The regulations concern any manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic equipment which may be used for the compaction or molding of powdered or granular solids, or semi-solid material, to produce coherent solid tablets.

If the device in question is non-functional, I would dispute the "may be used for" requirement of the definition.

My IANAL understanding is that the "may be used for" is interpreted quite liberally when it comes to these sorts of laws.

After all, you could sell a perfectly functional pill press with a single crucial $.02 screw missing and accurately call it "non functional"
