Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of rotary tablet presses, specifically, it relates to a discharge mechanism for a rotary tablet press. Background Technology

[0002] Rotary tablet presses are used to compress various granular raw materials into round and irregularly shaped tablets. They are essential equipment suitable for mass production. The structure is a dual-pressure type, with two sets of feeding devices and two sets of rollers. The speed of the turntable, the filling depth of the material, and the tablet thickness are adjustable during compression. The machine's mechanical buffer device prevents damage to components due to overload. Due to its excellent performance and simple operation, it is widely used in many fields. The discharge mechanism is an essential working mechanism in high-speed rotary tablet presses. However, most existing discharge mechanisms for high-speed rotary tablet presses on the market are simply fixed horizontal discharge channels extending directly from the discharge port. Due to the high-speed operation of high-speed rotary tablet presses, material easily accumulates in the discharge channel, thus affecting the overall operation progress of the tablet press. Application No. CN202022953633.8 discloses a uniform discharge mechanism for a high-speed rotary tablet press. The mechanism utilizes a scraper and material distribution channels on the top surfaces of both guide seats 1 and 2 to ensure the material is evenly distributed onto the conveyor belt, guaranteeing uniform material transport. While this device provides excellent material guiding and discharge performance, during operation, insufficient pressure, excessive pressure, or uneven pressing can lead to incomplete tablet filling, damage, or cracking, resulting in the discharge containing broken particles and other defective products.

[0003] In view of this, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content
