5 Factors That Affect Tablet Quality in Tablet Compression

When we make tablets like the ones produced at Tianfeng, a lot of good things help us make them good. It’s not simply about mixing the ingredients and squishing them into a hole. To make sure the tablets are of high quality, we must be careful about some things.

2.5.2_Formulation of Tablets

The tablet formulation is to a tablet as a recipe is to any given item and scratch is what's in the powder jar. Just as a chef needs the right ingredients to create a delicious dish, we have to use the correct “ingredients” to make some good tablets. The type and quantity of ingredients we use, as well as how we combine them, is extremely important. This allows us to ensure that we are delivering the best possible version of the tablets to you.

Tablet Compression Pressure

When we manufacture tablets, we have a machine called a tablet compression machine, and ingredients are pressed through the machine to become tablets. Our pressure is the tablet compression pressure. If we press too hard, the tablets can be too hard and easliy broken. With too little pressure, the tablets might dissolve. It’s going to take a little fiddling to get the right pressure so the tablets are strong but not so hard that they can’t be swallowed.

Tablet Tooling Design

Tablet tooling design is about the design of the tablets we produce. The molds that tablets are cast in determine what they look and feel like. Without the appropriate molds, the tablets may not emerge in the correct shape and size, and may be difficult to swallow. Which is why we need to use good molds to make sure our tablets are the right shape and size each and every time.

Tablet Lubrication

When we are putting together a tablet, we use a lubricant. They help the components of the preparation slide readily through the tablet press. Without lubrication, the ingredients can stick to the machine or to each other, which can cause the pills to look scruffy. A little bit of lubricant helps them come out smooth and well-shaped. So, it is important to lubricate to have high quality tablets.

Tablet Compression Speed   

Tablet compression Speed(Speed of Tablet Press) is speed as to how fast the tablet press machine functions to produce the tablets. Too slow, and your pill may not be ejected properly. If it’s too fast, the tablets might not be pressed together properly, potentially compromising quality. We have to dial in the right speed to get the tablets made quickly and properly. Using controlled speed, we can make our tablets high-quality, useable.
