Premium Tablet Tooling Solutions
High-Performance Tablet Compression Tooling
Designed specifically for rigorous pharmaceutical OSD manufacturing environments. Our cost-effective punches and dies for the RoTab® series deliver exceptional precision, consistent tablet quality, and extended tool life. Optimized for maximum productivity and reliability, our compression components ensure seamless compatibility with leading R&D tablet press systems and small-batch production lines.
Special Tools & Steel Selection
The foundation of every high- performance punch and die begins with the right steel.
Our carefully selected range of premium and standard steels ensures unmatched durability, precision, and reliability for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, veterinary, confectionery, and specialty tablet applications.
Case Study: Smarter Material, Smarter Coating, Smarter Results
Challenge: High Tool Wear in Large-Scale Tablet Production
A pharmaceutical manufacturer running large batch sizes was experiencing frequent tablet tooling wear, rising replacement costs, and reduced production efficiency. The client was using OHNS MOC steel for their tablet compression tooling, which led to accelerated wear, increased downtime, and inconsistent performance in high-volume production.
Solution: Premium Tool Steel & Advanced Coating Strategy
After a detailed material and process consultation with our engineering experts, we recommended switching to premium S7 tool steel, a high-toughness material offering superior wear resistance and extended service life.
To further enhance durability and performance, we applied a CrN (Chromium Nitride) coating, improving surface hardness, reducing friction, and increasing resistance to mechanical and chemical wear.
Our solution included:
• Material optimization based on production volume
• Advanced surface coating for longer tool life
• Precision engineering tailored to the customer’s tablet press setup
Results: Higher Efficiency, Lower Costs, Longer Tool Life
The upgrade delivered measurable performance improvements and significant cost savings:
Key Outcomes
• 2× increase in production efficiency
• Significant reduction in tooling wear and replacement costs
• Lower downtime, improving machine availability and throughput
• Reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) through extended tool lifetime
• More stable tablet quality across long production runs
