Star Multi-Tip Tablet Punches | EMMKAY INDUSTRIES

Star-shaped multi-tip tablet punches combine the visual appeal of star-shaped tablets with the production efficiency of multi-tip tooling. Instead of producing one star tablet per compression cycle, multi-tip configurations produce 2, 3, or more star tablets simultaneously — multiplying your output without additional presses.

EMMKAY INDUSTRIES manufactures precision star multi-tip punches for confectionery, candy, and nutraceutical manufacturers who need high-volume production of star-shaped tablets. Our commitment to quality materials ensures durability, reliability, and longevity, making them ideal for high-volume production.

Star Multi-Tip Configurations

Star shapes require keyed punches to maintain the correct orientation during compression. Each tip is precisely aligned so that all star tablets produced in a single cycle are identical in shape, weight, and appearance.

Applications

Star multi-tip punches are most commonly used for:

- Candy and confectionery — High-volume production of star-shaped mints, candies, and pressed sweets
- Children's vitamins — Fun star shapes that appeal to children, produced at scale
- Nutraceutical supplements — Brand-differentiated star tablets for retail shelves
- Promotional tablets — Branded star-shaped products for marketing campaigns

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can star multi-tip punches work with my existing tablet press?
A: Yes. Star multi-tip punches fit standard D or B tooling tablet presses without modification. They use the same die table and turret as single-tip punches.

Q: How many star tablets can I produce per hour with multi-tip tooling?
A: Output depends on your press speed and number of tips. A 3-tip configuration on a 45-station press running at 30 RPM produces approximately 243,000 star tablets per hour (vs. 81,000 with single-tip). Contact us to discuss your production requirements.
