerts the entirety of the compression force to create the tablets. Single punch presses are best for projects where minimal amounts of test material are available and for confirming compressibility. They are small in size, easy to operate, have low noise levels, and are suitable for compression feasibility.
Overall, rotary tablet presses are ideal for high batch production and offer precise control, while single punch presses are suitable for smaller projects and confirming compressibility.
