1. Single punch tablet press tooling: This type of tooling is used in single punch tablet presses to produce tablets in small batches.
2. Rotary tablet press tooling: This type of tooling is used in rotary tablet presses to produce tablets in large quantities.
3. Multi-tip tooling: This type of tooling is used in multi-tip tablet presses to produce multiple tablets at once.
4. B tooling: B tooling is a standard type of tooling used in tablet presses for manufacturing tablets of various sizes and shapes.
5. D tooling: D tooling is another standard type of tooling used in tablet presses for manufacturing tablets of various sizes and shapes.
6. F tooling: F tooling is used for manufacturing tablets with a flat face and beveled edge.
7. T tooling: T tooling is used for manufacturing tablets with a flat face and round edge.
8. Specialized tooling: There are also specialized types of tooling used for specific tablet shapes, sizes, and formulations, such as embossing tooling, bi-layer tablet tooling, and controlled-release tablet tooling.
