Ability to produce bulk tablets is the major reason why tableting machines or pill presses are wide in demand these days. These are normally used in multiple sectors (such as pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic, chemical
processing and so on), which have bulk production needs for different kinds of pills and tablets. But, apart from its quality and ability, there are certain problems associated with it. Obviously, it is a machine and it needs proper care to function smoothly. [ Read Also: https://storify.com/pillpressnet/4tips-to-use-tablet-machine-for-minimizingproduc ]
Sometimes, the tooling used in the Pill press machine gets damaged, which in turn, degrades the quality and quantity of output. Here are some problems and their solutions related to the machine –
a) Hostile Formulations Use of hostile formulations can badly affect the punch tips through abrasion, corrosion
and pitting. Sometimes, the material of the tool does not support the compressed formulation. Hence, in such cases the tool gets deteriorated. To avoid this damage, you must select the material carefully and keep a stringent eye on the operating conditions.
b) Deterioration of Punch Keys Punch keys get deteriorated due to some handling damages. Therefore, it is suggested that one should be very careful at the time of loading and unloading of the tooling. Generally, a sensitive material is used in the manufacturing of punch keys. Henceforth, you must you must take good care of setting, maintenance and handling processes.
c) Wearing of Die This generally happens, when abrasive granules or powders are compressed. It leads to increase in tablet capping and tablet ejection forces. To avoid these damages, it is ideal to use wear-resistant die material. If you are a business owner, who needs such machines for bulk production of pills, you must keep these problems and situations in mind. This will ensure that the machine functions smoothly for a long time.
