What is the difference between a single-punch tablet press and a rotary tablet press?

The main differences between single-punch tablet presses and rotary tablet presses are as follows:

Tablet press working principle:

Single-punch tablet press:

A single-punch tablet press has only one impact system, that is, only one working position. The powder is placed in a mould, which is then compressed into tablets in a single press.

Rotary tablet press:

A rotary tablet press uses a rotary motion to compress powdered medicine into tablets. Place the medicinal powder on the rotating disk. Continuous compression via tableting systems at multiple workstations enables efficient batch production.

Tablet press productivity:

Single-punch tablet press:

Since there is only one station, a single-punch tablet press can only produce one tablet at a time. Therefore, the production efficiency is relatively low.

Rotary tablet press:

Because it has multiple working stations and can perform multiple tableting operations at the same time, the production efficiency is higher, usually much higher than that of a single-punch tablet press.

Tablet press applicable scene:

Single-punch tablet press:

 suitable for small-scale production or laboratory environments, pharmaceutical companies with small production scale, or individual pharmacies.

Rotary tablet press:

suitable for medium to large-scale production, capable of meeting higher production needs, and commonly found in large pharmaceutical factories.

Tablet press operation method:

Single-punch tablet press:

 The operation is relatively simple, and only a single tablet pressing operation is required at a time.

Rotary tablet press:

It is necessary to pay attention to the control of the rotation movement during operation. Need to arrange powder supply and tablet collection at multiple stations.

Tablet press process control:

Single-punch tablet press:

Usually requires manual adjustment of pressure and other process parameters.

Rotary tablet press:

Generally equipped with an automatic control system, it can accurately control pressure, speed and other process parameters to improve production efficiency and product quality.
