Engineered for an optimal output of around 10,000 tablets per hour, it is a reliable and efficient choice for entry-level production.
Every rotary tablet press in our range is designed around three principles: stable compression quality, minimal downtime, and effortless compliance. Here is what sets our machines apart on the production floor.
PLC touch screens, centralized control panels, and auto-lubrication systems reduce operator workload, extend die and punch life, and safeguard long-term machine reliability.
Compatible with widely used punch and die configurations (including 10D, 14B, and 17-die replacements), making tooling sourcing and changeover simple wherever you are in the world.
Round, inscribed, irregular, bi-layer, ring, and two-color shaped tablets — one rotary tablet press platform covers the full spectrum of pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, candy, and chemical tableting needs.
Maximum pressures of up to 100KN combined with pre-compression functionality ensure dense, uniform tablets with consistent hardness and weight — even with difficult or sticky formulations.
Wherever powder becomes a tablet, Grand Machinery is on the line.
High-speed, GMP-ready tablet production for prescription drugs, generic medicines, and herbal formulations with strict weight and hardness consistency.
Vitamin, mineral, and supplement tableting including bi-layer and combination tablets, from pilot batches to mass production.
Pressing for candy tablets, effervescent formats, seasoning tablets, and food-grade compression applications.
Fertilizer pellets, detergent tablets, catalyst and electronic material pressing with durable tooling for abrasive powders.
Choosing the right tablet compression technology is the first step to an efficient line. Here is how rotary machines compare with single punch presses.
| Dimension | Rotary Tablet Press | Single Punch Tablet Press |
| Production capacity | 10,000–198,000 tablets/hour | Typically under 6,000 tablets/hour |
| Turret tooling | Multiple punch stations (5–55 dies) | Single punch & die set |
| Output consistency | High — dual compression & weight control | Lower, more operator-dependent |
| Best suited for | Pilot to full-scale production | R&D, lab, very small batches |
| Typical users | Pharmaceutical, supplement, food & chemical plants | Laboratories, universities, startups |
Still deciding? Send us your target output and tablet specification — our engineers will match you with the right machine within 24 hours.
Five specification checks that make or break your investment. Run through this list before you request a quote.
Match hourly capacity to your demand: under 15,000 tablets/hour → ZP130; 20,000–40,000 → ZP168/ZP200; 100,000+ → ZPT420 series. Always size for 20–30% headroom.
Confirm maximum tablet diameter (13mm–28mm across our range) and whether you need inscribed, bi-layer, ring, or shaped tablets — tooling and press configuration depend on it.
Sticky, hygroscopic, or hard-to-compress powders benefit from pre-compression (ZP200) and higher pressure ratings (up to 100KN on ZPT420).
Pharmaceutical buyers should specify GMP-compliant stainless contact parts, dust extraction, and PLC data interfaces at inquiry stage, not after delivery.
Choose internationally standard tooling (IPT/D, 10D, 14B) so replacements are easy to source, and confirm spare parts availability before signing.

Considering a rotary tablet press for your production line? Below are the questions buyers ask us most — answered by our engineers. For anything more specific, our team is one message away.
A rotary tablet press is a mechanical tablet compression machine that uses a rotating turret carrying multiple punches and dies. As the turret rotates, granular material is filled into the dies, pre-compressed, then main-compressed into solid tablets — producing thousands of tablets per hour with consistent weight and hardness. Compared with single-punch presses, rotary models offer far higher output and smoother continuous production.
Our range covers 10,000 to 198,000 tablets per hour depending on the model and tooling configuration. The entry-level ZP130 produces around 10,000 tablets/hour, mid-range models like the ZP168 and ZPT226 deliver 20,000–40,000 tablets/hour, and the high-capacity ZPT420 reaches up to 198,000 tablets/hour.
Our machines handle round, inscribed, irregular, ring, bi-layer, and two-color shaped tablets across pharmaceuticals, supplements, candy, food, chemical, and electronic materials. Model availability varies by tablet diameter — from 13mm on the ZP130 up to 28mm on ZP200-series configurations.
As a guideline: R&D and small batches start with the ZP130; growing manufacturers typically choose the ZP168 or ZP200; large-scale pharmaceutical production suits the ZP31D and ZPT420. Tell us your target output, tablet diameter, and formulation, and our engineers will recommend the optimal configuration within 24 hours.
Yes. We supply tooling in international standard configurations (including 10D, 14B, and IPT/D type tooling) and can customize punch tips, dies, and inscriptions to your tablet shape, logo, and size requirements.
Every Grand Machinery rotary tablet press ships with operation manuals and video guidance, and we provide remote installation support and operator training. Spare parts are stocked for fast global shipping, and our engineering team offers lifetime technical support.
