Tablet tooling
Company manufactures in-house, offering new, refurbished,
and custom tablet tooling, including multi-tip punches that
increase production without increasing number of machines,
shifts, setups, or runs. Company also applies coatings and
heat treatments on-site without extending lead times. Other
products include cleaning instruments, die lock screws, dust
and grease cups, and storage boxes and cabinets. Services
include engineering, polishing, and troubleshooting.

Capsule tooling
Nedox-coated tooling and change parts for high-speed,
tamping-style capsule fillers don't chip, flake, or peel. Self-
lubricating coating is molecularly bonded and minimizes fric-
tion to prevent powders and pellets from sticking to dosing
discs, tamping pins, segments, or pellet dosing chambers.
Company also offers operator training, troubleshooting,
rebuilding service, and maintenance.

Compression tooling
Alloyed steel and tungsten carbide compression tooling
resists wear and corrosion and is compatible with WIP sys-
tems. Turret segments with integral die holes eliminate con-
ventional dies and die tables, increase output by more than
40 percent, and reduce product loss and refitting times. FS
punches feature enlarged, mirror-polished heads that increase
dwell time by 30 percent or more and reduce wear compared
to EU 19 punches. Tooling coatings include hard chrome,
PVD chrome, chrome nitride, and titanium nitride.

Tablet tooling
Company manufactures standard TSM and EU punches and
dies to fit all tablet presses, as well as multi-tip and unusually
shaped tooling. For new projects, design engineers help you
specify tablet shape, size, and embossing. They also use finite
element analysis to determine tooling's maximum recom-
mended compression force. Tooling lead time is 3 to 4 weeks
and etching is complimentary. Materials include S7 and other
steels with mirror finish.
