A variety of products can be produced using tableting equipment, such as candy, cosmetics, household cleaners, and pharmaceuticals. To make high-quality products it is essential to select and utilize the appropriate equipment, which includes in terms of punch head size, shape, and material. A specific coating die punches, which creates an obstacle between the material and the tooling can be applied to processes where the compressed material is sticky, corrosive, hard to use. This article outlines the various coating options for punch tips available at SundiTools Compacting and the typical applications for each coating to help customers make more informed decisions when selecting and sourcing tooling for their tableting operations. SundiTools Compacting offers the option of a Punch Tip coatingSundiTools Compacting offers five different options for coating the tip of a punch to meet the requirements of the customer: Hard chrome plating Hard chrome plating coatings improve the corrosion and wear resistance of the tooling, and also minimize the effects of adhesion and friction on the tooling. PVD-chrome Chrome coatings with PVD offer higher wear resistance as well as better adhesion properties than FSG HCP coatings. They also have high resistance to corrosion. Chrome nitride: Chrome nitride coatings exhibit the greatest corrosion resistance, excellent adhesion properties, as well as good wear resistance. Titanium nitride: Titanium nitride coatings have high abrasion and wear resistance, as well as better adhesion characteristics than FSG-HCP coatings. Titanium aluminum nitride: Titanium aluminum nitride coated surfaces offer the highest wear resistance. Application of Coatings for Punch Tip The characteristics of the tableting materials will determine the best coating for a punch tip. Here are some examples: Hard chrome plating coatings work for tooling used on slightly abrasive, corrosive, or sticky materials. For tooling on mediumly abrasive or corrosive materials, PVD-chrome coatings can be used. Chrome nitride coatings work for tooling used on extremely corrosive, very sticky or mediumly abrasive material. For tooling on high abrasive or highly corrosive materials titanium nitride coatings could be utilized. To tool on extremely hard materials, such as crystal powders, titanium aluminum nitride coated is the ideal choice.
