FAQ

What tooling standards are supported?

B, BB, D, and DB standards are included with accurate specifications. Each has specific diameter limits, punch dimensions, and compatibility requirements based on official standards.

Why is land width important?

Land width affects tablet strength, tooling wear, and compression characteristics. Typical range is 0.05-0.3mm depending on tablet size and formulation.

What happens if tooling is incompatible?

Incompatible tooling can cause tablet defects, premature tooling wear, production stoppages, and potential safety issues during compression.

How do I choose the right tooling standard?

Choose based on your tablet size: BB for very small tablets (≤13-14mm), B for small-medium (≤16-19mm), DB for medium (≤19mm), and D for large tablets (≤25mm).

When should I be concerned about shape factor?

Shape factors above 0.15 (cup depth ÷ diameter) may cause ejection issues. Consider reducing cup depth or using specialized ejection systems for high shape factors.
