Your trusted cemented carbide punches supplier from China. We manufacture custom upper punches, dies, and lower punches to exact tolerances for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and industrial tablet compression. TSM & EU standards. Global delivery.
HYW Precision Technology is a specialist cemented carbide punches supplier based in Xiamen, China. Our founding team brings over 20 years of hands-on experience from leading Chinese carbide manufacturers including ZCC and GESAC — giving us deep insight into carbide grades, grinding techniques, and tooling performance.
We supply custom cemented carbide punches — upper punches, dies, and lower punches — to pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and industrial customers worldwide. From prototype (2-piece MOQ) to full production runs, every punch is ground to ±2μm and fully inspected. When standard steel tooling fails, our tungsten carbide punches deliver.
A lean, specialist team of 12+ engineers and technicians — deeply focused on niche carbide applications, offering the responsiveness of a boutique supplier with the capabilities of an established manufacturer.
Cemented carbide punches outlast steel tooling by 5–15× in demanding tablet compression applications. Tungsten carbide's extreme hardness (HRA 89–92) and compressive strength make it the preferred choice for abrasive APIs, effervescent tablets, and high-speed presses running 500,000+ tablets/hour.
All cemented carbide punches supplied from China to TSM or EU standards. Custom punch dimensions available on request. Material certificates and dimensional inspection reports provided with every order. CMM inspection available on request.

"We switched from standard steel to HYW carbide punches for our effervescent vitamin C line. Tool life improved more than 10× and tablet weight uniformity is now excellent. Fast reply, great technical support."
"Ordered TSM-B carbide punches for our Fette press. Tolerance was spot-on (±0.002mm on barrel diameter). The dimensional inspection report is exactly what our QA department requires. Will order again."
"We needed just 3 prototype punches for a new catalyst pellet formulation. No other supplier would do such a small run. HYW handled our bespoke drawing perfectly, delivered in 2 weeks. Excellent quality."
All cemented carbide punches ship with a dimensional inspection report and material certificate. Full CMM inspection is available on request. Below are real examples from actual customer orders.
