In solid dosage manufacturing, certain formulations exhibit a high sensitivity to temperature. Insufficient thermal control during tableting may compromise material stability and flowability, and can lead to issues such as sticking, increased weight variation, or reduced production efficiency.

Maintaining a stable low-temperature operating condition during long-term continuous operation is therefore one of the key prerequisites for reliable processing of heat-sensitive materials.

With a clear focus on operating temperature, the Canaan T Series Tablet Press addresses this challenge through systematic heat source analysis and targeted engineering design, delivering enhanced thermal management performance at the machine level.

## **01 Understanding the Primary Heat Sources: A Systematic Approach**

**During Tablet Press operation, heat is mainly generated from four sources:**

1\. Drive system heat generation: Heat produced by the motor and gearbox is transmitted through the main shaft to the turret.

2\. Rotational friction of moving components: Bearings and other rotating parts generate heat during high-speed operation.

3\. Friction between punches and die bores: Repetitive reciprocating motion causes continuous frictional heat buildup.

4\. Compression-induced heat: During the moment of compression, heat is generated by material deformation and friction—this is particularly critical for heat-sensitive formulations.



## **02 Targeted Temperature Control Design**

**To address the above heat sources, the T Series integrates the following design solutions:**

**For case 1:**

a. High-efficiency drive components

High-efficiency motors and gearboxes are selected, with a mechanical efficiency **exceeding 95%, meaning that less than 5% of electrical energy is converted into heat**.

b. Patented heat dissipation design

A patented **heat dissipation technology (Patent No. 201820375378.3)** is applied to effectively utilize spatial air circulation for heat removal.













**For case 2:**

**Aerospace-grade bearings** are used to reduce frictional heat generated during high-speed rotation of moving components.



**For case 3:**

**High-precision turret and tooling** are applied to reduce friction between punches and die bores.

The combined implementation of these measures effectively controls operating temperature while reducing energy consumption and mechanical wear, thereby significantly extending equipment service life.

**For case 4:**

For particularly demanding operating conditions, **localized punch cooling is applied to directly reduce punch tip temperature**, ensuring tablet compression under low-temperature conditions for heat-sensitive materials.

Under high-load conditions (45 kN compression force, 50 rpm turret speed, ambient temperature of 20 °C), testing shows the effectiveness of the localized punch cooling solution.

## **03 Performance in Practical Applications**

In actual production, these design measures have demonstrated clear improvements:

- In comparative tests conducted at a large pharmaceutical manufacturer, the T Series operated continuously **at 90 rpm**, with the temperature in key turret areas maintained **below 30 °C**, indicating stable thermal performance.
- At another pharmaceutical company producing ibuprofen tablets, frequent shutdowns were previously required due to temperature rise. After adopting the T Series equipped with the cooling solution, continuous operation across multiple shifts was achieved, significantly improving effective production time.

## **04 Summary**

For pharmaceutical manufacturers processing **heat-sensitive materials**, temperature control capability directly affects process stability and product quality.

By reducing heat generation at the source, optimizing heat dissipation design, and providing targeted cooling solutions for special materials, the Canaan T Series Tablet Press offers a more reliable option for low-temperature tableting, supporting improved process control and overall production efficiency.
