Designed to perfection When designing a tablet, aesthetics matter, but practicality is key. The font and logo design must be carefully chosen to ensure smooth manufacturing and prevent common production issues such as sticking and picking. Some things to consider ✔️Use fonts with large open counters to prevent granule build-up. ✔️Avoid sharp edges that could cause picking and sticking. ✔️Consult with tablet design experts to ensure scalability, tooling compatibility, and coating efficiency. Take a look at our article on tablet design for some useful tips…https://lnkd.in/eqBT7TR2

Combatting core erosion Core erosion is a common issue that occurs when the centre of a tablet experiences wear due to friction within the coating pan. This can compromise the tablet’s structural integrity and impact overall product quality. ✔️To mitigate this problem, careful consideration should be given to tablet design. Avoiding deep concave shapes and instead opting for a double radius profile can significantly reduce the risk of erosion, particularly in film-coated tablets. Implementing these design adjustments can enhance coating uniformity and improve the overall durability of the final product.

⚙️Punch head wear – what you need to know Punch headwear is a common issue that occurs when punches aren’t running smoothly in the tablet press. This type of wear can rapidly transfer to all punches in the set, so it is crucial to investigate and eliminate the issue immediately. What to look out for? ▶️The top of the punch head, particularly on the dwell flat ▶️The underside of the head where the head is in contact with the cams Optimising your tooling and regular maintenance is key to preventing issues such as this. Avoid common issues like this, and find more solutions here…https://lnkd.in/eHqafRhg

🔎The benefits of tool management Poor tool management can lead to rejected tablets, wasted formulations and costly press downtime. Implementing a tooling management system ensures efficiency, reduces downtime and extends the life of your punches and dies. We recommend using the IH-TMS and here’s why: ▶️Proactive monitoring of tooling in real-time ▶️Complete audit trail for maintaining full traceability and compliance with regulations ▶️Reduced downtime and unwanted costs.

⚙️Solving die wear in tablet production Over time, die ringing can affect tablet quality and cause production issues. This issue arises when hard, abrasive granules wear down the die bore, leading to tablet defects such as capping, delamination, and other production issues. ✔️How to combat die-wear ✔️Use high-quality, wear-resistant die materials ✔️Optimise compaction force ✔️Implement a tool management system for proactive monitoring. Common issues such as die wear can be solved with the right knowledge. Take a look at how to solve other common issues such as this here…https://lnkd.in/eHqafRhg

📈Boosting tablet production – case study Facing major challenges with tablet production? In this case study we take a look at how I Holland helped solve issues like tool wear, alignment issues and frequent tip breakage for a highly reputable customer. With a combination of coatings, improved tool selection and innovative multi-tip punches, we were able to help solve major issues. The results? ✔️A massive increase in die lifespan ✔️Reduced wear after increasing compression by 20% ✔️Output increased to 400,000 tablets per set. Check out the case study here and find out how I Holland can help you…https://lnkd.in/eFKCiRh2
