Experts in the Production of Multi-tip Tooling Rotating Head Punches Tooling for Effervescent Unmatched quality and precision

Tooling

Precision and Innovation
Dies are a fundamental component in tablet production.

For this reason, B&D Italia has always been involved in the design and production of these components alongside the development and construction of tablet presses, ensuring full compatibility and efficiency.
The entire tooling production chain is managed internally, guaranteeing high quality with state-of-the-art computer-controlled machinery.
B&D Italia ensures fast delivery times and competitive prices for all punches. The company is globally recognized as an expert in the field of multiple, classic, and monobloc dies for all types of tablet presses.

Multi-tip tooling

B&D Italia manufactures and supplies tooling for producing multiple tablets per punch.

The size of the punch body determines the number of tips that can be applied.
Using state-of-the-art computer-controlled machinery, we ensure the precision required by this system, guaranteeing complete interchangeability and alignment of the parts.

Benefits:

  • Increased production per tablet press
  • Reduction in the number of presses required
  • Lower management costs

Rotary Head

Using rotary head punches provides increased resistance to wear.

All shaped and multiple punches must be key-seated to prevent rotation, ensuring that the punch tip remains aligned with the die.
This can lead to localized wear on the head where it contacts the cam track.
The rotary head is a unique concept designed to address this issue, offering additional benefits for the customer.

Benefits:

  • Increased wear resistance by allowing the head to rotate independently of the punch body, and it can also be made from more durable materials.
  • Faster and quieter production due to reduced resistance forces, enabling the tablet press to operate at higher speeds.

Effervescent Tablets

The production of effervescent tablets requires specific solutions for both the machine and the punches:

These products tend to easily grip the die hole.
To address this issue, a special feature is added to the lower punch: through a special felt installed on the press, it is soaked in food-grade oil that lubricates the die hole and prevents the punch from getting stuck in the turret.
A special plastic insert is placed on the punch to prevent tablet adhesion.

B&D Italia also provides an independent system, compatible with all tablet presses, that allows for the spraying of magnesium stearate onto punches and dies, helping to reduce adhesion to the die, which is common with certain pharmaceutical products.

Interchangeability

Thanks to a highly advanced mechanized process, the positioning of the key relative to the punch is extremely precise.
The result is great flexibility and interchangeability:

  • 50% reduced installation time
  • Quick reassembly after cleaning
  • Lower risk of punch wear, leading to greater die longevity

Punch Polishing

Cleaning punches not only takes time but can also pose health and safety risks.

B&D Italia offers a range of automatic Micro Fine polishing machines, recognizing the significant value of punches and the importance of keeping them in perfect condition.

Using a simple yet effective process, punches are loaded onto specially designed devices that rotate them inside a particle compound, achieving a Micro Fine polish while minimizing manual labor.

Up to 36 punches can be polished per cycle, which lasts about 30 minutes, consistently achieving excellent results.

Maintenance and
Storage

B&D Italia offers a wide range of systems for die storage that simplify maintenance while reducing the space required and warehouse management.
Our punch holders feature dedicated compartments to accommodate any type of die and punch used in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical environments.
