Abstract (en)

A rotary tablet press comprising a rotating turret (5) provided with peripheral dies (10), a feeder system for introducing product for the tablets into the dies (10), a scraper (27) for scraping off excess of product introduced in the dies (10), a series of lower (14) and upper punches (13) which are slidably fixed to said turret (5) and arranged to compress the product introduced in said dies (10). The turret (5) comprises moreover a circumferential upstanding wall (22) around said dies (10) defining an enclosed space (24) which forms part of the feeder system and which is adapted to contain a supply of the product. The scraper (27) is arranged in said enclosed space (24) and said punches (13, 14) and said cams (15, 16) are arranged to eject the produced tablets from the bottom of said dies (10). In this way product losses can be avoided. <IMAGE>
