Topic: Single Punch Tablet Press

Identification:
1. What facilitates the ejection of the tablet from the die cavity after compression? - Ejection
adjuster
2. In this position, the upper punch is raised and lower punch drops to create a cavity in the
die. -Position 1
3. What component guides the position/movement of the punches? -Cam truck
4. What is the maximum diameter of the odd-shaped products a single punch can manufacture?
- 20 mm
5. The single punch tablet press produces about how many tablets per minute? - 60-85
tablets/min

True or False
1. One advantage of a single punch’s structure is that it is rational and big. False (small)
2. Single Punch is also known as eccentric press or single station press. True
3. Single Punch is the most complex machine for tablet manufacturing. False (simplest)
4. The die cavity is where the powder granules are compressed into tablets. True
5. Single punch tablet press is ideal for the development of tablets and small batch
production. True

MULTI-PRESS STATION QUESTIONS

TRUE or FALSE
1.) The punch head flat is the reason why rotary presses do not have dwell time. - FALSE
2.) Tablet press is designed to be used with either "B" or "D" but not both because the compression force
obtainable in a machine does not depend on the type of tooling used. FALSE
3.) One of the things to do in order to achieve higher output of a tablet press is to increase the rate of compression
turret speed. - TRUE
4.) The "O. D." in the Die O. D. means "Outward Diameter" - FALSE
5.) The Head is above the Neck which is the largest diameter of the die. - FALSE
6.) The capacity of the multi-station press is determined by the rotation speed of the turret and the die - TRUE
7. ) Punch Barrel Diameter of D Type is 0.750 in. - FALSE

IDENTIFICATION:
1.) The other name of the Multi-Station Press - ROTARY TABLET PRESS
2.) The type of compression for multi-station press wherein both upper and lower punches leaving the granules
to be compressed in the middle - ACCORDION COMPRESSION
3.) It is very critical procedure in the tablet compression process that controls the depth of the die filling - WEIGHT
CONTROL UNIT / CAPACITY REGULATOR
4.) (2pts) What are the 2 Components of the Feeder System
- FEEDER HOUSING
- FEEDER PEDDLE
4.) A type of configuration that can be used with two types of die. - B TYPE
5.) Refers to the radius that blends the punch barrel to the stem. - BARREL-TO-STEM RADIUS
6.) Used normally to release air from the die cavity during the compression cycle - DIE TAPER
