How Does an Automatic Tablet Press Machine Improve Efficiency?

Jul 22, 2024

As the core equipment for the production of modern pharmaceutical and food tablet products, the Automatic Tablet Press Machine you operate is leading the production innovation of the pharmaceutical, food processing and chemical industries with its excellent efficiency and innovative technology. These devices not only significantly improve your production efficiency, but also ensure the stability of product quality, while significantly reducing labor costs and raw material waste. This article will give you an in-depth understanding of how the automatic tablet press can achieve a leap in production efficiency through technological innovation.

 

What is a high-speed automatic tablet press?

Automatic tablet press is a modern production equipment integrating mechanical, electronic, automatic control and other technologies, which is mainly used to pressure form powder or granular materials into solid tablets of specific shape and size. It is widely used in pharmaceutical manufacturing, food processing, electronic chemical industry and other industries, such as the production of various drug tablets, nutrition and health products, chemical additives, confectionery products and so on.

 

Automatic sheet press is mainly composed of feeding system, pressing system, control system and so on. The feeding system is responsible for accurately measuring and transporting raw materials to the pressing mold area; The pressing system uses a strong mechanical force to press the raw material into the desired shape and specification through the upper and lower die in the middle; The control system monitors and adjusts the entire production process in real time to ensure the stability and efficiency of production. These parts work together to form an efficient and accurate production system of the automatic tablet press.

 

The core mechanism of high speed automatic tablet press to improve efficiency

The reason why the automatic tablet press can significantly improve the production efficiency is mainly due to its advanced technical design and precision control system. The following we will discuss in detail the core mechanism of automatic sheet press to improve efficiency from four aspects.

 

Operation principle of tablet press

 

1. Precise control to reduce waste

The automatic tablet press uses high-precision sensors and advanced control systems to achieve accurate measurement and distribution of raw materials. This precise control not only ensures the consistency of product quality, but also greatly reduces the waste of raw materials.

Specifically, the precise control of the automatic tablet press is reflected in the following aspects:

Weight control: A high precision powder filling and pressure control system ensures that the weight error per tablet is controlled within a very small range, usually ±0.5% or less.

Density control: Precise control of tablet density is achieved by adjusting pressure and filling depth to ensure product solubility and bioavailability.

Thickness control: The precision displacement sensor is used to monitor and adjust the thickness of the tablet in real time to ensure the consistency of product specifications.

 

Traditional manual or semi-automatic equipment often leads to excessive use of raw materials or unqualified products due to operating errors or insufficient equipment accuracy, while automatic tablet presses can minimize these problems. At the same time, the control system can automatically adjust the feeding speed and pressing force according to the preset parameters, so as to avoid the waste of raw materials and excessive pressing. This precise control not only improves the utilization rate of materials, but also reduces production costs and environmental pollution. This means huge cost savings for mass production.

2. High-speed operation, shorten the cycle

Another important feature of the automatic tablet press is its high-speed pressing ability. Modern automatic tablet press is usually equipped with 40 die, or even hundreds of die rotary, can simultaneously press multiple tablets, its continuous production characteristics make the production cycle is greatly shortened, greatly improve the production speed.

An advanced automatic tablet press can produce thousands or even tens of thousands of products per minute, which is unmatched by traditional equipment. For example, a medium-sized automatic tablet press can produce 260,000 tablets per hour, while a semi-automatic device of the same size may only produce 30,000-80,000 tablets.

 

In addition, the automatic tablet press also has the following features, further shortening the production cycle:

-- Rapid mold change: Modern automatic tablet press adopts a rapid mold change system, which greatly reduces the time required to replace product specifications, and some advanced equipment can even complete mold change within 15 minutes.

Continuous production: The automatic tablet press can run 24 hours without interruption, reducing the waste of time caused by equipment downtime.

Automatic adjustment: The equipment can automatically adjust the pressure, speed and other parameters according to the production demand, reducing the time of manual adjustment.

 

 

3. Intelligent management, optimize the process

The machine integrates advanced intelligent management systems that monitor the production process in real time, perform data analysis, and provide fault diagnosis and early warning. This intelligent management greatly optimizes the production process and improves the operating efficiency of the equipment.

The main functions of the intelligent management system include:

real-time monitoring: The system can monitor the running status of the equipment in real time, including pressure, speed, temperature and other key parameters to ensure the stability of the production process.

Data analysis: By collecting and analyzing production data, the system can help identify bottlenecks in production, optimize production parameters, and improve production efficiency.

Fault diagnosis and early warning: The system detects potential equipment problems in time and provides early warning to reduce downtime caused by equipment failures.

Remote control: Through a network connection, technicians can remotely monitor and adjust equipment to improve response speed.

These intelligent functions not only improve production efficiency, but also greatly reduce the difficulty of operation and reduce the dependence on highly skilled operators. According to the case of a pharmaceutical company, after adopting the intelligent management system, the effective running time of the equipment is increased by 15%, and the production efficiency is increased by 20%.

4. Be flexible and adapt to improve flexibility

Modern automatic sheet pressing machine has strong flexibility, can adapt to different specifications, materials of product production needs, and can quickly adjust the production parameters. This flexibility allows enterprises to respond more quickly to changes in market demand and improve the flexibility of production.

The flexibility of the automatic tablet press is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Multi-specification adaptation: By changing molds and adjusting parameters, the automatic tablet press can produce tablets of all shapes and sizes, from small tablets to large nutritional supplements.

Multi-material compatibility: The advanced automatic press is capable of handling a wide range of raw materials with different properties, including easy to flow powders, granular materials, and even some difficult materials.

Quick adjustment: Through the computer control system, the operator can quickly adjust the pressure, speed, filling depth and other parameters to meet the production needs of different products.

Batch management: The automatic tablet press supports small batch production, and enterprises can flexibly arrange production plans according to market demand to reduce inventory pressure.

This flexibility not only improves production efficiency, but also brings more market opportunities for enterprises. For example, after a health product manufacturer adopts an automatic tablet press, it can complete the production of up to 10 different products in a day, greatly improving the market response speed and winning more customer orders.
