INTRODUCTION
7 SIMPLE STEPS TO PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT
It’s simply good business sense - maintain and store your punches and dies correctly and you will
produce a better product for longer, reduce costs and enhance profitability.
PHARMACARE®7 Step Process is a planned, professional maintenance and storage programme which will
contribute more than it costs to your company’s turnover.
PHARMACARE ® 7 STEP PROCESS
01. CLEAN
Tooling should be cleaned and dried to
remove any oil or product residue.
02. ASSESS
Visually inspect tooling for signs of obvious
damage and establish if maintenance
is required.
03. REPAIR
Light surface corrosion and damage can be
polished out and repaired.
04. MEASURE
Measuring is essential after repair to ensure
that critical tooling dimensions have stayed
within tolerance.
05. POLISH
Polishing should result in a smooth mirror finish.
06. LUBRICATE
Lubrication is important to protect, preserve
and aid the smooth operation of tooling.
07. STORE
Storage cabinets should be specially
designed to maximise security, safety and
minimise damage.

WHY USE PHARMACARE ®?
POLISH AND MAINTAIN TABLET COMPRESSION TOOLING
Tablet compression tools are often viewed as consumable items that can be easily replaced at relatively
low cost. Maintenance therefore can be seen as an unnecessary evil and overlooked within the tablet
manufacturing organisation. However by performing maintenance and keeping the tooling in pristine
condition, costly tablet press downtime and compression problems such as capping, tablet weight and
thickness variation etc. will be reduced.
Correct maintenance is critical in obtaining maximum life from punches and dies. A high percentage
of punch and die problems/damage can be conclusively traced back to poor handling and
maintenance procedures.
I HOLLAND’S RECOMMENDED 7 STEP PHARMACARE ® PROCESS:
STEP 01: CLEAN
Punch and die cleaning is essential for the removal of residue to avoid product contamination.
Cleaning allows for accurate assessment of tooling condition during the inspection/assessment phase
as outlined below. Ultrasonic baths are recommended for cleaning as they allow for consistent cleaning
results, reduced processing and operator time (cleaning times are normally 5 minutes) and reduced risk of
tablet contamination. Importantly, ultrasonic cleaning allows for the whole punch to be cleaned including
in and around the embossing.

STEP 02: INSPECT / ASSESS
Following cleaning, punches and dies should be assessed visually to determine their general condition
allowing the user to identify the repair and polishing work required, if any. Inspection and assessment
can be carried out visually using an eye glass or a high magnification camera / lens. Visual inspection
importantly allows for tooling life to be monitored and potential failure predicted. It also ensures that tablet
detail and definition are maintained and helps to validate the cleaning and maintenance procedures.
| Inspection scope
| iNSPECT system
STEP 03: REPAIR
The repair stage allows the user to rectify any damage to the tooling before polishing.
Minor damage and corrosion can be repaired using a motorised chuck. If damage is excessive, tools must
be replaced. In all cases it is important to remember that repair to punches and dies should only be carried
out when absolutely necessary as this can potentially change tooling dimensions resulting in other tabletting
problems. Regular maintenance and repair work will help to extend tooling life, maintain tablet image and
definition, optimise tooling productivity and prevent tooling breakages.
06
PHARMACARE
®
STEP 04: MEASURE
Measuring is essential after polishing and repair to ensure that critical tooling dimensions have stayed
within tolerance. Key dimensions include: head form, barrel diameter, tip diameter, overall length, critical
working length, die outer diameter, die bore diameter. Measurement can be carried out manually
using conventional equipment i.e. micrometers, height gauges, go-no go gauges, but by using digital
equipment interfaced with special software, the data can be captured and analysed.
The use of digital measurement systems allow for measurements to be taken consistently, reducing the
risk of manual data entry errors. Measurement is essential for validating the tooling specification and
maintaining tablet weight thus avoiding non-conforming tablet production. It also allows for the proactive
monitoring of the tooling inventory and the prediction of tooling replacements resulting in an improved
return on investment.

STEP 05: POLISH
Automated polishing is recommended to ensure punches are evenly polished to a consistent finish.
Automated polishing ensures optimum and consistent tooling condition for maximum productivity, a
reduced risk of damage compared to manual processes, reduced sticking, and saved labour costs.
Manual polishing using diamond paste or a dental motor can also be applied. However, this is an abrasive
polishing method and care must be taken not to deform the tip profile and embossing causing a deviation
from the tablet specification. Extensive polishing of die bores is not recommended as this can easily alter
the size and geometry of the bore leading to ejection problems and incorrect tablet size, weight and
dosage. Only light polishing or cleaning should be undertaken. Polishing should result in a mirror finish and
smooth tooling surface.
Please Note: Re-cleaning after polishing is not required provided that a food grade polishing media and paste is used
during this operation.
| MF40 automated polisher
STEP 06: LUBRICATE
When storing tooling it is important to protect with a preservative or rust inhibitor to prevent corrosion. Prior to
this, it is important to ensure that the tools are perfectly dry as any remaining moisture may be sealed in by
the coating of oil. Lubrication helps to optimise the interface between the tooling and the press avoiding
increased press down time.
08
PHARMACARE

STEP 07: STORE
There are many methods for storing punches and dies from specially designed plastic storage boxes to
custom designed and built storage cabinets. Correct storage facilitates good tooling management and
ensures less press downtime as a result of poor handling and storage.

SUMMARY
The 7 step PHARMACARE® process is essential for maximising tooling life and producing quality
tablets. Investment in the correct equipment and training will pay dividends in the long term,
enabling the tablet press to be more productive and tooling life to be extended.
I Holland’s Product Support Group is able to provide advice, training and product solutions for any
aspects of punch and die maintenance, handling and storage.
Please contact info@iholland.co.uk for further information.
I Holland also offer the Holland PHARMACARE™ range, a range of complementary equipment, to
ensure maximum tooling life and minimised tablet production problems.

BELLOWS & DRIP CUPS
ACCESSORIES
All silicone bellows and drip cups supplied by I Holland are 100% FDA compliant but, to reduce the
possibility that small fragments may reach the end user, we have now developed bellows and drip
cups that are identifiable by standard metal detection equipment.
These solutions have been independently tested by metal detection experts LOCK
INSPECTION SYSTEMS. In these tests samples of the metalised bellows, which are also manufactured to FDA
standards, proved to be 100% detectable at a size of 2mm x 2mm using an INSIGHT PH metal detector.
This innovative design means that even tiny fragments of the material should never reach the consumer.

Metalized Bellows
Punch Bellows and Drip Cups help to prevent tablet and punch guide contamination during the tablet compression
process. However, there is a small risk that the close proximity of these to the die table may lead to the inclusion of small
fragments of silicone material in the finished tablet.
All silicone Bellows and Drip cups supplied by I Holland are 100% FDA compliant but, to reduce the possibility that small
pieces may reach the end user, I Holland have now developed bellows and drip cups that are identifiable by standard
metal detection equipment.
In independent tests, samples of I Holland’s metalized bellows, which are also manufactured to FDA standards, proved
to be 100% detectable at a size of 2mm x 2mm using an INSIGHT PH metal detector.
