Tablet Thickness
Sometimes you will need to adjust the tablets' thickness so that the pressure level relative to the fill
is high, which results in creating a solid tablet.
Tools and Materials Needed
• Disposable latex/rubber gloves (for food grade products and to protect hands from grease)
• Hairnet and/or beard net (food grade products only)
• Sterile shoe covers (food grade products only)
Instructions
Note: Wear latex/rubber gloves (and appropriate food grade attire if applicable) during this process.
1. Produce test tablets to determine how the machine should be adjusted.
2. Turn the leftmost most innerknob counterclockwise to unlock the pressure adjustment knob.
3. Rotate the leftmost knob on the console to change the tablet thickness.
3.1 Note: To make tablets thinner rotate the knob counterclockwise (increase punch
pressure). To make tablets thicker, rotate the knob clockwise (decrease punch pressure).
4. Turn the leftmost innerknob clockwise to lock the pressure adjustment knob.
WARNING:
To prevent any potential personal injury, unplug the RTP 10i® from
the electrical outlet.
CAUTION:
If the punch pressure is increased too much, the machine will
automatically cut off and show an error message on the display. Simply
decrease the punch pressure to to get the machine running again.
