Abstract

Tableting machines are used to make tablets from food, pharmaceutical, and other powders. It is well known that the quality of tablets formed by tableting machines varies greatly depending on the compression conditions, such as compression speed and compression force. Therefore, it is important to clarify the behavior of powder inside the mortar during the compaction process. In this present research, we designed and manufactured a thin-walled cylindrical mortar. A special strain gage was attached to the mortar to measure the force acting on the mortar wall during tableting. Based on these results, a discrete element method (DEM) simulation is performed, we compare and discuss the behavior of powder inside the mortar during the tableting process.
