The 3115426 Lube Felt for Punch Shank, also known as Wiping Felt, is a critical maintenance component in rotary tablet compression machines. Its primary function is to apply a controlled amount of lubricant to the punch shank while simultaneously removing any excess oil, dust, or residue. This ensures that the punch operates smoothly within its guide tracks without accumulating build-up that could lead to wear or sticking.

Made from high-quality, absorbent felt material, this part is specially cut and treated to withstand the rigors of continuous operation in pharmaceutical environments. The wiping felt helps extend the life of both the upper and lower punches by maintaining cleanliness and reducing friction, contributing to consistent tablet quality and efficient press performance.

The 3115426 Lube Felt is easy to replace and install, making it an essential part of preventive maintenance schedules for high-speed tablet presses. Its precise dimensions ensure a snug fit and effective function without interfering with press mechanics.
