The invention relates to a method for producing pharmaceutical tablets, in which method pressed tablet articles are formed and given a coating, wherein the pressed tablet articles are, before they are given a coating, stored in an intermediate storage area (10) for a product-specific hardening period and are then automatically removed from the intermediate storage area (10) for further processing, wherein a system control unit (17), in which the product-specific hardening periods can be or are stored, detects the time at which the pressed tablet articles are placed into the intermediate storage area (10) and once the product-specific hardening period has come to an end, initiates the automatic removal of the pressed tablet articles. The invention further relates to a system for producing pharmaceutical tablets, having at least one tablet press (2) and at least one coater (14), which is arranged downstream of the tablet press (2) and which gives the pressed tablet articles formed in the tablet press (2) a coating, wherein the system has containers (8), which are configured to receive the pressed tablet articles ejected from the tablet press (2), the system comprises an intermediate storage area (10) having at least two storage spaces (11), the system has a handling system (9) that brings the containers (8) to the intermediate storage area (10) and removes them therefrom, and the system comprises a system control unit that controls the handling system (9), wherein in the system control unit (17), product-specific hardening periods can be or are stored and the system control unit (17) detects the content of a container (8), the storage space (11) assigned to a container (8) in the intermediate storage area (10), and the start of the hardening period and, once the hardening period has come to an end, actuates the handling system (9) to remove the corresponding container (8) from the intermediate storage area (10) and to transport it for further processing.
Method for producing pharmaceutical tablets in which compressed tablets are compressed and provided with a coating, characterized in that the compressed tablets, before they are provided with the coating, are stored for a product-specific hardening period in an intermediate storage area (10) and, subsequently, are automatically removed from the intermediate storage area (10) for further processing, wherein a system control unit (17) in which the product-specific hardening periods can be stored or are stored, records the point in time of introducing the compressed tablets into the intermediate storage area (10) and, at the end of the product-specific hardening period, initiates the automatic removal of the compressed tablets.
