Capping issues in tablet development? It might not be your formulation — it could be overcompression.
Many teams push compression force higher to “be safe”… but that’s often where problems begin.
👉 Excessive densification
👉 Elastic recovery after pressure release
👉 Result: capping, lamination, wasted batches
So how do you see this coming before it becomes a problem? 💡 By using the Heckel Plot module on RoTab® tablet presses, you gain real insight into powder densification behavior: Identify the optimal compression window Detect the transition from plastic deformation to overcompression Prevent structural stress that leads to capping Instead of trial-and-error, you move toward data-driven compression design. Because better tablets don’t come from higher force — they come from understanding the material. Trusted by industry leaders like DFE Pharma - are you leveraging the same insights yet? #TabletDevelopment #PharmaEngineering #RoTab #ProcessOptimization #SolidDosage #HeckelPlot
