Analysis of the effect of compression force of compression machine on weights and hardness of ELT tablets at Cipla Quality Chemical industries limited.

Abstract

By increasing the magnitude of the compression force, tablets have been produced from granules . The hardness and the weights of the tablets have been studied using standard methods. Thus the effect of compression forces on tablet hardness and weights have been investigated. The result points out that the compression pressurae has an intense effect on the hardness, but does not significantly affect the weight. Tablet hardness increases with increase in compression force.
