Unexpected machine failures, worn production components and obsolete spare parts can have a major impact on pharmaceutical manufacturing performance, particularly where production downtime and delivery schedules are critical.
Toolrite provides precision engineered aftermarket machine spares, replacement components and repair support developed around the operational requirements of pharmaceutical process and packaging environments.
Supporting a wide range of pharmaceutical blister packaging, stick pack, sachet, encapsulation, labelling, feeding, cartoning and secondary packaging machinery platforms, support can be provided for both current generation and legacy production equipment where OEM lead times, availability or costs may present operational challenges.
With extensive engineering capability and practical manufacturing understanding, Toolrite can support customers through reverse engineered replacement parts, repair solutions and rapid manufacture of production-critical machine components designed to restore reliable production operation as efficiently as possible, often with significantly faster lead times and more commercially competitive solutions compared to traditional OEM supply routes.
Manufactured and supported within the UK, Toolrite supports pharmaceutical manufacturers across the UK and Europe, with many shipments capable of next day mainland Europe delivery, including AM delivery services where operationally required.
Supporting OEM Pharmaceutical Packaging Machinery
Support can be provided across a wide range of pharmaceutical packaging and process machinery manufacturers and OEM production systems.
Commonly supported machinery platforms include:
• Uhlmann machine spares
• Romaco Noack machine spares
• Marchesini machine spares
• IMA machine spares
• Mediseal machine spares
• CAM machine spares
• Bosch / Syntegon machine spares
• Pentapack machine spares
• Toyo stick pack machine spares
• Fette machine spares
• Encapsulation machine spares
• Labelling machine spares
• Pharmaceutical feeding system spares
• Secondary packaging machinery spares
However, support is not limited to the machinery platforms listed above and can often be provided across a wide range of pharmaceutical process and packaging equipment through reverse engineering, refurbishment and replacement manufacture support.
Production-Critical Spare Parts
Support can be provided for production-critical replacement components utilised throughout pharmaceutical process and packaging operations.
This may include:
This may include:
• Shafts and pulleys
• Cutting applications including blades and slitting wheels
• Guide rails and guide components
• Feed system spare parts including tubes and shut-off pins
• Cams and mechanical drive components
• Filling and dosing nozzles
• Tablet compression spare parts
• Transfer components and change parts
• Mechanical machine assemblies
• Specialist engineered replacement components
Components are developed around reliable long-term production operation, machine compatibility and the operational demands of GMP-regulated pharmaceutical manufacturing environments.
To support faster customer response times and minimise production downtime, commonly utilised spare parts and wear components may also be retained within Toolrite stock where operationally required.
Reverse Engineered Machine Components
Reverse engineering support provided for damaged, obsolete or unavailable pharmaceutical machine parts where replacement OEM components may no longer be commercially viable or operationally practical. Components can often be manufactured from existing samples, damaged parts or technical drawings to support continued production reliability, minimise unnecessary downtime and provide a cost-effective alternative where OEM lead times, availability or replacement costs may no longer align with operational production requirements.
Replacement Heater Plates & Pre-Heat Plates
Toolrite also manufactures replacement heater plates and pre-heat plates for a wide range of pharmaceutical blister packaging machinery platforms. Developed around reliable thermal performance, dimensional accuracy and long-term production operation, replacement heater plates can provide a cost-effective and responsive alternative to OEM replacement supply where lead times or replacement costs may present operational challenges. Support can be provided for both current generation and legacy blister packaging machinery systems, with components manufactured around the individual operational requirements of each application. Alongside complete replacement manufacture, Toolrite also continues to support refurbishment, re-straightening and OEM replacement coating services for existing heater plates where operationally viable.
Stock Holding & Customer Support Agreements
Toolrite understands the operational pressures associated with pharmaceutical production downtime and the importance of rapid access to production-critical spare parts. For long-term customer partnerships, support can also be provided through agreed minimum stock holding arrangements where commonly utilised components are retained within Toolrite stock to help support faster response times and minimise operational disruption where urgent replacement parts may be required.
Machine Repairs & Engineering Support
Alongside replacement spares manufacture, Toolrite can also support pharmaceutical manufacturers through repair, refurbishment and engineering problem-solving support across a wide range of pharmaceutical process and packaging machinery applications. Support can be provided both on-site and remotely depending on operational requirements, including assistance with machine adjustments, feeding system optimisation, tooling alignment concerns and wider packaging production support. UK-based engineers are also available to assist remotely through Microsoft Teams and WhatsApp where rapid technical support may help minimise downtime and restore production performance.
