  1. Final batch sieving from # 20
  2. Check the moisture should be b/w 1.5 to 3.
  3. Add dry Binder
  4. Increase Dwell Time by Flattened the Head surface of Punch.
  5. Use Tapered Dies, i.e, upper part of the die bore has an outward taper of 3 degree to 5 degree.
  6. Use Special Take-off.
  7. Use Pre- Compression step.
  8. Reduce Turret Speed.
  9. Reduce the final compression pressure.

Take-off Plates or Take-off blades are fitted just above the feeder housing. Their main role is to deflect the fully compressed tablets into the discharge chute.
