Both carbide and ceramic lined dies have an insert that is bonded into an outer steel casing, but each type comes with its own set of benefits.

Carbide Lined Dies

  • Recommended with abrasive granulations
  • Work well for nutraceutical applications
  • Provide a high level of wear resistance during the compression of abrasive products
  • Increase die life by more than 10 times due to their wear liner

Ceramic Lined Dies

  • Recommended for corrosive products
  • Reduce the coefficient of friction throughout tablet compression cycles
  • Available for round and shaped tablets
  • Include a wear liner that prevents them from wearing
  • Increase die life by 5-10 times
 

Our lined dies are manufactured for excellent tooling efficiency, durability and performance.

Our Carbide and Ceramic lined dies are manufactured to the same tolerances and finishes as our standard steel dies. And the steel used for their casing is of the same, trusted quality.

This means that our lined dies are made from steel that is:

  • Quarantined and tested accordingly
  • Held to Natoli quality standards
  • Treated with our computerized vacuum internal quench heat-treating systems

These processes ensure our batch-to-batch consistency always meets what you’ve come to expect from Natoli Engineering.
