In further aspects, the invention relates to a tableting machine comprising a described apparatus and a method or use of the apparatus for adjusting a position of a component of a tableting machine. By means of the proposed apparatus, in particular the feeder support of a tableting machine and thus preferably the position of the filling device above the die table can be easily, quickly and reproducibly adjusted, preferably during machine set-up, but also during operation of the rotary tableting machine, in such a way that material loss is minimized.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for providing supporting meshes for use as inserts in a pellet on a tablet machine, and a method for producing a pellet which includes an insert or supporting mesh.

Abstract: The invention relates to a discharge chute (1) for a tablet-making machine, and to a method for sorting tablets after they have been produced in a tablet-making machine. The discharge chute (1) is characterised in that the channels (4, 5, 6, 13), into which the tablets are guided and/or sorted after they have been produced, are arranged on two planes (2, 3), the sorting of the tablets taking place with tandem sorting devices (7, 14). A sorting device preferably comprises two bars (8, 9, 10, 11), which are preferably designated as sorting bars (8, 10) and as separating bars (9, 11). The sorting bar (8, 10) preferably comprises a linear drive (17), which is preferably connected by means of a rocking lever (22) to the separating bar (9, 11). If the sorting bar (8, 10) moves upwards out of the rest position into the sorting position, the separating bar (9, 11) falls downwards automatically and frees the opening of the sorting channel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rotary press having height-staggered ram tips for carrying out at least two pressing operations, which preferably build on one another. Furthermore, the invention relates particularly to rotary presses and methods for producing multi-layer and coating-core tablets and for pressing tablets into cups during a rotation.

Abstract: A casing for a rotor of a tableting machine is disclosed. A method for removing excess tableting material from a tableting machine is also disclosed.

Abstract: A rotary press comprising at least one pressing station having each of a vertically-adjustable upper and lower pressure roller, which are mounted by axes in the at least one pressing station. Cam-guided upper punches having punch heads are fed to the upper pressure roller by a control cam and a pull-up cam raises the upper punches to a highest point above a filling device. A vertically-adjustable safety cam is designed to be vertically adjustable in relation to the upper pressure roller. The rotary press may comprise a preliminary pressure cam, which is integrated in a guide block.
