Multi-tip tools by NOTTER
The precise manufacture of robust, high-quality multi-tip tools in a single casting is the gold standard in modern tool production for the tablet industry.
For years now, we have been the top innovator in the field of monobloc multi-tip tools. Through continuous research and development, coupled with a sound understanding of all the processes involved, we are able to provide our customers with a product that offers many advantages over composite multi-tip tools.
Maximum process reliability, unlike composite tools
- With composite tools, the fitting clearance is an integral part of the design, as it ensures that the tools work properly and compensates for tolerances.
- The constant movement at the fitting gap sooner or later leads to material fatigue and decreasing precision.
- Product ingress can clog the gap and impair its freedom of movement – this often leads to breakages.
Minimal cleaning time
- No fitting gaps on the tool and no hidden contamination, making GMP-compliant cleaning easy.
Maximum output
- 100% speed (70–80% for composite tools)
- The output scales linearly with the number of punch tips, for example: 3-tip tool on 75 stations = 1 million tablets/h.
Optimum load behavior
- If the Notura® Disc is used at the same time, the highest pressing forces can be applied even with the entire punch cross-section surface covered in punch tips.
Our multi-tip tools in a monobloc design are always superior to composite tools in applications that require maximum precision and performance or GMP conformity – for example, in the pharmaceutical sector. However, our composite pelleting tools can be a cost-effective alternative for pressing compressed products in the chemical or food industries, which have lower requirements regarding weight consistency.
Composite pelleting tools by NOTTER offer:
- Minimum fitting gaps
Our pelleting tools are less susceptible to the design-related problems of conventional composite tools - Maximum wear resistance
Particularly suitable for extremely wear-intensive processes - Cost-effective repairs
- Attractive acquisition costs
Case study: Tool breakages
The customer decided to follow NOTTER's recommendation. Under the intensive supervision of an application consultant, the composite tools were replaced with NOTTER mono multi-tip tools featuring the same number of tips and the process was optimized for the new, higher-performance tool. Once the work was complete, the customer was able to immediately increase their output by 30%. There is even the potential to double the output in the future by increasing the number of tips.
- 30% more output
- Shorter cleaning time
- Less downtime
- Personnel savings
