At a predetermined point of the circumference of the rotor, the material to be processed or compressed into a tablet is filled by means of a filling device into the intermediate space between the upper punch and the lower punch.
  • the two punches are moved toward each other by cams and then get to at least one downstream in the circumferential direction of the rotor pressure roller unit in which they are pressed against each other with pressure, whereby the material under Forming the tablet is compressed. Subsequently, the stamp occur in a downstream in the circumferential direction of the rotor Removal station, in which the pistons move apart and the tablet is removed and removed.
  • the illustrated process relates to the preparation of the tablet from a unitary material, i. a so-called 1-layer tablet.
  • a unitary material i. a so-called 1-layer tablet.
  • an additional pre-compression of the material may be provided, to which purpose then a further pressure roller unit is used, which is arranged between the filling device and said pressure roller unit.
  • a pressure roller unit may have either a pressure roller pair or a single pressure roller.
  • a first material is first filled into the space between the punches by means of a first filling device, whereupon this first material is precompressed by means of a first pressure roller unit.
  • a second material is filled by means of a second filling device in the remaining space between the punches and then compressed by means of a 2nd pressure roller unit.
  • All materials are compacted into the tablet, which is subsequently removed.
  • workstations namely at least two filling devices, at least two pressure roller units and the removal station distributed over the circumference of the rotor.
  • a further, fundamentally different configuration of the workstation is necessary for the production of a so-called jacket core tablet, in which a prefabricated core of a first material is encased in a bottom side and a top side layer made of a second material.
  • a Vorverpressung of the material may also be provided and depending on the type and amount of material to be processed different filling devices are used.
  • the user In order to adapt the rotary press to the type of tablet desired by the user (for example, I-layer tablet, 2-layer tablet, 3-layer tablet, jacket core tablet, each with or without pre-compression) and also to the type of material to be processed, the user must align and install the individual workstations each in a specific mutual arrangement and relative to the rotor, for which a complex conversion of the rotary press is necessary, which leads to long downtimes of the rotary press.
  • the type of tablet desired by the user for example, I-layer tablet, 2-layer tablet, 3-layer tablet, jacket core tablet, each with or without pre-compression
  • the invention has for its object to provide a rotary press of the type mentioned, whose conversion is facilitated for the purpose of adaptation to another type of tablet production.
  • a rotary press with the features of claim 1. It is envisaged that on or on the storage device to which the pressure roller unit is releasably secured, a plurality of similar holding devices are arranged, wherein the pressure roller unit selectively attached to one of the holding devices and / or between different Holding devices can be implemented.
  • the preassembled holding devices which are preferably distributed over the circumference of the rotor, allow the user to select for the attachment of the pressure roller unit exactly that holding device which is assigned to the desired position of the pressure roller unit relative to the rotor.
  • additional pressure roller units as they are necessary for example in a pre-compression of the material or a multi-layer tablet to arrange in the desired manner in appropriate peripheral regions of the rotor, as the user already has several pre-assembled holding devices available stand, from which he must select only the appropriate holding device and bring into engagement with the respective pressure roller unit.
  • the bearing device comprises at least one bearing plate, wherein the holding devices are preferably arranged on the pressure roller unit side facing away from the bearing plate and penetrate them.
  • the bearing plate or plates may be arranged above the pressure ⁇ reel unit or pressure roller units below and / or.
  • the holding device may be a screwing device which is screwed to the pressure roller unit, alternatively, however, it is also possible to clamp or lock the pressure roller unit with the holding device, for example hydraulically or pneumatically, in order to have a quick-change holding device, the one fast Attachment and release of the pressure roller unit allows.
  • a pressure roller unit usually has a relatively high weight, so that a manual transfer of the pressure roller unit is difficult, the pressure roller unit is usually moved on the bearing device or bearing plate. So that the holding devices do not hinder this displacement, it can be provided in a development of the invention that the holding devices can be brought into a non-use position in which they are received in the storage device, so that on the side of the storage device on which the pressure roller unit is arranged and is shifted, the holding device does not protrude.
  • the holding device in the non-use position with the surface of the bearing device or the bearing plate forms a smooth, stepless surface, whereby on the one hand the displacement of the pressure roller unit is facilitated and on the other hand it is avoided that material dust accumulates in depressions, which is undesirable for hygienic reasons.
  • the rotary press has a plurality of preassembled similar drive devices, wherein the filling device can be coupled via at least one transmission element optionally with one of the drive devices.
  • the transmission element may be, for example, a belt, a flexible shaft or a propeller shaft. Due to this configuration, the user has the option of placing the filling device at the desired and suitable location in the peripheral region of the rotor and then connecting it via the transmission element to one and usually the nearest drive device. It can be provided that the drive devices are arranged on the bearing device or the bearing plate. It has proven to be particularly advantageous to arrange the drive devices distributed over the circumference of the rotor, so that a suitable drive device is present in the vicinity for each position of the filling device.
