Tablet press' turret can be configured with 9 stations using D tooling, 11 stations using B tooling, and 10 stations of D and B tooling. Adjustable upper punch overload system prevents tool damage, and a lower punch pull-down cam reduces tablet weight deviation. Features include automatic first- layer sampling, pre- and main compression load cells, GMP wear-coated contact parts, a hardened-steel wear plate and die table, and a large-capacity motor that provides uninterrupted motion.
