Upgrade Your Tablet Press for Efficiency With regular maintenance, tablet presses can last for many years. However, it’s still essential to modernize your equipment when upgrades become available. If you’re looking to improve your factory’s efficiency or if you frequently battle press-based issues with things like “sticking” it may be time to consider an upgrade. […]

Creating a bi-layer tablet involves compressing two formulations into a single solid oral tablet. The process maintains a physical separation of the formulations by layering one on top of the other. It allows for the controlled delivery of a single or multiple active pharmaceutical ingredients in a single tablet. Bi-layer manufacturing is especially beneficial if one of the layers provides an immediate release and the other layer has a sustained release delivery.
