From R&D labs to commercial-scale OSD lines, Canaan tablet presses are engineered to solve the production challenges that matter most to quality and compliance teams.
Servo-driven fill depth control at 0.01 mm precision, with real-time PLC weight correction — reducing batch rejection rates and rework costs across high-speed production runs.
Patented interchangeable turret design allows fast format changeovers between tablet shapes and sizes — maximising OEE on multi-product lines without extended downtime.
Audit-trail logging, electronic batch records, and user access controls built in — so your FDA, EMA, or PIC/S audit is backed by tamper-proof production data, not manual logs.
The T220 lab press shares tooling compatibility with the T420/T700 commercial lines. Formulation parameters developed at bench scale transfer directly — reducing scale-up risk and validation cycles.
All Canaan tablet press machines are designed and manufactured to meet the most stringent international pharmaceutical equipment standards. Our compliance documentation supports customer IQ/OQ/PQ validation out of the box.

Canaan offers a full range of tablet press machines engineered for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and chemical solid dosage production. Our lineup covers every stage from early-stage R&D to high-volume commercial manufacturing:
Choose based on your production scale:
All Canaan tablet presses feature patented turret technology, comply with cGMP, PIC/S GMP, and FDA standards, and support 21 CFR Part 11 data integrity. Available with pre-compression, force-feeding, dust extraction, and tablet-in-tablet capabilities.
| Model | Application / Scale | Punch Stations | Max Output | Max Main Compression (KN) | Max Tablet Diameter (mm) | Max Filling Depth (mm) | Power (KW) | Dimensions L×W×H (mm) | Weight (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| T220 | Lab & R&D (single/double layer) | 20 / 8+8 / 16 | 2,400–60,000 pcs/h | 60 | 16–25 | 18–20 | 4.5 | 756×1036×1850 | ≈1,200 |
| GZPK Series | Mid-scale rotary production | 26 / 32 / 40 | 30,000–260,000 pcs/h | 80–100 | 13–25 | 16–20 | 7.5–11 | 1400×1110×1940 | 1,400 |
| T420 | High-speed single discharge | 48 / 44 / 38 / 31 | 9,300–331,200 pcs/h | 100 | 11–25 | 18 | 9 | 1200×1400×2100 | ≈3,100 |
| T700 | High-speed double discharge | 81 / 75 / 63 / 51 | 30,600–1,020,600 pcs/h | 100 | 11–25 | 18 | 15 | 1400×1600×2100 | ≈4,200 |
| Continuous Direct Compression System | Continuous manufacturing (CDC) | T220-based (20 / 8+8 / 16) | 5–40 kg/h | 60 | 16–25 | 18–20 | 4.5 | Custom (line layout) | — |
* The Continuous Direct Compression System is built around the T220 tablet press, so its compression, tablet-diameter, filling-depth, and power values follow the T220; output is expressed as material throughput (kg/h) rather than tablets/h.
Canaan tablet presses serve manufacturers across pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and chemical sectors — from single-compound generics to complex multi-layer and controlled-release formulations.
A servo-driven quantitative guide rail positions the lower punches with an accuracy of 0.01 mm, precisely controlling the filling depth. A dosing or floating scraper removes excess powder to guarantee a consistent fill volume in every die cavity.
All T-series and GZPK presses are equipped with a Level 3 safety circuit for safe operation, together with monitoring systems for pre-pressure, punch tightness, and ejection force. Overload protection and a tight-punch alert further safeguard both operators and equipment.
Yes. The PLC continuously tracks the average tablet weight measured by the pressure sensor and automatically drives the quantitative guide rail to adjust the filling amount, keeping tablet weight close to the set value throughout the run.
The tablet presses meet GMP and FDA requirements and comply with cGMP, PIC/S GMP, and FDA standards, with 21 CFR Part 11 data-integrity support — ensuring adherence to stringent safety and quality standards for pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Yes. The machines are designed for round, irregular, oblong, and double-layer tablets. The T220 supports single/double-layer pressing, while changeable turrets across the range allow quick format changeovers for various tablet shapes and sizes.
For lab and R&D choose the T220; for mid-scale production the GZPK Series; for high-speed lines the T420 (single discharge) or T700 (double discharge); and for continuous manufacturing the Direct Compression System. See the specifications table above for detailed output and parameter ranges.
