Tablet Press Tooling - Die & Punch

Precise Perfect Finish Tablet Press Tooling

Application & Process :

ACE Punches and dies are manufactured in-house with state of art machines. The raw material used in the production of tablets is compressed by a pressure of several tons on a small area of a few square millimeters, to produce a visually perfect tablet. There fore the Tablet press tooling is required harder and smoother and good finish surface. Prism has developed an advance technological system especially for manufacturing of precise, perfect and finished tablet tools.

Salient Features :

• Choice for material of construction of Die and Punch- 
  1. OHNS (T) Oil Hardened Non shrinking steel (Tungsten) - AISI 01
  2. HCHC - High carbon High chromium steel - AISI D3
• Tooling size as per EURO, IPT Standards and Special tooling.
• Can be manufactured any shape of the tooling.
• Can be manufactured Multi tips and Polo type tooling.
• Careful matching of material and hardness.
• Trouble free fitting and removal
• Manufactured to the smallest tolerances.
• High Precision finish.

• Tooling Set

  A single tooling set comprises of upper punch, lower punch and die. These punches move vertically in turret bores through cams and compress to form a tablet.

  As per international standards, i.e. TSM (Tablet Specification Manual) and EU

  (Euro Standard), tooling specs have been standardized so that inventories worldwide can be minimized for tablet presses. All international manufacturers follow EU standards and TSM standards mostly followed in the United States of America and in Japan.

  Upper punch: Upper punch is fitted in the turret bore and moves vertically in bores during compression. Upper punches make the upper cavity of the tablet. It is fitted with key for alignment with die bore in case of shape punches. For round punches, there is no need of key in upper punches. Upper Punches travels 5-6mm inside the die bore during compression and as per the penetration setting done in a compression machine. Tip Length is shorter in the upper punch compared to the lower punch. Tip length of upper punch is generally 8mm-9mm.

  Lower punch: The lower punch is fitted in the turret bore and makes the lower cavity of the tablet during compression. Lower punch tip always stays inside the die bore hence there is no need of key in case of lower punch. Tip length is relatively longer in the lower punch as it has to cover the entire height of die and eject the tablet. The lower punch tip length is 25-28mm.

  Die: Die is fitted in the die plate. Die bore in die is actually where the filling of powder is done. Upper punch tip and lower punch tip compresses the powder in the die bore with the help of compression roller pressure applied on the head flat during compression to make the required shape of the tablet.

  Tooling Types

  There are different types of tooling i.e. D, DB, B and BB types. Apart from these standard types, there are FS tooling, BBS tooling, A tooling and Chinese standard tools which are totally different than International standard tools.
