From a hand-cranked bench unit to a motorized production model — every press in the line takes the same universal tooling, so a formulation moves up the range without a redesign. Pick a model below for full specs, photos, and pricing.

Manual, hand-cranked single-punch press with no electrical requirement. Under 30kg and small enough for a lab bench, a field kit, or a classroom — built for occasional runs and portability rather than volume.

Entry-level motorized single-punch press that also runs by hand crank. Compact and low-consumption, it's built for R&D batches as small as 200g and short production runs alike.

The line's most capable single-station press — motorized, CNC-machined, with a deeper fill depth for thicker tablets. Suited to formulation work that's ready to scale past bench trials.
Full manuals and dimensioned drawings are included with every machine and available before you buy.
| Model | Power | Max Force | Max Output | Tablet Dia. | Fill Depth | Net Weight | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TDP-0 | Manual crank | 3.1 kN | up to 3,000/hr | 4–10mm | 14–15mm | 24 kg | $700.00 |
| TDP-1.5 | Electric / manual | 15 kN | 5,400/hr | up to 8mm | up to 16mm | 55 kg | $1,095.00 |
| TDP-5 | Electric | 50 kN | 4,800/hr | up to 20mm | 18mm | 132 kg | $1,495.00 |
It comes down to batch size and power access: the TDP-0 needs no electricity and suits occasional or small trial batches, the TDP-1.5 is the entry motorized model for R&D through short production runs, and the TDP-5 is built for scaling past bench trials.

Yes — every model in the line shares the same universal tooling standard, so a die set bought for one press installs directly in any of the others without an adapter.
Yes, and your existing tooling carries over when you do. See our guide on when to upgrade from a manual to a motorized tablet press for the concrete signs it's time.
