Core Applications

 Formulation & R&D: Testing blend flowability, bind strength, and compressibility before scaling to rotary equipment.

 Small-Batch Runs: Ideal for specialty supplements, trial batches, or lower-volume SKUs.  

Primary Troubleshooting Focus Areas

 Tablet Capping / Lamination: Usually indicates excessive compression force, excessive fine particles, or air entrapment in the die cavity.

 Weight Variation: Typically caused by uneven powder flow in the boot feeder, incorrect fill depth adjustment, or speed variation.

 Punch / Die Binding: Frequently stems from insufficient lubrication in the formulation (e.g., magnesium stearate) or binding from excessive humidity
