Enhance Tablet Quality with Effective Powder Lubrication Solutions

In the world of oral solid dosage (OSD) formulations, tablets are a favored drug delivery method due to their ease of use and versatility. Nevertheless, the process of compressing powder into tablets presents significant challenges, particularly with regard to stickiness, which can compromise manufacturing efficiency and product integrity. Several issues can complicate powder compression, including:

• Die wall friction
• Punch face sticking
• High ejection force

These complications often culminate in poor product outcomes, most notably tablet capping.

Internal vs. External Lubrication

Addressing the sticking issues can be effectively managed by implementing lubrication, utilizing either internal or external methods.

The following image illustrates various lubrication processes:

Enhancing Process and Quality

Scientific research indicates that external lubrication typically offers superior advantages over internal lubrication in terms of both process efficiency and product quality. By continuously applying lubricant to the tablet punches and dies, our external tablet press lubrication solution effectively eliminates process defects.
