A combination of a sound formulation with a proper control of the tabletting or capsule filling process is necessary to produce a satisfactory tablet or capsule. These considerations require accurate measurements. Tablet and Capsule Machine instrumentation is a practical guide to the techniques and applications of instrumentation used to mate these measurements. The text provides a sound understanding of the principles and techniques involved, and of how data generated by instrumented machines can be applied to problems inpharmaceutical research, development and manufacture. Topics covered include · the measurement of force · the installation of strain gauges · the measurement of displacement · power supplies and data acquisition · instrumented tablet Presses · calibration of transducer systems · data handling · applications of tablet press instrumentation · the instrumentation of capsule filling machinery · automatic control of tablet presses in a production environment. This is an invaluable guide for pharmaceutical scientists and academics involved in pharmaceutical technology research.
