    My pressed powder is okay in the lab setting; but when I press it in the factory it swells up and breaks down. what might be the problem?! :-(

    Are you using the same press?

    Is your lab air conditioned and the factory isn’t? (Humidity)
    It’s usually very difficult for us to answer questions with such little information.

    Both sites are air conditioned. Can humidity affect it so much? What other information you may need?

    The lab one is a small one to make prototypes. The one for production is automated filling powder pressing etc. Quite different. @Perry
