TDP-5 Tablet Press

The most capable press in the single-station line — CNC-machined, motorized, with a deeper fill depth for thicker tablets and enough force for a wider range of formulations. The usual next step once bench trials are ready to become a real production run.

Why This Model

Built for
its job.

01

CNC-Machined Build

Every part is machined to tight tolerance rather than hand-fitted, which means a longer service life and parts that are actually interchangeable between units.

02

Clear Hopper & Boot

Food-grade clear plastic on the hopper and boot lets you watch powder flow in real time, so a flow problem shows up before it becomes a batch of underweight tablets.

03

Deep Fill Depth

An 18mm fill depth leaves room for a meaningful dose of active ingredient, useful for larger or lower-potency tablets that need more mass to hit target strength.

Questions

Frequently
asked.

Why is the TDP-5 the most popular model?

It sits at the sweet spot of the line — enough force and tablet-size range for most formulations, without the footprint or cost of a rotary press.

What's the smallest batch I can test on it?

The same 200g minimum as the TDP-1.5, so you can validate a formulation before committing to a full production run.

Can it handle shaped or logo tablets?

Yes, though tuning shaped tooling takes more care than round tablets. Straightforward round tablets are the easiest starting point.

How loud is it running?

It's a motorized single-station press, so expect meaningful noise during operation — hearing protection is recommended for extended runs.

4.7 out of 5, based on 3 reviews.

★★★★★
Michael C. March 2026

Moved our formulation straight from TDP-0 bench trials to this without touching the recipe — exactly the point of the shared tooling standard.

★★★★★
Sara D. February 2026

Handles our full production run without babysitting. The clear hopper makes flow issues obvious before they become a bad batch.

★★★★☆
Ben O. December 2025

Solid machine. Would like a slightly larger hopper for longer unattended runs.
