Precision coatings are often applied to tooling used in the manufacture of pharmaceutical tablets to ensure the process is operating efficiently as possible. The tableting tooling used in these processes tends to wear over time, resulting in undesirable effects which reduce performance. Precision coatings are applied to restore tableting tooling to its original levels of performance, increasing production and restoring efficiency.

Ion Beam Enhanced Deposited (IBED) Coatings -

The Ion Beam Enhanced Deposition (IBED) process is a precision coating technology that allows for the deposition of high quality engineered performance hard-bonding powder coating on virtually any metal and/or metallic alloy surfaces. Operating at temperatures below 200 degrees Fahrenheit, the IBED precision coating process is highly controllable, resulting in coatings with precise thickness and repeatable properties. Ion Beam Enhanced Deposition coatings are first formed in the subsurface region of the pharmaceutical tooling part to be coated and then grown out to a typical thickness of up to 5 microns (0.0002 inches). This tight metallurgical bond guarantees excellent coating adhesion and eliminates the possibility of chipping and flaking of the coating during tooling operation.

Chromium Nitride Coatings -

Chromium Nitride coatings work well when applied to pharmaceutical tooling to reduce corrosion, eliminate sticking and picking, and reduce wear rates. In use, Chromium Nitride provides a better performance enhancement than chrome plating for corrosion resistance, the reduction of sticking, and is also better for reducing high wear rates.
