The 3115426 Lube Felt for Punch Shank (Wiping Felt) is a specialized maintenance component designed for precision lubrication and cleaning in high-performance tablet press machinery. Engineered specifically to wipe and lubricate the punch shank area during tablet compression operations, this felt ensures consistent lubrication while effectively removing fine powder residues and contaminants that may accumulate during production. Its role is critical in maintaining smooth vertical motion of the punches, preventing wear and ensuring consistent tablet quality.
Crafted from high-absorbency, pharmaceutical-grade felt material, the 3115426 wiping felt is designed to hold and gradually release lubricant, providing a controlled and uniform distribution across contact surfaces. This minimizes friction and mechanical stress, reduces the risk of galling or seizing, and extends the life of punches and guide bushings. The felt also plays a cleaning role by collecting excess powder, contributing to a cleaner die table area and supporting GMP-compliant manufacturing environments.
Its dimensions and density are optimized for a secure fit within compatible felt holders (such as the Dia 19 holder), ensuring stable performance during high-speed, continuous operation. Easy to replace and requiring minimal downtime, the 3115426 Lube Felt for Punch Shank is an essential consumable for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers aiming for operational efficiency, reduced equipment maintenance, and superior tablet quality.
