How to Choose the Right Model?

Generally speaking, the following parameters need to be confirmed for model selection:

①　Confirm whether your powder is suitable for tableting.

②　Diameter of round tablets (the maximum diagonal length shall be provided for special-shaped tablets).

③　Required tablet thickness.

④　Required production capacity.

Complete Tablet Production Solution

Suitable Materials

1. Dry Powder

Raw materials must be fully dry, with moisture content controlled below 5%.

2. Flowability

Materials shall have good flow performance. The ideal particle fineness for tableting ranges from 20 to 60 mesh, with a small proportion of fine powder mixed in for optimal results. If the material has poor flowability, granulation treatment is recommended. For detailed operations, please refer to our Granulation Guide.

3. Adhesiveness

Adhesiveness refers to the property that powder can agglomerate and bond together under external pressure. Materials lacking natural adhesiveness need binders to improve forming performance, such as maltodextrin, sugar, starch, microcrystalline cellulose, etc.

4. Low Oil Content

Excessive oil inside raw materials will severely hinder tableting forming. Therefore, the material cannot contain high levels of grease.
