The flaker belt relates to a rotary pelleting machine and method for producing a multilayer tablet. The dies are filled with a material to be pressed via at least one feed shoe and, depending on the angular position of the rotor, the bottom plungers and top plungers, which are guided via guide tracks, move axially with respect to the dies. The bottom and top plungers pass at least one pressing station, typically a pre-pressing station and a main pressing station.

Pellet machine is known which can be used to produce so-called multilayer tablets, i.e., tablets containing several layers or inserts. Several feed devices and pressing stations are sequentially arranged along the periphery of the rotor.

The rotor must therefore have a correspondingly large circumference which depends on the number of layers or inserts. Consequently, a rotary granulator requires a large installation space.
