PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tablet manufacturing device capable of efficiently manufacturing tablets in a uniform shape.SOLUTION: A plurality of powder holding cylinders 8 for which a moist powder is filled and held in the inside are arrayed at an interval larger than the outer diameter. A table 2 with a plurality of mold cavities 4 of the same diameter as the inner diameter of the powder holding cylinder 7 on positions opposite to the lower part of the respective powder holding cylinders 8 is provided. The moist powder W is extruded from the inside of the powder holding cylinder 8 to the mold cavity 4 opposite to the powder holding cylinder 8 by a filling rod 12 and is pressurized and filled inside the mold cavity. The powder holding cylinder 8 and the table 2 are relatively moved by a moving means and the moist powder W in the mold cavity 4 is sheared by the distal end edge of the powder holding cylinder 8. When the powder holding cylinder is positioned within each interval of the mold cavities adjacent to each other, the powder holding cylinder 8 is separated from the table 2 by an elevating/lowering means.COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT【課題】均一な形状の錠剤を効率よく製造することができる錠剤製造装置を提供する。【解決手段】内部に湿潤粉体を詰め込み保持する複数の粉体保持筒8を、その外径より大なる間隔を存して配列して設ける。粉体保持筒8の内径と同径の複数の型穴4を各粉体保持筒8の下方に対向する位置に備えるテーブル2を設ける。粉体保持筒8に対向する型穴4に粉体保持筒8の内部から湿潤粉体Wを充填ロッド12で押し出して型穴の内部に加圧充填する。粉体保持筒8及びテーブル2を移動手段により相対移動させ、粉体保持筒8の先端縁により型穴4の湿潤粉体Wを擦り切る。粉体保持筒が互いに隣り合う型穴の各間隔内に位置したとき、昇降手段により粉体保持筒8をテーブル2から離間させる。【選択図】図4
