Abstract
A rotary tablet press machine includes a compression turret rotating about a rotation axis and including a die table with dies arranged to receive a product to be compressed to make tablets, a conveying system for conveying the tablets into an outlet duct, and a reject and sampling system configured to selectively divert established tablets made by the dies into a reject duct or into a sampling duct. The reject and sampling system includes a first diverting device configured to operate on single tablets to be rejected so as to divert them from the die table towards the reject duct and a second diverting device configured to operate on single tablets to be sampled so as to divert them from the die table towards the sampling duct. The first and second diverting devices are configured to operate on the tablets before the tablets have left the die table.
