Controlled lubrication during tablet compression
External lubrication is an advanced method that sprays a precise amount of lubricant directly onto tablet press tooling. By targeting only the punch faces and die walls, it prevents common issues like sticking and capping, reduces the need for dry lubricant in the blend, and supports cleaner, more efficient production.
Principles of external lubrication
Role and impact in tablet compression
Why
External lubrication enhances tablet quality, optimizes manufacturing efficiency, and reduces potential formulation issues.
Where
External lubrication is applied during tablet compression stage of the manufacturing process, it is applied directly to the tooling surfaces and especially in the upper and lower punches and die walls.
How
A thin and controlled layer of lubricant is directly atomized to the tablet punches and die walls.
This process ensures that lubrication is only applied where it is needed, improving tablet quality, enhancing mechanical strength, preventing segregation of the lubricant in the blend and reducing significantly the usage of magnesium stearate.
Fits any tablet press
The external lubrication system is designed to work seamlessly with all tablet presses, including older machines. Its custom nozzle can be adapted to any press configuration, ensuring precise and consistent lubrication without the need for major modifications. This makes it an ideal solution for upgrading existing equipment and supporting both new and retrofitted tablet production lines.
