The invention relates to a rotary press, comprising: upper and lower punch guides having upper and lower press punches and a rotor of a die plate between the punch guides, the press punches cooperating with the cavities of the die plate; the filling device is used for filling the cavity with
powder; the pressure device is provided with an upper pressure unit and a lower pressure unit which cooperate with the pressing punch to press the
powder in the cavity into a pressed product; the scraping device is used for scraping the pressed product from the upper side of the mold disc into the first pressed product outlet; and the sorting device is used for sorting the pressed products into the second pressed product outlet. The sorting device comprises a sorting drive and a sorting element which is moved by means of the sorting drive between a sorting position, in which the sorting element is in the transport path of the pressed articles to the first pressed article outlet and guides the pressed articles to the second pressed article outlet, and a
rest position, in which the sorting element is in the transport path of the pressed articles to the second pressed article outlet. A
magnet driven by a
stator of an
electric motor converts its driving movement into a driving movement of a sorting element by means of a conversion element.
