Product Description
The ZP30-17 rotary tablet press is used to compress various granular raw materials into round tablets, making it suitable for small-batch production. The ZP30-17 rotary tablet press features a turntable that can accommodate 17 punches, producing 17 tablets per rotation. The turntable speed, material filling depth, and tablet thickness can all be adjusted during tableting. A mechanical buffer prevents damage from overload. A powder suction box on one side of the machine absorbs dust generated during operation, preventing clogging and allowing for reuse of raw materials. It is suitable for use in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries, where it compresses various granular raw materials into tablets, such as round and blocky tablets, sugar tablets, and calcium tablets.
Application Scope
This rotary, continuous tablet press is widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, chemical, ceramic, electronics, plastics, and powder metallurgy industries to compress a variety of granular materials into tablets. By changing the mold, it can press various round or special-shaped tablets with text, symbols, and graphics. However, it is not suitable for pressing gelatinous, moist, or semi-solid materials.
Product Features
1. The mechanical transmission part of the machine is completely isolated from the tablet pressing studio to prevent the material from being contaminated during tablet pressing;
2. The tablet pressing room is a fully enclosed structure with organic glass. During operation, the whole process of tablet pressing can be clearly seen while preventing dust from flying and polluting the surrounding environment.
3. The turntable is made of special cast iron with titanium coating on the outer surface, which has good corrosion resistance. According to user needs, the upper and lower punches and the middle die can be made of titanium alloy or hard alloy;
4. This machine is equipped with a pre-pressing wheel device to improve tablet pressing quality;
5. This machine adopts a four-column structure, which has good stability and smooth operation during operation;
6. The motor of this machine is controlled by a frequency converter, and the speed can be infinitely changed within the allowable range according to actual production requirements.
Working Principle
1. The outer cover is fully enclosed and made of stainless steel. The internal table is made of stainless steel, which can maintain the surface gloss and prevent cross contamination, and complies with GMP.
2. A transparent protective cover allows for a clear view of the machine's operation. It can be fully opened for easy cleaning and maintenance.
3. The speed is infinitely variable and can be adjusted at will.
4. It achieves mechatronics, featuring touch-sensitive keys and a display (for speed, output, fault information, etc.).
5. The transmission system is enclosed in an oil tank beneath the machine body, creating a secure separation between independent components that prevent cross-contamination. The drive shaft is immersed in an oil reservoir for adequate lubrication, reducing noise and wear.
6. A dust collector is installed to remove dust from the pressing chamber.
7. The punches are compatible with ZP19, 33, 35, and 37 tablet presses.
8. When pressing double-layer tablets, output is halved compared to single-layer tablets.
