There are several stages of the tablet manufacturing process where damage can take place, including unpacking the tooling, loading\/unloading the tools in or out of the tablet press, during tool cleaning\/maintenance procedures and storage\/transportation. If damage occurs it can lead to the production of poor quality tablets, and even further damage to both the tooling and the tablet press. It is important to understand the delicate nature of the tooling and operate good tool care, maintenance, storage and handling procedures, to keep this problem to a minimum.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-41b67f3\" data-id=\"41b67f3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac71bad elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ac71bad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/temacons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/iholland-case-study-tablet-production-5-common-problems-solved-1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"iholland-case-study-tablet-production-5-common-problems-solved-1\" data-elementor-lightbox-description=\"iholland, tablet production, 5 common problems solved\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NDY0MSwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3RlbWFjb25zLmNvbVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyMVwvMDZcL2lob2xsYW5kLWNhc2Utc3R1ZHktdGFibGV0LXByb2R1Y3Rpb24tNS1jb21tb24tcHJvYmxlbXMtc29sdmVkLTEuanBnIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"291\" height=\"279\" src=\"https:\/\/temacons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/iholland-case-study-tablet-production-5-common-problems-solved-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-4641\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e60a0bb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e60a0bb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Figure 1:<\/strong> Example of damage to punch tip land area caused by poor handling<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-6619d85 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6619d85\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-8316d0f\" data-id=\"8316d0f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f482b9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2f482b9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>2.

cracks, chipping of the punch tip edges, or even a full piece of the tip edge breaking away. Because high cyclic loading is applied to the cup many thousands of times per running hour, the tip edge is flexing and bending within the clearance between the punch tip and die bore. If operating conditions are not optimised, this can eventually lead to fatigue or brittle fracture, causing the punch tip to fail. These types of failure can be avoided by careful punch and tablet design, correct metallurgical condition and using the appropriate compaction force.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1693871 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1693871\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>3.

Die wear<\/strong><\/p><p>This occurs especially when compressing hard, abrasive granules and powders. Die wear, or \u2018die ringing\u2019, takes place in the area of the die bore where the tablet is compacted.<\/p><p>The wear appears as a double ring due the upper and lower punch tips flexing and bending within the clearance between the tips and the die bores during full compaction. The granule reacts between these surfaces leading to compressive and abrasive wear.<\/p><p>Once wear becomes considerable it leads to problems such as tablet capping or delamination and increased tablet ejection forces. This type of wear can be reduced by utilising the zones in the die bore where the tablet is compacted or by the selection of a harder more wear resistant die
