Tool Life Expectancy

Tooling is a significant investment for companies. Individual punches and dies may represent a small portion of production costs in relation to the purchase and maintenance of the equipment, such as fluid bed dryers and tablet presses. However, over the life of a product, many sets of tooling will be necessary amounting to a sizable expenditure. Excessively worn or improperly maintained tools could create a tremendous liability to the production team by creating a perception of poor quality to the consumer. Tablet manufacturers will receive the most use and highest quality tablets from their tooling if the tools are properly maintained.
