Latest Tablet Tooling Products to be Showcased at INTERPHEX

I Holland will be using INTERPHEX 2013 — the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, New York, US, 23–25 April — to present its extensive punch and die portfolio, including multi-tips, coatings and designer shapes, along with its latest addition to the PharmaCare range, the MF40 automated punch and die polishing machine.

MF40 has a 40 l media drum and increased capacity holders, giving a maximum of 51 B or 36 D punches per polishing cycle. The machine uses single phase power and fits in the same compact footprint as the MF35, making it a space and cost-effective machine.

Andy Dumelow, I Holland’s PharmaCare Product Manager, said: “The MF40 polishing machine was developed to be used as part of I Holland’s recommended PharmaCare 7-Step Process, a professional punch and die maintenance and storage programme.

“Automated polishing is an integral part of this 7-Step Process and will maximise trouble-free tablet production by helping to keep tooling in perfect condition. By following this process and correct maintenance, costly tablet press downtime and compression problems associated with capping, tablet weight and thickness variation can also be reduced.

“INTERPHEX is the perfect event to introduce a number of I Holland’s newest PharmaCare products and tool coating products to the market, giving us the opportunity to meet with decision makers within the industry and explain the innovative and unique processes and research that the company has developed to help our customers achieve effective manufacturing.”

Other products to be exhibited on the I Holland stand include the HNC Laser and the Holland Die Condition Monitor, a piece of precision equipment designed to monitor the condition of the bore for any die type, including multi-tips.
