Tabletology: Understanding the Science behind Tablet Technology

A tablet is a wireless, movable computer with a touchscreen interface. The tablet form factor is generally lower than a tablet computer, but larger than a Smartphone. Kay envisaged a particular computing device for children that works enough much like a PC.

Some of the most important machines used in the tablet manufacturing process are Single Sided Rotary Tablet Press Machines, Double Sided Rotary Tablet Press Machine, High-Speed Rotary Tablet Press Machine, Double Cone Blender, Rapid Mixer Granulators, Fluid Bed Dryer, Multi Mill, Octagonal Blender, V Cone Blender, Vibro, etc.

 

Parcels of a tablet:

General parcels of Tablet lozenge forms

  1. A tablet should have an elegant product identity while free of blights like chips, cracks, abrasions, and impurities.
  2. Should have sufficient strength to repel mechanical shock during its product packaging, shipping, and allocation.

The Issue of Sticking:             

This is when scrap builds up on the punch tip face or dies drag. Sticking can negatively affect the appearance of the tablet and become so significant that the product is intruded upon.  There are numerous reasons for sticking, with one of the most common being humidity within the expression. This can be a root cause of a rise in tenacious forces. This happens with the increase in capillary action between the tooling face and the scrap. Capillary forces are generated when humidity condenses into the gap between a flyspeck and face, creating a liquid ground. The strength of these forces can depend upon the relative moisture, gap figure, and face chemical condition. These capillary islands increase the cohesive forces and help bind the tablet together but can also have a negative effect by adding the adhesion forces between the scrap and the punch tip faces, leading to sticking.

 

Make or Break:

Understanding a tablet’s expression can either make or break production. However, the result will be a product run filled with problems, if the characteristics of the expression being compressed aren’t understood. It’s important that the tooling reflects the compressed phrasings to ensure a quality, fault-free tablet.  By choosing and testing tooling accouterments and coatings named for their specific parcels, overall outfit effectiveness will be bettered, the product will be enhanced, volume figures will increase, and time-out due to product problems will be reduced.  It’s important to communicate with an educated tooling manufacturer who understands the wisdom behind tablet products and can introduce innovative results to tableting problems to maximize product capability.
