Industrial Tablet Press Machines: Precision Solutions for Pharma & Chemicals
Compression Technology, Coating Solutions, Quality Assurance Systems.
Perforated pan coating system pharma.
LOCUS GROUP delivers complete GMP-validated tablet manufacturing solutions — from granulation to coated finished products. Our systems serve pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and veterinary industries with precision engineering meeting global regulatory standards.
LOCUS PHARM delivers specialized tableting machinery for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and industrial applications. We engineer, install, and validate tablet presses for diverse formats—from micro-tablets to large-diameter compacts.
Our tablet presses transform powdered formulations into uniform tablets through advanced compression technology. Key components include:
Custom Punches & Dies: High-wear tooling crafted from AISI 420C stainless steel (HRC 58-62), with ≤5µm tolerance for exact tablet geometry, engraving, or scoring.
Modular Tool Stations: Configure 1 to 75+ punch stations for outputs from 100 to 1,000,000+ tablets/hour.

Precision Compression:
Our servo-controlled rotary presses maintain ±1% weight variation — exceeding USP <1217> requirements for critical APIs.
Coating Innovation:
Airflow-controlled coating pans achieve RSD ≤1% for functional films — essential for modified-release formulations.
Efficiency Gains:
Reduce changeover time to 20 minutes with tool-less punch changes — 5X faster than conventional systems.
