A powder blender for a system for continuous processing of powder products comprises a horizontal blending tube extending along an axis from a first end to a second end. The horizontal blending tube comprises at least one inlet configured to receive the powder products to be blended, and at least one outlet configured to discharge the powder products after blending. At least two blending devices are positioned in the blending tube and arranged successively along the axis of the blending tube. At least two actuators, wherein each of the at least two actuators is configured to operate one of the at least two blending devices such that the at least two blending devices are actuated differently from each other.

The rotary tablet press has a housing including a compression section () with a turret () including a die disc (), a top punch guide (), a bottom punch guide (), and a plurality of punches (). The turret () defines an axial direction (a) and a radial direction (r), the punches being arranged at a predefined radius defining a pitch (p) of the turret. The rotary tablet press comprises a bearing assembly () connected to the turret () and providing support to at least one auxiliary component of the rotary tablet press and the bearing assembly comprises a bearing () and a support means () for the at least one auxiliary component, and the bearing () is positioned outside the pitch (p) of the turret in the radial direction (r).

The tabletting system () comprises a rotary tablet press () with a tablet press feeder (). A first material feeder () and a second material feeder () are connected to a blender () with an inlet end () and a discharge end (). The discharge end () of the blender is in close connection with the tablet press. The inlet end () of the blender () is positioned at a level (u) higher than the level (v) of the discharge end () in the vertical direction.

Tabletting system

A method for controlling a tablet press comprises the steps of consecutively supplying material into each die of a die table, subjecting the material to a pre-compression and a main-compression, whereby the main-compression is performed under substantially constant compression force and variable resulting tablet thickness of the individual tablets, and measuring a weight value representative of the weight of the material fed into the die. The quantity of material supplied to each die is regulated on the basis of a deviation between a previously measured weight value and a first set value. The weight value is measured during pre-compression of the material located in each die. A rotary tablet press is also disclosed.

Method for controlling a tablet press

A rotary tablet press comprises a rotary system constituted by a turret and a drive shaft arranged in a housing for rotation of the turret. The turret includes a die table and a number of punches are guided in the turret. The turret is connectable to the drive shaft by a coupling including a first coupling part and a second coupling part which are interconnectable by clamping elements engageable between the coupling parts by at least one pneumatic actuator situated in the rotary system.

Rotary tablet press

The rotary tablet press comprises a housing, in which a compression unit ( ) is detachably mounted. The compression unit ( ) comprises a die table ( ) with punches ( ), a feeding device for the supply of material to be compressed into the dies ( ), and a tablet discharge device for removal of compressed material in the form of tablets. The compression unit ( ) encloses each die opening and its corresponding first punch end ( ) in a chamber, the feeding device and the tablet discharge device are enclosed, the feeding device communicates with an inlet for detachable connection with an external supply channel, and the tablet discharge device communicates with an outlet.
