Tablet Press Tooling

Stokes’s tablet press tooling is made from high-quality, heat-treated steel offers the strength and durability needed for demanding production environments. A variety of advanced coatings can be applied to enhance surface hardness, reduce wear, and improve resistance to corrosion and sticking. These coatings also lower friction, helping to prevent punch seizure and extend tooling life.

For certain applications, like household chemical tablets, plastic inserts can be used to protect the punch tip. Whether producing standard tablets or more challenging types like effervescent tablets, this tooling ensures precise tablet formation, consistent quality, and lower maintenance costs.

At Stokes, we understand that punches and dies are essential components in the tableting process, directly influencing the appearance, dimensions, and quality of the final product. Our Tooling is crafted from the finest steel, undergoing rigorous heat treatment and enhanced with specialized coatings to prevent wear and sticking in tablet press machines.

Stokes offers a range of unique coatings to extend tool life and improve performance, including galvanic chrome, PVD, CrN, TiN, TiAlN, and DLC. These advanced coatings provide benefits such as enhanced wear resistance, reduced friction, and minimized punch seizure, ensuring optimal functionality and longevity. Each coating is tailored to address specific tableting challenges, from handling abrasive materials to achieving smoother operation in high-pressure environments.

Designed to meet the highest standards of tablet production, Stokes Tooling delivers durability, precision, and efficiency. Our tools help manufacturers tackle every tableting challenge, ensuring consistent quality and performance in modern tablet making machinery.

Advanced Coatings for Tablet Press Tooling

  • Galvanic Chrome is an electroplated coating that provides a smooth finish and solid wear resistance, commonly used in standard tablet production.

  • PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) forms a thin, hard metal layer that boosts wear resistance and thermal stability.

  • CrN (Chromium Nitride) is a PVD coating that increases surface hardness and resists corrosion, making it useful for sticky or abrasive powders.

  • TiN (Titanium Nitride) is a gold-colored PVD coating that reduces friction, prevents sticking, and extends tooling life.

  • TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride) is a high-performance PVD coating that withstands more heat and wear, ideal for tough or high-speed applications.

  • DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) is a premium PVD coating with very low friction and extreme hardness, best for abrasive or aggressive formulations.
