Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ZP-35 rotary tablet press price?

The ZP-35 typically ranges from USD 28,000 to USD 55,000 depending on configuration and optional upgrades such as the weighbridge system, hardness tester, or soundproof enclosure. Standard configurations ship within 30-45 days. Price is 30-40% below comparable European brands with equivalent performance.

What is the production capacity of the ZP-35 in tablets per hour?

The ZP-35 produces up to 280,000 tablets per hour at maximum turret speed of 46 rpm with 35 stations. At typical production settings (30-35 rpm), output is approximately 180,000-230,000 tablets/hour, balancing throughput with tablet quality and die wear.

What certifications does the ZP-35 hold for pharmaceutical production?

The ZP-35 is CE certified, cGMP compliant, FDA 21 CFR Part 11 ready, and ISO 9001:2015 certified. Every machine includes IQ/OQ/PQ validation documentation, FAT protocols, EN 10204 3.1/3.2 material certificates for all 316L SS product contact parts, and a complete operation and maintenance manual.

Can the ZP-35 handle large tablets or deep-fill formulations?

Yes. The standard ZP-35 handles tablet diameters of 6-20 mm with a maximum fill depth of 17 mm. The deep-fill model extends fill depth to 22 mm for larger tablets or low-density formulations. Type D punches are available for tablets up to 25 mm diameter.

Can I see a sample before purchasing?

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.

What is the price of this machine?

Pricing varies by configuration and accessories. Please send us your specific requirements including production capacity needs, tube/can/capsule format, and required certifications. We typically respond within 2 hours with CIF/CFR/FOB pricing.

What is the delivery time?

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.

What certifications does this machine carry?

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.

Installation, Setup & Maintenance Guide

The ZP-35 arrives pre-assembled and requires a level, vibration-damped foundation (minimum 1,500 kg/m2 concrete). Connect to 380V/50Hz 3-phase power and 0.6 MPa clean compressed air. Commissioning includes HMI initialization of all 35 compression stations, force calibration verification, and a blank-run tablet test across all punches. The closed-loop force control system must be calibrated at two reference points using the HMI calibration wizard. FAT protocols verify machine performance before factory acceptance. Full commissioning by a YohoAI technician typically takes 2-3 working days.

Pre-shift inspection of all 35 punch tips is mandatory before every production run. The dual-layer servo feeder should be checked for belt tension and alignment using the feeder calibration menu on the HMI. After each product run, purge the feeder chamber and clean all product-contact surfaces with food-grade sanitizer and lint-free wipers. The die table must be inspected for scratches or scoring that could affect tablet release. Record all inspections in the HMI maintenance log. For potent or hazardous formulations, use dedicated tooling to avoid cross-contamination during changeover.

A quarterly preventive maintenance program extends machine life and ensures consistent tablet quality. Check the compression roll bearings for wear every 3 months using the vibration analysis port on the HMI. Replace feeder belts every 6 months or 2,000 operating hours. The touch screen HMI should have its operating system backed up quarterly via the USB port. Spare parts including punch tips, seals, and feeder belts should be stocked based on production volume. YohoAI offers annual service contracts that include on-site technician visits and priority remote diagnostics via the Ethernet-connected HMI.

Maintenance Checklist

  • Inspect all 35 punch tips for wear, chips, or contamination before each production shift
  • Run feeder calibration on HMI and verify servo motor alignment before starting a new product
  • Clean dual-layer feeder, die table, and punch tips after every product changeover
  • Verify compression force accuracy on both pre-compression and main compression rolls monthly
  • Check feeder belt tension and replace if cracking or excessive slack is detected
  • Export HMI batch logs and maintenance records via USB or Ethernet after every production run
  • Schedule annual service inspection including compression roll bearing check and gearbox oil change
