SET-UP

Proper tablet press set-up can maximize tool life and produce consistent, robust tablets. If presses are incorrectly set up, tablet defects like capping and weight variations, as well as severe damage to tooling, turrets, and other parts of the press can occur.

SUPPORT EQUIPMENT

Support tablet production with a variety of auxiliary products that keep tablet presses in good working order and ensure tablets meet quality standards. Dedusters and industrial vacuums maintain tablet quality and press performance by removing dust from tablets and presses. Metal detectors identify contamination caused by mixing-process errors or machinery failures.

CLEANING

Clean tools are critical to producing quality tablets, while a lack of cleanliness is the leading cause for tablet press failure, insufficient tablet quality, and discoloration (black specks).

 CLEANING

INSPECTION

Tablet production is stressful on punches and dies. Extending tool life saves operating costs and produces high-quality tablets. Consistent tool inspection procedures help you know when your tools are worn. Using the correct inspection equipment is an important step to increase tablet quality and reduce tooling costs.

INSPECTION

POLISHING

Properly polished tools provide consistent tablet quality and peak press performance all while maximizing tool life. The Natoli Polishing Station works great for solving tableting issues such as picking, sticking, capping and lamination, reducing J-hook and restoring the critical punch tip land. Natoli’s Automated Polishing Machine allows unattended operation and provides a high-chrome finish to tooling.

LUBRICANTS

Our lubricants are engineered to maximize tool life and minimize maintenance costs by providing superior protection. A tool that is not properly lubricated will cause excessive friction and lead to emergency stops, tool binding, and tool damage.

STORAGE SOLUTIONS

Tooling wear and damage caused by mishandling may cause black specks and product discoloration as well as capping, lamination, and other visual tablet defects. A systematic storage and handling procedure allows you to safely store and protect punches and dies. We can also create customized storage solutions for your unique tool configurations!
