Large Tablet Press Machine
The TVD-23 is the premier large tablet press machine in the TIWIN
portfolio, engineered to compress tablets up to 56mm diameter with
200KN dual-sided compression force. With 23 heavy-duty stations and
a 30mm filling depth, this machine produces the largest round
tablets in its class — ideal for veterinary boluses, large-dose
animal supplements, water purification tablets, industrial chemical
tablets, and agricultural applications where standard
pharmaceutical presses are physically incapable of handling the
tooling dimensions.
Built on a massively reinforced 5,500kg frame with large-diameter
punch shafts, the TVD-23 combines German PLC precision control with
ABB motor power to deliver consistent large-tablet quality at
44,000 tablets per hour. The dual large-area force feeders overcome
the poor flow characteristics of coarse, high-volume powder blends
typical of large-tablet formulations, while the fully enclosed
compression zone with safety interlocks ensures GMP-compliant
production for regulated animal health and industrial applications.

Large Tablet Engineering Features
- 56mm maximum tablet diameter — the largest in the TVD series —
accommodates veterinary boluses, livestock supplements, pond
treatment tablets, and industrial chemical discs
- 200KN dual-sided compression with matched pre-compression
eliminates capping and lamination defects common in large-diameter,
high-volume tablet formulations
- 30mm filling depth handles the high-volume powder doses required
for large tablets, with dual force feeders ensuring uniform die
cavity fill
- Large-diameter punch shafts distribute 200KN force evenly across
the tablet surface, preventing density variation between tablet
center and edges
- German-brand PLC with ABB motor enables independent adjustment of
pre-compression and main compression force curves optimized for
large tablet geometry
- Dual large-area force feeders with stirring paddles overcome the
flow challenges of coarse, granular, and low-density powder blends
used in large tablet production
- 23-station turret with CNC-machined die bores maintains precise
alignment for large-format punches and dies under maximum
compression loads
- Automatic oil lubrication with enhanced bearing surfaces supports
the additional mechanical loads generated by large-diameter tablet
compression
- Double-sided discharge with dual hoppers provides 44,000 tablets
per hour output suitable for mass-market large tablet products
- SUS304 stainless steel construction with fully openable side panels
for ergonomic access to the large-format tooling during cleaning
and changeover
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the largest tablet the TVD-23 can produce?
The TVD-23 produces round tablets up to 56mm diameter and 10mm
thickness with a 30mm maximum filling depth. This is significantly
larger than standard pharmaceutical presses (typically 13-25mm).
For reference, a 56mm tablet is comparable in diameter to a golf
ball — ideal for veterinary boluses, large animal supplements,
water treatment tablets, and industrial chemical applications
requiring high-dose single-tablet delivery.
Why does large tablet production require 200KN pressure?
Tablet compaction force requirements scale with tablet surface
area. A 56mm tablet has approximately 5 times the surface area of a
standard 25mm pharmaceutical tablet, requiring proportionally
higher compression force to achieve equivalent density. The
TVD-23's 200KN system — equivalent to 20 metric tons — ensures
uniform density across the entire tablet cross-section, preventing
the common large-tablet defect of dense centers with weak, friable
edges.
What industries use large-format tablet presses?
The TVD-23 serves veterinary pharmaceutical manufacturers
(livestock boluses, horse tablets), animal supplement producers
(mineral blocks, vitamin boluses), water treatment companies (pool
chlorine tablets, pond treatment discs), agricultural chemical
producers (fertilizer tablets, soil treatment discs), and
industrial cleaning product manufacturers (detergent tablets,
disinfectant pucks). Any application requiring a single large-dose
or large-format compressed product benefits from the TVD-23's 56mm
capacity.
