May 13, 2025Tablet weight uniformity is one of the most important factors in tablet manufacturing. If the fill is incorrect, tablet compression errors, tablet ejection force problems, and even packaging issues can happen. That's why the fill cam is important. It helps control how much powder enters each die cavity before compression.
When the fill cam in a tablet press machine is worn, damaged, or the wrong size for your formulation, you get irregular fill weights, low production yields, and misshapen tablets. It is critical for any manufacturer running high-speed tablet presses to keep the fill cam in good condition.

April 18, 2025Ejection force is the amount of pressure needed to push a finished tablet out of the die cavity in tablet presses. After the powder formulation has been compressed into a solid form, the lower punch moves upward, which forces the tablet out of the die...

March 04, 2025The tablet press turret ensures that everything is in sync during machine operation— from filling, compression, and to ejection. Any damage to this essential part can result in downtime or reduced product quality, significantly impacting tablet production. Because of this, it is highly important for manufacturers to realize just how essential the turret is to the tablet press machine’s operation and why it is important to maintain and take care of this critical component. -
February 06, 2025David Risinger and Jeffrey Butler from Scheu & Kniss are seasoned experts in tablet press turret design. In this Q&A, they talk about the critical role of material science when choosing turret bore bushings and optimizing the tablet manufacturing process.
When the bores in a tablet press turret wear, bushings are often the solution manufacturers turn to avoid interruptions in production or the costs associated with a new replacement turret.
