Abstract

The invention concerns a coated-core press for making coated tablets. In prior art coated-core presses, the problem arises of centering the cores exactly in the powder undercoating in the matrix, particularly when the matrix table is rotating at high speed. In order to solve this problem, a device for picking up and transferring the cores (9) is arranged on the lower side of the vertically adjustable core die (31) and comprises gripping devices which pick up the cores in the pick-up station (60) and press them into the center of the underlayer of powder material formed inside the corresponding matrix (3).
