A motorised single-punch eccentric tablet machine has been fitted with instruments to measure the forces operating during the compression cycle. Apparatus has also been designed to measure the resistance to crushing of the final compact. Sodium chloride was compressed at varying pressures and the relationship between compaction forces, ejection force, strength and voidage investigated.
