Non-Standard Tablet Tooling

Not every tablet press in production today follows current IPT or Euro tooling standards. Many pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers continue to operate reliable legacy machines, discontinued models and region-specific presses that require non-standard punches & dies.

We reverse-engineer, manufacture and supply non-standard tablet tooling for presses that are no longer supported by the original manufacturer or that use dimensions outside internationally standardised tooling formats.

• Ronchi tablet presses : including AR-series machines such as AR18, AR23
• Other discontinued European or regional tablet press designs where tooling standards pre-date IPT / Euro norms
Non-Standard Tooling for Chinese Tablet Presses (ZP Design)

Many Chinese tablet presses—commonly referred to as ZP-type presses—use tooling that does not conform to IPT or Euro standards.

These presses often feature:
• Proprietary punch barrel diameters
• Non-standard head profiles
• Variations in overall punch length and die dimensions
• Inconsistent tolerances between manufacturers

For ZP-design tablet presses, we manufacture punches & dies to suit the existing machine and turret configuration, with attention to fit, compression consistency and tooling performance.

If your press is discontinued or uses a non-standard tooling format, share the machine details, tooling sample or available drawing with our team. We will review the requirement and help determine a suitable tooling solution for the press.
