A machine for the production of a solid dosage form, said machine comprising: (a) a die block having one or more forming cavities each having an inner wall, a first opening at the surface of one side of said die block, and a second opening at the surface on the opposite side of said die block; (b) one or more first dosing nozzles adapted to both measure an amount of a first powder blend and discharge said measured amount of said first powder blend within one of said one or more forming cavity; (c) one or more second dosing nozzles adapted to both measure an amount of a second powder blend and discharge said measured amount of said second powder blend within one of said one or more forming cavity; (d) one or more first forming tools each adapted to move into one of said cavities through the first opening of said forming cavity; (e) one or more second forming tools each adapted to move adjacent to one of said second openings or into one of said cavities through the second opening of said forming cavity; (f) at least one first RF electrode (341, 460) operably associated with said one or more first forming tools, said one or more second forming tools, or said inner wall of said one or more forming cavities; and (g) at least one second RF electrode (340, 461) operably associated with said one or more first forming tools, said one or more second forming tools, or said inner wall of said one or more forming cavities; wherein said machine is adapted to form a dosage form between a first forming tool and a second forming tool within a forming cavity and wherein said first RF electrode and said second RF electrode are arranged within said machine such that when RF energy is applied between said first RF electrode and said second RF electrode, said RF energy passes through the portion of said forming cavity adapted to form said dosage form; wherein said one or more first dosing nozzles are adapted to measure an amount of said first powder blend using negative pressure and said one or more second dosing nozzles are adapted to measure an amount of said second powder blend using negative pressure; and wherein said one or more first dosing nozzles are adapted to discharge said measured amount of said first powder blend using positive pressure and said one or more second dosing nozzles are adapted to discharge said measured amount of said second powder blend using positive pressure. (a) a die block having one or more forming cavities each having an inner wall, a first opening at the surface of one side of said die block, and a second opening at the surface on the opposite side of said die block; (b) one or more first dosing nozzles adapted to both measure an amount of a first powder blend and discharge said measured amount of said first powder blend within one of said one or more forming cavity; (c) one or more second dosing nozzles adapted to both measure an amount of a second powder blend and discharge said measured amount of said second powder blend within one of said one or more forming cavity; (d) one or more first forming tools each adapted to move into one of said cavities through the first opening of said forming cavity; (e) one or more second forming tools each adapted to move adjacent to one of said second openings or into one of said cavities through the second opening of said forming cavity; (f) at least one first RF electrode (341, 460) operably associated with said one or more first forming tools, said one or more second forming tools, or said inner wall of said one or more forming cavities; and (g) at least one second RF electrode (340, 461) operably associated with said one or more first forming tools, said one or more second forming tools, or said inner wall of said one or more forming cavities; wherein said machine is adapted to form a dosage form between a first forming tool and a second forming tool within a forming cavity and wherein said first RF electrode and said second RF electrode are arranged within said machine such that when RF energy is applied between said first RF electrode and said second RF electrode, said RF energy passes through the portion of said forming cavity adapted to form said dosage form; wherein said one or more first dosing nozzles are adapted to measure an amount of said first powder blend using negative pressure and said one or more second dosing nozzles are adapted to measure an amount of said second powder blend using negative pressure; and wherein said one or more first dosing nozzles are adapted to discharge said measured amount of said first powder blend using positive pressure and said one or more second dosing nozzles are adapted to discharge said measured amount of said second powder blend using positive pressure.
