Tablet: Round

Tooling Type: B Type

Press type: GEA Courtoy Modul S

Problem: The customer had severe abrasion on the tooling when compressing and they came to I Holland to try and extend their tooling’s life. Their aim for this project was to have a set of tooling that would last a minimum of 100,000,000 tablets.

Solution: We offered a coating trial including the RS coating. The customer inspected the tooling after every batch. The RS (Resilient Surface) coating has a distinctive silver blue-coloured coating with superb wear-resistant properties and good corrosion resistance owing to its very hard surface layer.

Success: The outcome was fantastic and met their expectation with the RS coating. 24 batches (96 million tablets) were made, and after thorough inspection, the tip face was still in good condition.
