A tablet press is a machine used in the pharmaceutical and food industries to compress powder into tablets. It works by applying pressure to the powder, forming it into a solid shape. This process ensures that the tablets have a consistent size and weight, which is crucial for dosage accuracy. Tablet presses come in various types, including single-station and multi-station models. The multi-station presses can produce a large number of tablets quickly, making them ideal for high-volume production. These machines are essential for manufacturing medications and vitamins, ensuring that they are safe and effective for consumers.
