Mid-range 19-station rotary tablet press delivering 50,000-150,000 tablets/hour with GMP-grade precision for small to mid-scale pharmaceutical production.
The YohoAI ZP-19 is a 19-station rotary tablet press engineered for small-to-mid scale pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production. With a maximum output of 150,000 tablets per hour and Type B punch compatibility, the ZP-19 delivers consistent tablet hardness and weight uniformity at a price 30-40% below comparable European models. Every unit ships with IQ/OQ/PQ validation documentation and FAT protocols. The machine features a hardened steel die table with Ra <= 0.4 um mirror finish, ensuring smooth tablet ejection and minimal sticking even with challenging formulations. The dual-layer servo feeder maintains powder fill uniformity across all 19 punch positions, achieving weight variation within +/-1-2% per USP <905> limits throughout an entire production batch. The 10-inch HMI stores 200+ compression recipes, allowing operators to recall validated compression parameters by product code and access complete batch production history for every run. The press is designed for 24/7 production environments with a reinforced main gear box and sealed bearing housings that require only quarterly lubrication under normal operating conditions.

The ZP-19 is quoted per project depending on configuration and optional upgrades. Price includes FAT protocols, IQ/OQ/PQ validation documentation, EN 10204 material certificates, and a complete operation and maintenance manual. Lead time is 30-45 days for standard configurations.
The ZP-19 produces tablet diameters from 6 mm to 16 mm using standard Type B punches. Custom punch shapes including oval, caplet, and scored tablets are available. Fill depth is adjustable up to 15 mm via the HMI touch screen with pre-stored recipes for instant recall.
The ZP-19 (19 stations) outputs up to 150,000 tablets/hour versus the ZP-35 (35 stations) at 280,000 tablets/hour. The ZP-19 is ideal for small-to-mid-scale production and R&D, while the ZP-35 suits mid-to-large commercial facilities. Both share the same cGMP design and 316L SS punch tips.
Yes. The ZP-19 is CE certified, cGMP compliant, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 ready. It ships with IQ/OQ/PQ validation documentation, FAT protocols, and EN 10204 3.1/3.2 material certificates for all product contact parts, meeting requirements for US, EU, and WHO-prequalified markets.
Yes. YohoAI's Shanghai demo facility can process your actual product or a representative formulation. We can send you filled samples for quality assessment. Demo sessions are typically arranged within 5 working days of inquiry. Video recording of the demo run is provided for internal evaluation.
Every unit is built to order, so a firm price comes from your specification, not from a catalogue. Six points decide it: target output per hour, product type (powder, granules, pellets, oil, cream), package format and size, voltage and frequency, certification and documentation package, and delivery terms. Send those six points and you receive a written offer with price, lead time and scope of supply within 24 hours. No obligation, NDA on request. Use the six-point specification form.
Standard delivery ranges from 30-90 working days depending on the model and configuration. Pharmaceutical GMP configurations with validation documentation packages require additional 5-10 working days. Expedited manufacturing is available for urgent orders at a 15-25% premium.
All YohoAI machines carry CE certification and are designed to meet cGMP and ISO9001 standards. Additional certifications including FDA compliance and specific food-grade standards are available depending on the product line and configuration.
The ZP-19 ships fully assembled with FAT protocols and IQ/OQ/PQ documentation templates. Install on a level concrete foundation with vibration dampers; connect to 380V/50Hz 3-phase power and compressed air at 0.6 MPa. Initial calibration requires running three blank tablets through each station to verify compression force uniformity. The 10-inch HMI guides operators through setup wizards including punch depth, fill depth, and turret speed initialization. A qualified technician should complete commissioning within 2 working days.
Daily maintenance begins with a pre-shift inspection of punch tips for wear or damage under magnification, checking that all 19 punch stations are seated correctly. Clean the die table and feeder with compressed air after each product run and wipe down product-contact surfaces with food-grade lubricant. Weekly tasks include verifying compression force accuracy against the HMI force calibration screen and inspecting the feeder belt tension. Monthly, check the oil level in the gearbox and inspect electrical connections. Always record all maintenance activities in the batch log for regulatory audit compliance.
Preventive maintenance schedules should be logged on the HMI maintenance screen. Replace punch tips every 80,000-120,000 tablets depending on formulation abrasiveness, using the tool-free removal system. The die table surface should be lapped and polished every 6-12 months by a qualified tooling technician. Spare parts kits including feeder belts, seals, and electrical fuses are available as annual maintenance packages. YohoAI provides remote HMI diagnostics and on-site service support for all ZP Series machines.
A mid-size contract manufacturer in Southeast Asia uses the ZP-19 to produce 50 million tablets per month across three shifts, processing a broad portfolio of generic pharmaceutical products ranging from 8 mm round unscored tablets to 12 mm caplet shapes. The machine runs approximately 4,000 hours per year with a die table re-lapping cycle every 9 months. At 36 rpm maximum turret speed, the ZP-19 delivers 150,000 tablets per hour for standard 10 mm round tablets, translating to roughly 120 kg of finished tablets per hour depending on bulk density.
An R&D laboratory at a European university pharmacy uses the ZP-19 for clinical trial material (CTM) batch production. The HMI recipe storage function allows researchers to archive exact compression parameters for each formulation, ensuring perfect reproducibility when scaling up to larger ZP-35 or ZP-45 equipment. The tool-free punch changeover is especially valued in R&D settings where formulation teams may run 3-4 different products per day. Pre-compression tuning via the HMI enables optimization of tablet capping behavior before main compression force is applied, a critical parameter for cohesive or fibrous active pharmaceutical ingredients.
