Tablet Compression Tooling Accessories

The Eurostandard - 2010 Edition

The Eurostandard has been in existence since 1992 when I Holland decided to gather together their decades of experience in dealing with the design, manufacture and supply of high quality tablet compression tooling into the 1st Edition of the Eurostandard with subsequent updates in 1996 and 2006.  
The Eurostandard 2010 Educational Collection is the latest edition of the most comprehensive guide available for the standardisation of tablet punches and dies. This suite of documents includes the new, optimised Eurostandard 2010 Technical Specification which is specifically designed to be compatible with the International Standards Organisation ISO 18084:2005(E) - ‘Press Tools for Tablets.’

Universal Seal Groove/Bellows & Drip Cups

Our Punches are able to incorporate the Universal Seal Groove, which allows Bellows to be fitted onto upper punches forming a flexible seal between the Turret and the Punch Barrel thus reducing the risk of oil contamination from the machine’s lubrication system. Drip Cups can also be fitted to the Universal Seal Groove, allowing the user a choice of solutions.

The Universal Seal Groove can be applied to I Holland Euro ‘B’ and ‘D’ type Punches. Alternatively, it is possible to fit the Universal Seal Groove to any Punch type provided that the tablet compression tooling design will accommodate the required fixing groove and the punch barrel diameter does not exceed the Bellows dimensions.

Die Alignment Tools

The die alignment tool is used in conjunction with totally interchangeable shaped or multi-tipped tablet compression tools. The die alignment tool aligns the die bores relative to the keyways in the turret guides; this allows all dies to be fitted rapidly and accurately with just one special tool.

Rotahead - Rotating Head Punches

Rotahead punches allow the head to rotate independently to the punch body, providing a ‘bearing’ between the punch head and cams. The punch head can be manufactured from a harder, more wear resistant material optimising metallurgical characteristics of the punch assembly, and providing extended tooling life.

Rotahead can be applied to most standard punch types, both upper and lower, including Euro B, Euro D, Pharma, 20/28, 25/32 and EU1” - 441.
