What are the effects of running partial sets of tooling on a tablet press?
Running partial sets of tooling on a tablet press is very hard on the press and tooling. The reason for this is because the machine’s overload system was designed to have constant pressure between the pressure rolls. For example: if you are running 4 punches in a 16-station press, the system totally relaxes allowing the rolls to come together. The next set of tools then hits the pressure rolls with a severe impact, forcing the rolls apart and shocking the overload system. This can cause damage to the system and promote hydraulic oil leaks. The punches and punch guides receive a severe shock when being forced through the reduced space between the rolls. This can cause premature guide wear or cause them to become out of round.
