Tablet Presses

Tablet presses —
three models, one tooling standard.

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.

Questions

Frequently
asked.

Which tablet press should I choose?

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. See our guide on choosing a tablet press for a small business or startup for a full breakdown.

Do all three presses use the same tooling?

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.

Can I upgrade from a manual to a motorized press later?

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.

What powder works with these presses?

Any direct-compression powder — ReadyBlend is the simplest one-bag option, or you can build a custom blend from standalone excipients. Browse all compression powders for the full lineup.
