Ensuring tablet punches and dies are kept in optimum condition to produce high quality tablets is critical for your productivity and Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE). This will also give you, your customers, auditors and regulators peace of mind by ensuring full compliance and traceability.

Unfortunately tablet compression tools have often been viewed as consumable items and maintenance can be seen as unnecessary and time consuming. This is a false assumption that can be costly. Keeping your tooling in good working condition reduces tablet press downtime and compression problems.  The vast majority of punch and die problems can be conclusively traced back to poor handling and maintenance procedures.
