Avoid weight variation in tablets

The weight of the tablets is one of the most important quality standards. Find out how PAT Group can help pharmaceutical industries.

Tablet weight variation is a common problem that can lead to defects in tablet manufacturing. Controlling this variable within a tight range will help improve tablet hardness and friability.

Reviewing the following points is essential to start the identification and optimization of the process:

- Maintenance and replacement of parts of the tablet press

Checking the wear and timely changing the turbine and the filling guide is the first step to detect possible errors.

- Punch tooling defect

Cleaning the die is essential to remove traces of sticky powder, as well as applying lubricant before storing.

- Semi-finished product quality

Filler powder is an important factor influencing tablet weight. If the powder is too hard, wet, coarse or fine, the tablet weight will also vary.

Attention to each step of the tablet production process is essential to ensure quality and weight accuracy.
