What happened to the cracks in the tablet press?

If your tablet press consistently produces tablets with cracks, there are several possible solutions you can try:

1.Adjust the compression force: Cracks can be caused by too much or too little pressure during the compression process. Adjusting the compression force may help to prevent cracking.

2.Check the tooling: If the tooling is worn or damaged, it can cause cracks in the tablets. Inspect the tooling regularly and replace it if necessary.

3.Adjust the formulation: If the formulation of the tablet is not properly balanced, it can cause cracking during the compression process. Adjusting the formulation may help to prevent cracking.

4.Check the moisture content: If the granules are too dry or too moist, they can cause cracks in the tablets. Check the moisture content of the granules and adjust as necessary.

5.Inspect the machine: If the machine is not properly maintained or is worn, it can cause cracks in the tablets. Regular maintenance and repair of the machine may help to prevent cracking.

By addressing these possible causes, you may be able to prevent cracking in your tablet press.
