Design tools by NOTTER
The size and shape of tablets have a big impact on how easy they are to take. In addition to optimized tablet shapes significantly improving patient acceptance, a unique design and special imprints can also prevent mix-ups and increase safety in medication use. They also help to differentiate your products from the competition and promote brand loyalty.
Throughour design service, we support pharmaceutical engineers in the development of unique tablet shapes to optimize medication administration and strengthen their brand.
Consulting
NOTTER supplies you not only with high-quality tools but also with the ideal complete solutions. We advise you in detail on all process optimization options, from tablet design to tool specifications, and also take into account the upstream processes. You will also quickly receive expert answers to all other questions, from the cleaning process to material and coating selection through to the use of FEM simulations. It often turns out that problems with tools are caused by the process or the press. We are happy to analyze specific problems and their causes with your team on site and develop a tailor-made solution to help you get to grips with corrosion, adhesion, abrasive products or high pressing forces.
PVD – the right coating for every task
For over 25 years, NOTTER has been developing and producing its own PVD coatings for finishing the surfaces of tableting tools, including many patented solutions that are not available anywhere else on the market. With this expertise, we offer you a broad range of coatings that are unique in terms of both their formulation and their microfine, virtually nonporous surface quality.
Plasmachrom®
The great strength of this coating lies in its ability to successfully counteract adhesion and sticking. It also has a low coefficient of friction and offers very good protection against corrosion and wear. Chromium VI-free Plasmachrom® was NOTTER's innovative response to the ban on chromium VI compounds in production chains and the first certified biocompatible PVD coating on the market. Of course, it also complies with the REACH regulation.

Case study: Product adhesion
Once the customer had switched to tools coated with NOTTER Plasmachrom® , they were able to manufacture products without any production disruptions or formulation changes. In addition, the biocompatibility of the coating will ensure from now on that there is no chance of toxic Cr6 compounds coming into contact with the customer's product – this has even been certified. In the event of an audit, the customer can present a corresponding certificate.
- Robust tablets
- Shorter cleaning time
- Certified biocompatibility
