Hi Rap,
How about a real simple sollution to the problem...
Why not put a quantity of the mix into a smallish plastic bag and use a vacuum sealer...

You get to clean out the filters then
Actually Ludlow, if you could solve the filter problem it might just work......can the vacuum thingie pull the powder into a mould firmly enough to make the dust solidify?

Hi Toddy,
If a long thin bag was used it should be possible to have the powder at the bottom and the vacuum at the top, then seal close to the powder cut above and restart the process for the next...it has to be easier than making tablets, if not it is certainly quicker...

Hi Folks,
Some more info on vacuum sealing powder in small bags...
there are LOTS of tricks for vac packing powdery foods.
If it's not too powdery, a paper towel folded over the top of the food will usually suffice. If it's still sucks an annoying amount of powder, here's what you do.
Grocery stores carry cheapo bags called bread bags. They're thin, and are open at the top, no closure. You just put the annoying food in the bread bag, fold or twist it loosely, and shove it in upside down in your vac bag. By the time the powder starts to work its way out of the bread bag, you are already finished vaccing.

Okay, break out the recipes again
Actually, it's Barleycup that's gone rock solid in the jar that's causing me grief just now. It's like trying to chisel out concrete grout
