Why Choose the TDP Series?

Stable Compression Performance

Provides reliable compression performance for laboratory and small-batch tablet production.

Adjustable Tablet Parameters

Filling depth, compression force and tablet thickness can be adjusted according to tablet requirements.

Steel Machine Body

The steel construction provides a solid and durable structure for stable operation.

Stainless Steel Contact Parts

Product-contact parts are made of stainless steel for hygienic production and easier cleaning.

Belt-Driven Transmission

The belt-driven structure provides a straightforward mechanical transmission system.

Flexible Tablet Production

Different punch and die sets can be used to produce tablets in various shapes and sizes.

Typical Applications

               
Working Principle

The TDP Series Single Punch Tablet Press uses a reciprocating single-punch compression process. Powder or granules are fed into the die cavity, where the upper punch applies compression to form the tablet. After compression, the lower punch rises to eject the finished tablet, completing one production cycle.

The filling depth, compression force and tablet thickness can be adjusted according to the formulation and tablet requirements. Its solid mechanical structure provides stable compression performance for laboratory testing, product development and small-batch production.

Technique parameter

How to Choose the Right Model?

Generally speaking, the following parameters need to be confirmed for model selection:

①　Confirm whether your powder is suitable for tableting.

②　Diameter of round tablets (the maximum diagonal length shall be provided for special-shaped tablets).

③　Required tablet thickness.

④　Required production capacity.

Suitable Materials

1. Dry Powder

Raw materials must be fully dry, with moisture content controlled below 5%.

2. Flowability

Materials shall have good flow performance. The ideal particle fineness for tableting ranges from 20 to 60 mesh, with a small proportion of fine powder mixed in for optimal results. If the material has poor flowability, granulation treatment is recommended. For detailed operations, please refer to our Granulation Guide.

3. Adhesiveness

Adhesiveness refers to the property that powder can agglomerate and bond together under external pressure. Materials lacking natural adhesiveness need binders to improve forming performance, such as maltodextrin, sugar, starch, microcrystalline cellulose, etc.

4. Low Oil Content

Excessive oil inside raw materials will severely hinder tableting forming. Therefore, the material cannot contain high levels of grease.

FAQ
