Tablet Tooling Expert Provides Design Support from R&D to Production

As an industry-leading tooling manufacturer with a strong international presence, Natoli Engineering Company provides punches and dies to customers all over the world. The company understands the intimate relationship between powder and tooling and that tablet design is crucial to the quality of the tablet, efficiency of the process and customer acceptance of the product.

Natoli has found that communication is the key to proper tablet design and new product success.

The company’s design engineers can work with the customer’s teams throughout the product development process — from marketing and R&D through production — to ensure product and production concerns are carefully evaluated. Whether the tablet shape is simple or complex, Natoli can help design a tablet that will successfully avoid common issues such as capping, lamination, sticking and picking.

Choosing the right steel for tooling can impact tabletting success as well. Consider if the product is corrosive or abrasive and its compressibility and temperature sensitivity — proper tool material selection can eliminate issues from powders with these characteristics. Natoli’s tablet and tool design experts have experience dealing with these complex situations and will help the customer choose the right steel for their application.

Natoli manufactures punches and dies only from steel that has been triple checked for quality by the mill, an independent laboratory and Natoli Metallurgy. The customer can rest assured that their tooling investment is being made from the best materials when working with Natoli.
