Natoli FastLok Die Table Surface System for Tablet Presses

The Natoli FastLok Die Table System is designed to replace worn or damaged tablet press die table surfaces without replacing the die table itself. FastLok provides a fast, cost-effective alternative to traditional die table resurfacing and replacement, helping manufacturers minimize downtime and extend die table life.

What it does

Over time, tablet press die tables experience wear, damage, and surface degradation that can impact tablet quality and tablet contamination affecting press performance. Without the Natoli FastLok System, correcting this damage requires turret removal, die table resurfacing, or full replacement – resulting in extended and costly downtime.

The FastLok system replaces only the die table surface using a precision-engineered, snap-in surface plate that locks securely to the retrofitted die table. Worn surfaces can be removed and replaced in minutes, allowing presses to be returned to service quickly without extensive machining or long downtimes.

FastLok transforms die table maintenance from a major event into a routine, repeatable process.

Key Features

  • Fast replacement of die table surface plate for tablet presses
  • Precision snap-in locking design for secure surface retention
  • Tool-less installation and removal
  • Available with optional wear-resistant surface coatings or specialized materials such as carbide or ceramic
  • Eliminates the need for bolt-in die table resurfacing or replacement

Key Benefits

  • Lowers cost compared to full die table replacement
  • Extends the usable life of tablet press turrets
  • Enables rapid recovery from die table damage or wear (see below)
  • Eliminates production disruptions
  • Dramatically reduces tablet press downtime

Typical Applications

  • Replacing worn or damaged die table surfaces quickly
  • High-volume tablet presses
  • Facilities aiming to reduce spare turret inventory

Surface Damage Doesn’t Require Full Die Table Replacement

Die table surface damage is inevitable in tablet compression, but replacing an entire turret doesn’t have to be. FastLok provides a practical alternative that preserves the underlying turret while restoring a critical surface to operational condition.

By reducing downtime and cost, FastLok helps manufacturers keep presses running, protect capital investments, and respond quickly to unexpected tablet production issues.

Have your die table replaced with a retrofitted Natoli FastLok Die Table Surface System.

FastLok is designed for use on traditional tablet press turrets and die table configurations—not intended for use with segmented turret systems.
