Singaporean Firm Conducts Hands-on Operation of Jinlu ZP 17D Auto Tablet Press, Unveiling High-Efficiency Solutions

Guangzhou, China

Last week, Jinlu Packing welcomed a delegation from a Singaporean pharmaceutical company for an in-depth inspection. After procuring the ZP 17D fully automatic rotary tablet pressing machine, the client dispatched its technical representatives to observe live equipment operations at Jinlu’s facility.

This collaboration not only validated the technical progress of China’s tablet press machinery but also underscored Jinlu’s expertise in delivering tailored tablet press machines for small and mid-sized pharmaceutical enterprises.

Addressing the client’s core concern of “balancing efficiency and cost in small-batch production,” the ZP 17D automatic tablet press machine precisely meets demand with a mid-range output of 37,800 tablets per hour. As a model of the fifth-generation dual-rotary tablet press machine, it employs 17 sets of GCR15 high-strength molds. While maintaining a compression force of 60KN and a maximum tablet diameter of 20mm, this tablet presser incorporates Siemens PLC-controlled variable frequency speed adjustment, making it ideal for diverse applications—from pressing traditional Chinese medicine tablets to producing modern pharmaceutical and nutraceutical tablets.

Notably, during on-site testing with the client’s proprietary powder, suboptimal flowability was detected. Jinlu’s technical team promptly recommended integrating a pharmaceutical granulator, successfully resolving tablet formation challenges. This “tablet press + granulator” holistic solution earned high praise from the client.

During the intensive demo session, the client focused on three core modules:

• cGMP-Compliant Cleaning System: Featuring a fully enclosed transparent acrylic compression chamber and 304 stainless-steel machine body, the tablet pressing machine is equipped with dual dust extraction systems and modular transmission structures, ensuring zero contamination for automated pharmaceutical tablet production.
• Intelligent Operation System: Digital displays enable millimeter-level precision in fill depth and compression pressure, highlighting the technical superiority of automatic rotary tablet compression.
• Long-Term Stability Assurance: A QT500 ductile iron turntable paired with cast steel guide rails, complemented by an oil-immersed lubrication system, this tablet machine press delivers a decade of repair-free reliability, particularly suited for prolonged operation in traditional Chinese medicine tablet production.

“What gives us peace of mind is Jinlu’s full lifecycle service,” said the client’s technical director, Mr. Lam Wei-han, during equipment acceptance. To address common post-sale concerns among tablet press users, Jinlu offers three guarantees: lifetime supply of original parts, 72-hour global emergency response, and biannual complimentary equipment inspections. This “one-time partnership, lifetime support” press tablet machine eliminates long-term maintenance worries for the pressing of drug tablets.

“Jinlu’s ZP 17D tablet compressor has exceeded our expectations in both precision and adaptability. Your technical team’s swift resolution of our powder flowability issue with a granulator integration has demonstrated exceptional problem-solving capability.” Stated Mr. Lam.

Significantly, after producing plain tablets, the client expressed keen interest in small-scale coating equipment—a testament to Jinlu’s strategic product matrix, which spans a range of granulator, pill tablet press machine, and tablet coating machine, offering flexible solutions for small and mid-sized drug manufacturers.

Currently, the ZP series rotary pill press machines excel in precision-forming diverse dosage forms, including round tablets, oval tablets, single-scored irregular tablets, and ring-shaped tablets. With scalable outputs ranging from mid-capacity (40,000–110,000 tablets/hour) to high-capacity (110,000–260,000 tablets/hour), they hold a competitive edge in traditional medicine tablet machines and nutraceutical tablet presses, catering to R&D trials and industrial-scale production.

For pharmaceutical firms undergoing upgrades, Jinlu Packing’s ZP series automatic tablet press machines deliver three core advantages:

• Dual-Pressure Technology boosts output by 40% at equivalent energy consumption, meeting high-efficiency demands.
• Modular Design supports optional upgrades like forced feeding and intelligent lubrication, adapting to evolving production needs.
• Compliance with CE and ISO certifications for China, U.S., and Europe, ensuring adherence to global standards.

Specializing in rotary tablet presses and automated pill making machines, Jinlu Packing offers a comprehensive equipment portfolio, including pill press machines, capsule filling machines, and laboratory-scale models. What Jinlu provides are not only machinery, but also comprehensive packaging solutions and true partnerships for future business success.
