Punch Tip Options
Upper and lower punches have multiple tip options that create a variety of improvements. An undercut relief on the upper punch can help with retention of dust cups. The Euro dust cup design is another method of dust cup retention that has a tighter seal for better prevention of lubrication leaking out. Bakelite relief is designed with a sharp relief to assist in removal of granulations along the die wall.
Each tablet formula, size and application varies – punches need to vary to account for these differences.
