The Lower Drift Pin Assembly is the long, silver, threaded bar that houses the lower punch die pin.
There are a various issues that often arise with Lower Drift Pin Assembly's that cause it to be replaced.
These are usually due to the cogs and Lower Drift Pin Assembly not being greased properly.
Common issues with the Lower Drift Pin Assembly
Firstly, pins can get stuck in the lower Drift Pin Assembly, this is most commonly caused when the lower punch die is slightly to big or if excipients have built up around the pin. If this is the case you may need to remove the lower drift pin to try and force the lower punch die out. If you arent able to prise it out, you will need to replace both the lower drift pin assembly and the bottom die. The easiest way to remove the Lower Drift Pin Assembly is through the hole on the base of the pill press. Do this by winding the two cogs up the lower Drift Pin Assembly until it is free from them.
Secondly it is the fill depth/ejection height cogs getting jammed on Lower Drift Pin Assembly (ususal due to threading). If this happens you will need to use an angle grinder to chop out the old Lower Drift Pin Assembly.
Due to being unable to set the fill depth or ejection height of your machine, your research or production will be at a standstill.
