The Pharma R&D Coater is available in 2 different models : Deluxe and Super Deluxe. Depending on the machinery that already exists at your coating facility,   you can decide which model suits your needs best. In the table below, "Y"   indicates that the component is available.

OPERATION :

The Pharma R&D Coater is an integrated and automatic / semi-automatic unit consisting of a stainless steel (304/316) coating pan, a spraying system, a hot air blower, and an exhaust system. It uses the rotary momentum of the coating pan to tumble the tablets / granules contained with it. Baffles are provided along the interior walls of the pan to tilt the contents for efficient coating.

As film coating requires a spray technique, a spray gun delivers finely nebulized droplets of the coating solution onto the moving tablet bed, in such a manner as to ensure uniform coverage. The tablets are dried by directing a stream of hot air onto the surface of the tablet bed and the exhaust system takes care of the unwanted solvent vapours. The hot air blower maintains the temperature between 60° - 80° C, to achieve better performance. All the settings, including the temperature and rotation speeds, can be measured and adjusted accurately using the advanced control panel. Feeding and retrieving the tablets / granules from the pan should be done with a scoop, and the various parameters for coating should be established through trial.
