Punch Pressure
Sometimes tablets come out too soft and will crumble easily, which happens often after increasing
the fill depth. Or, the machine can jam and will not be able to turn over. To correct this, the punch
pressure needs to be adjusted in order to increase the tablet’s firmness/de-jam the machine.
