pill press

Compacts powder solidly

A pill press is a machine that compresses powder into tablets.

Pharmaceutical companies use industrial pill presses to manufacture medications.

The term also refers to smaller devices used to produce counterfeit pills—pressing fentanyl or other substances into forms resembling legitimate pharmaceuticals: Police seized a pill press and thousands of fake oxycodone tablets.
