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.
Claims17
A rotary press for the production of single-layered or multilayered tablets, the rotary press comprising:
- at least one filling device for filling a pressing material into openings of a die plate;
- at least one filling station;
- at least one metering station for lower punches;
- at least one pressing station;
- and
- at least one ejection station having a tablet stripper and a tablet discharge chute,
- wherein the at least one pressing station includes respectively an upper pressure roller and a lower pressure roller and respectively an upper cam track and a lower cam track, wherein the upper and lower cam tracks interact with upper punches and the lower punches,
- wherein at least one vertically-adjustable upper combination cam, includes a pull-down cam, an upper initial pressure rail, a safety rail, and a pull-up cam arranged below the upper pressure roller, and the lower cam track includes a vertically-adjustable lower initial pressure rail and an integral ejection cam, wherein the vertically-adjustable lower initial pressure rail is located above the lower pressure roller and the integral ejection cam is located on a side of the lower pressure roller attached below the lower pressure roller.
