Japanese
The properties of the newly developed stainless steel material "SP520" enabled us to successfully create a punch with a rigidity (equivalent to the type K, strong type) not found in existing stainless steel punches. It is the only stainless steel punch in Japan that can be treated with a ceramic coating on its tableting surface, which makes it perfect for keeping your tableting machine clean.
- POINT1
- Using the new stainless steel material "SP520", our clean type punch has successfully achieved hardness never seen in existing stainless steel punches.
It is nearly as rigid as our type K, strong type punch.
- POINT2
- Our unique material "SP520" enables the punch to be treated with a ceramic coating. Existing stainless steel punches encountered an issue with treatment temperature which made treatment impossible. With the clean type punch, ceramic coating is now possible.
- POINT3
- The clean type punch is made from materials with excellent corrosion protection properties reducing your concerns about corrosion.
- POINT4
- The clean type punch, as opposed to a regular iron punch, significantly reduces the formation of corrosion on the punch after it is rinsed. The clean type punch simplifies storage and quality control, reducing management costs.

|
| DLC | 3000~ | This has high coating hardness and wear resistance, offering great releasability for some tablet types. Very effective for tableting substances such as chemical products. |  |
|
|
|
|
|
| HCr | 800~ | Standard surface treatment coating. This can be applied to the entire punch and is also effective as corrosion protection. |
