I Holland woos exhibition visitors with new tabletting technologies

Company's Wear Indicator Layer attracts the most attention.
The team from I Holland has reported a very successful Achema expo in Germany this year. With thousands of visitors from around the world, the stand was overwhelmed by the positive feedback from visitors, all impressed by the company’s new tablet tooling technologies.
The product which attracted a lot of attention, and was launched during the show, was I Holland’s Wear Indicator Layer. This is an innovative coating which when applied to tooling enables tablet manufacturers to monitor tool wear helping to minimise production downtime.
Once the functional coating approaches the end of its working life cycle, a distinctive gold coloured layer is revealed allowing technicians to change tooling before production problems like sticking can take place. Sticking occurs when particles of the tablet formulation adhere to the punch face. This can become so serious that production can be interrupted, reducing yields and increasing production costs. I Holland’s Wear Indicator Layer provides a warning that tooling requires replacement before any long-term damage or delay in production can take place.
Rob Blanchard said: “Achema was a great opportunity to launch the new Wear Indicator Layer to an influential audience within the pharmaceutical industry. It received much interest from those looking to improve their tablet production methods.
“The I Holland stand was busy throughout the event, with one of the main attention-grabbing features being the live design studio. The team of design experts demonstrated how they develop tablets and tablet tooling to incorporate important features which prevent production problems like picking and sticking.
“3D CAD models and drawings of a tablet design were brought to life by transforming them into 3D printed prototypes. Visitors saw the design on the screen and then within hours were holding the finished tablet in their hand. This was a great method of showcasing the skills of our designers and giving visitors the opportunity to see how their tablets would look once produced.”
