SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THE FABRICATION OF TABLETS, INCLUDING PHARMACEUTICAL TABLETS

Systems and methods for fabricating ingestible pharmaceutical tablets are provided. Certain of the systems and methods described herein are capable of manufacturing tablets of different dosages without the need to fluidically connect or disconnect unit operations when switching from a tablet having a first dosage to a tablet having a second, different dosage. Certain of the systems and methods described herein are capable of manufacturing compositionally tablets, e.g., tablets with different active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

POWDERY MATERIAL PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

A processing system includes a powdery-material feeding device including at least one feeder configured to discharge a reserved powdery material, and an equipment including a filling device configured to be fed with the powdery material discharged from the feeder and configured to execute a post process using the powdery material filled by the filling device, in which upon a start of the equipment having stopped filling with the powdery material by the filling device and executing the post process, when the feeder supplies the filling device with the predetermined amount of the powdery material before the start of the equipment being stopped, the processing system executes tuning of measuring a relation between control input provided to a motor of the feeder and a flow rate of the powdery material discharged from the feeder.

Powdery material mixing degree measurement device, powdery material mixing and feeding system, and compression-molding machine including the same

A powdery material mixing degree measurement device includes a discharger configured to discharge mixed powdery materials to a filler configured to fill, with the powdery materials, a vertically penetrating die bore of a compression-molding machine including a table including the die bore, a slidable lower punch including an upper end inserted to the die bore, and a slidable upper punch including a lower end inserted to the die bore, a plurality of movable portions configured to move the mixed powdery materials to the discharger, and a sensor configured to measure a mixing degree of the mixed powdery materials in the movable portions.

INTERLAYER MIXING APPARATUS FOR TEXTURING MAN-MADE STONE SLABS
20200282596 · 2020-09-10 · ·

An interlayer mixing apparatus for texturing man-made stone slabs has a pressing assembly, a coloring component, a stirring assembly, a moving assembly, and a control system. A conveyor belt sequentially conveys a slab to working areas of the pressing assembly, the coloring component, and the stirring assembly which are separately connected to the control system. The pressing assembly presses the slab before the pigment and the slab are stirred, so that the texture boundary on the final product is clearer and more complete. The control system moves the moving assembly to position the stirring assembly according to a texture route, while the stirring assembly performs stirring on a part of the surface of the slab, to stir a pigment layer with a raw material layer on the slab.

20200188308 · 2020-06-18 ·

Various embodiments of a system for automated pellet pressing and vialing are disclosed herein.

Machine for molding composite matter and a method of producing ceramics-based composite

The proposed solution solves a problem of designing a machine for producing molded composite parts that are homogeneously structured and the problem of finding a method for producing composite for implants. The essence of the design of the machine consists in that it has a portioning assembly, whereby above a mold form unit (14) there is a guiding unit (11) located opposite a dosing unit (6) and above the aforementioned guiding unit (11) there is a pressing assembly (20) slidingly mounted on a vertical frame (19) and which is equipped with at least one piston rod (25) with a rammer (27) at its end.

A preliminary molding is being performed by thoroughly filling a preform trough and then the matter is being pushed out of the preform trough in portions and then each portion is rammed separately until consistency containing less than 15% air is achieved.
