A Confectionery Tablet Press Machine is a specialized rotary tablet compression machine designed for high-speed, high-volume production of compressed tablets in the confectionery industry. It transforms powdered or granulated ingredients (such as sugar, dextrose, sorbitol, citric acid, flavors, colors, and binders) into uniform, solid tablets like candies, mints, lozenges, chewables, or effervescent sweets.

Key Features and Specifications
-
Type: Single-sided or double-sided rotary press.
-
Compression Force: 40–100 kN (adjustable for dense or friable tablets).
-
Material Compatibility: Food-grade stainless steel (SS 316L contact parts); GMP-compliant for hygiene.
-
Dust Control: Integrated dust extraction system to prevent cross-contamination.
-
Automation: PLC-controlled with HMI touchscreen; auto-lubrication, weight adjustment, and rejection of defective tablets.
-
Safety: Overload protection, emergency stop, and enclosed design to meet FDA/USDA standards.
Working Principle
-
Feeding: Granulated mix is fed via gravity or force feeders into die cavities on a rotating turret.
-
Compression: Upper and lower punches compress the powder under high pressure.
-
Ejection: Formed tablets are ejected and collected via a chute.
-
Optional Add-ons: Cooling tunnels, dedusters, or metal detectors for post-compression processing.
Applications
-
Hard candies (e.g., breath mints).
-
Medicated confectionery (vitamin gummies, throat lozenges).
-
Functional sweets (energy tablets, probiotic chews).
Advantages
-
Ensures uniformity in size, weight, and dissolution.
-
High efficiency with minimal waste (<1%).
-
Scalable for small-batch R&D or large-scale production.
