Round tablet supplement OEM manufacturing

Round tablet supplement manufacturing occupies a large proportion in the commissioned production of tablet candies and effervescent solid beverages. In particular, tablets of medicinal and edible traditional Chinese medicine powders or extracts produced by source manufacturers, and conventional deep-curved or shallow-curved round tablets are the first choice for health food OEM projects such as chewable tablets, lozenges or swallowable tablets.

What are the classifications of round tablet supplement processing?

A part of a circle is called an arc. If the two sides of the arc are brought closer to make it smaller than the normal arc, it is called a deep arc. Otherwise, it is called a shallow arc. According to the angle of the edges of the circular tablets, circular tablets can also be divided into two types: deep arc tablets and shallow arc tablets. And different options will directly affect the use of subsequent coating processes.

1. Deep-curved tablets: The edges are sharp and angular. Most of the products are plain tablets. They are not film-coated and directly reflect the original smell, taste and color of the ingredients mixed in the formula.

2. Shallow arc tablets: The edges of the tablets are smooth and have no obvious edges and corners. They are not prone to edge damage during mutual friction and collision, and are suitable for coating processes.

The above are two categories according to the appearance of the product. They can also be divided into four categories according to the way of use: chewable tablets, swallowable tablets, buccal tablets, and effervescent tablets. No matter what type of product, the tableting process is the same. The difference is the proportion of excipient ingredients, the difference in taste and flavor, and the process used in the later stage. For example, tablets in the compressed candy category can be plain tablets or coated tablets, but do not use effervescent disintegrants that can produce carbon dioxide gas.

Introduction to health food tablet processing

1. Tablet specification range: 0.15-4g/tablet. Among them, effervescent tablets are mostly of tablet weight specifications above 2g, and most of them are deep-arc tablet types. Products in the tableting candy category should mostly choose specifications between 0.15-1g/piece.

2. Tablet shape selection: The selection of tablet shapes for swallowing tablets is mainly round, oval, etc., which are more conventional. The shape of the product has less edges and corners, making it easier to swallow. Other types are more flexible to choose from, such as heart-shaped, olive-shaped, drop-shaped, oblong, etc., as well as various personalized customized sheet shapes with brand patterns or text. Especially for chewable tablets and buccal tablets, most investors pay special attention to the appearance.

3. Tablet packaging styles: bottling, bagging, and blister pressing are all commonly used internal packaging solutions in food tablet processing projects. Among them, effervescent tablet products must be packaged in special barrel bottles. Because effervescent tablets not only have a large weight and diameter, but are also significantly larger in diameter than other products, and are extremely hygroscopic, once other packaging styles are used, they are prone to fragments and moisture absorption.
