Abstract

The preferred drug delivery system today is represented by tablets, which are
manufactured using tablet press machine in which powder is filled in a die and that
powder is compressed in a die by upper and lower punch. The objective of the project is
to relook into the design of the machine and to reduce the weight of machine component
like Upper Plate, lower roll housing, upper roll carrier. 3D CAD model of rotary tablet
press is prepared in Solid Edge. Deflection and stresses at various critical points are
determined using FEA tools. Redesign and optimization of the same components of
machine is carried out Considering the Tablet Specification Manual standards at the same
time keeping comparable machine structure accuracy and productivity.
