Features of the TDP 1.5 Tablet Press

The TDP 1.5 is a single punch pill press which has a maximum pressure of 15 kilonewtons. It is created to be installed on a bench, but can also easily be detached and relocated. The equipment provides an adjustable fill depth with a maximum depth of 12 mm (0.472 in), and can produce tablets up to 8 mm (0.315 in) across and 6 mm (0.236 in) thick. The TDP 1.5 doesn't restrict you to standard shaped products. By simply swapping the mould on the appliance you can easily create tablets of nearly any shape you choose. Additionally you can alter the density of the pill being manufactured, and the machine provides the option for stamping designs onto the top of the pill, either to provide an appealing finish or for identification purposes. Due to the TDP 1.5’s appeal with R&D applications, several users state that they find this a helpful aspect, as it allows small quantities of pills of different formulations to be manufactured for clinical studies.

This press is compatible with the majority of granulated or powdered materials; however it is not designed for use with excessively moist substances or super-fine powders.
Designed with convenience in mind, the TDP 1.5 is known as a highly functional machine which can either be electrically powered or run in manual mode. While in manual mode, the press is powered by just turning a cranking wheel. Combined with a small base and low weight for a press of this specification, this versatility makes the TDP 1.5 more flexible and portable than other machines offering equivalent overall performance.

Technical Specifications

The TDP 1.5 press has dimensions of 700 mm x 400 mm x 800 mm, or 27.5 in x 15.7 in x 31.5 in, and weighs about 53.5 kilograms (118 lbs). It has a turret speed of 1400 r/min while running on electric power, and its motor runs at a maximum power of 0.75 kW for single phase use, and 0.55 kW for three-phase use. The appliance can run on mains power that supplies either 110v or 220v.

 

TDP 1.5 Tablet Press in Use

This press is remarkably easy to use, and in spite of its compact size it delivers several benefits that separate it from comparable equipment.

To run the press by hand you simply place the raw products in the cone-shaped container, then grasp the wheel and rotate it gently. Tablets will then appear, ready to be bottled. It can be a straightforward process that anyone can learn quickly. If you're simply making a few pills this straightforwardness really comes into its own, and is also a main feature of the equipment. Alternatively, if you need to make a more substantial batch of tablets, just plug your tablet press in and it will operate quickly and efficiently on electric power.

Producing and testing products often necessitates the development of products formulated with similar, but slightly varied, formulations. The TDP 1.5 includes several characteristics which make it particularly suited to this purpose.

Thirdly, the TDP 1.5 permits you to safeguard the efficacy of the testing procedure, by ensuring that what you produce can be easily recognized. The TDP 1.5 satisfies this problem due to the ease in which you can modify the shape, size or design of the tablets you make. Providing you have got a mould for the design you would like to make, you can switch the style promptly by detaching the hopper and unscrewing the feeder mechanism.

You can also swiftly alter the density and weight of the pills you create on the TDP 1.5, by simply unscrewing a nut on the connecting rod and modifying the pressure.

Maintening the TDP 1.5 is straightforward, too, requiring nothing more than a twice-monthly assessment, and greasing and oiling key moving components. The equipment has been built to make this schedule as simple as possible.

LFA's View

The TDP 1.5 represents exceptional value and provides unmatched adaptability. Easy servicing as well as the choice of producing small runs by hand makes this a very suitable machine to use, whilst the capability to operate on electric power and produce larger batches of 5,000 tablets an hour effectively provides two devices in one. It isn't surprising the TDP 1.5 is among the most favored machines in its class.
