Record 2 2008-02-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Presses (Machinery)
  • Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
CONT

On single-punch machines, the mixture is fed into one tablet mold (called a die cavity) by a feed shoe, as follows: - The feed shoe passes over the die cavity and releases the mixture. The feed shoe then retracts and scrapes all excess mixture away from the die cavity. - A punch - a short steel rod - the size of the die cavity descends into the die, compressing the mixture into a tablet. The punch then retracts, while a punch below the die cavity rises into the cavity and ejects the tablet. - As the feed shoe returns to fill the die cavity again, it pushes the compressed tablet from the die platform.
