Problem:
A leading pharmaceutical manufacturer discovered that the top head for a rotary tablet press, made from ductile iron, was having release issues when the tablets are removed from the press.  Following a thorough examination, Magnaplate coated the part with Magnaplate HMF, which provides a super smooth mirror finish with a very low COF.

Solution:
Compliant with FDA and USDA regulations for food contact, Magnaplate HMF provides a coefficient of friction as low as 0.05.  It eliminates the sticking issues and provides static dissipation.  The pharmaceutical manufacturer reports that since coating the tablet press parts, they have reduced downtime and increased production.
