Patent ID: 7294837

Claim:
Tablets press with integral measuring device for the determination of the quantitative content of at least one substance in a pressed tablet, comprising: at least one radiation source, which emits radiation in the near infrared range, for irradiating the tablet; a radiation receiving device, which is contained in a measuring head ( 5 ) and receives the radiation reflected by the tablet; a spectrometer for receiving the radiation from the radiation receiving device and for supplying an output signal according to the intensity of the received radiation at a number of different wavelengths; and a device for the quantitative determination of the content of at least one substance contained in the tablet and/or for the determination of the ratios of all or some contained components based on the output signal; wherein the measuring device is suitable for measuring each single pressed tablet and the trigger times of the measurements are correlated with the conveying speed of the tablets press.
