  • Cost

The initial purchasing and maintenance cost for this machine is relatively high.

You have to consider this cost before purchasing the machine for your use.

Getting such funds can be a challenge even when one wants to own the machine.

  • Product size

This machine is unsuitable for packaging smaller tablets.

This is due to the production process, which requires compaction of the ingredients.

  • Operation

The tablet production process is complicated.

This requires qualified personnel to operate and run the machine.

Failure to hire qualified personnel may lead to machine breakdown, which increases the overall cost.

What are the Main Parts of Effervescent Tablet Press Machine?

The main parts of an effervescent tablet press machine are:

  • Hopper

The function of this part of your effervescent tablet press machine is to hold raw material that you are going to process.

  • Die

A die moulds your materials into the shape and size that you want for your tablets.

  • Punches

The function of a punch is to compress your raw materials to a defined mass within the die.

There are two types of punches in an effervescent tablet press machine, that is, lower and upper punches.

Upper punches rotate vertically from within the dire bore to the outside.

Lower punches are present within the tube and are stationary as the machine functions.

  • Compression turret

Compression turret ensures proper alignment of the punches and dies pockets.

You can increase the production capacity of your machine by using a rotary turret which is segmented.

  • Cam tracks

A cam track facilitates the tracking punches movement during the manufacturing process.

This is by guiding the lower and upper punches along the various stages of tablet compression.

  • Feeding unit.

This is that part between the die and the hopper.

It regulates material moving to the die from the hopper unit.

  • Cap vibrating part

The function of this part is to restructure and aligns the caps during the loading process in the hopper.

This is by vibrating and aligning the caps.

  • Tablet inserting unit

The function of this part is to moves the tablets to the tubes during the filling process.

It consists of sensors that detect the number of tablets filling a particular tube.

This prevents tablets from overflowing which may lead to losses.

  • Cap pressing unit

This unit is responsible for capping the tube once the filling process is over.

This seals the tube that holds the tablets in position.

  • Electric unit.

This is that part of an effervescent tablet machine that powers it.

It is a risky area where personnel handling it should have the necessary qualification.

How does Rotary Effervescent Tablet Press Work?

The working process of an effervescent tablet press work involves:

· Preparation

This step entails checking if every part you have fixed it properly and tightening loose screws.

Check if the machine has all the right parameters for the production process.

This includes setting the size of the tablets, the number of tablets to fill in a tube, and the mixing proportion for the raw materials.

You have to get all the materials for processing, including empty tubes and the tablets in powder form.

· Tablet compression stage

You will feed the right formulation of the powder into the machine.

The shape and size of the effervescent tablet will depend on the design of the tooling system.

Normally, the effervescent tablet press has both lower and upper punches.

Please note that the sequence of the operation may vary from one tablet press machine to another.

However, it involves the following key processes:

i. The powder flows to the tooling system as it rotates

ii. Powder fills the lower punch

iii. Upper punch moves into position

iv. It compresses the powder in stages – pre-compression stage and main compression stage

v. Upper punch moves back into position

vi. Fully compressed tablets are discharged through the chute

Stages in effervescent tablet compression process

·  Filling process

This step entails moving and arranging the tubes vertically into their correct filling position.

While this happens, there is a channel that guides the tablets to flow into the tablet table.

The presence of a pneumatic stop ensures there is accurate counting of the tablets.

This provides uniformity when it comes to filling the tubes.

The tubes rotate as filling takes place.

The machine detects an empty tube and fills it accordingly.

· Inspection process

Once the filing process is complete, the tubes move to the inspection stage.

Here, there is a detection of the right number of tablets per tube.

The machine also checks to confirm if the tubes are in perfect shape for capping to take place.

Rejection takes place for tubes that do not meet the requirement of the inspection process.

This ensures that the tubes proceeding to the next step meet the requirements.

· Capping process

Capping entails sealing the tubes, thereby containing the tablets within the tubes.

There are sensors that detect the sealing of a particular tube or not.

· Packaging

The sealed tubes go through the packaging process where you pack in boxes ready for market shipment.

What Causes Wear in Effervescent Tablet Press Machine?

The leading causes of wear in an effervescent tablet machine are:

  • Dirt accumulation

Using an effervescent tablet press machine without cleaning it results in accumulation of dirt within its vital parts.

Such dirt can cause your machine not to function correctly due to friction while the machine is working.

You can minimize this by cleaning the machine after every use.

  • Lubrication

Failure to lubricate moving parts of your machine increase friction which has the effect of wearing out these parts.

Friction also destroys the lifespan of the individual parts affecting the production capacity.

The solution to this is to lubricate the parts after every use.

  • Spare parts

Your effervescent tablet press machine can wear out if you are continually purchasing low-quality spare parts.

Such parts only run for a limited time before breaking down.

You must purchase your spare parts for your machine from a reputable dealer.

This reduces the chances of buying faulty spare parts.

Where can you use Effervescent Tablet Press Machine?

To correct this problem, you have to regulate the feeder speed since this minimizes the peddle.

Reducing the rate also reduces the movement of material, thereby allowing for all materials to flow through the feeder.

You also need to consider levelling the frame.

Punch Depth Vibrating Abnormally

Abnormal punch depth vibration results in tablets having different compactness and sizes.

This ultimately increases the rejection of the tablets leading to loses.

You, therefore, should correct this by either reworking on the punches and dies.

This can be through setting them to have the correct punch depth.

You may also have to check if the tablet pressing tools are of the right dimension.

You also need to check if the tooling system is in proper working condition.

You need to check if you can replace them when they wear out

Sticking of Tabletting Lower Punches

Failure to clean your machine for an extended period causes the lower punches to stick.

To solve this problem, you have to clean the punch’s tip and the sockets.

This removes material build up around this area.

Always maintain a proper cleaning schedule to ensure the machine remains in adequate condition.

Insufficient Material Flow around the Die Cavity

The cause of this problem is the component misalignment and using worn-out parts.

This has an effect of inconsistency in production, resulting in tablet rejection which increases the losses.

There are different ways you can solve this.

For starters, you can check on the inclination of the feeder and raise it if possible, to increase the flow of material.

It would be best if you also had uniformity on the side of the material you are using.

Another solution is to increase the feeder speed rate.

Abnormal Noise or Vibration

The leading cause of abnormal noise or vibration is the moving parts either becoming loose.
