Abstract
Device for spraying a pulverulent lubricant or release agent dispersed in an air stream onto the pressing tools in a tableting press, having at least one spray nozzle for applying the powder-containing air stream to the pressing tools, a suction system for sucking the excess residues of lubricant off the pressing tools and an air-jet injector for reproducibly loading the air stream with lubricant, wherein the pressing tools are connected to a sensor, which generates an output signal characteristic of the extent to which the lubricant is covering the surfaces of the pressing tools and controls the amount of air sucked off at the suction system, the loading of the air stream with the powder, or both.
