Equipment for Tablet Coating

Equipment for Tablet Coating

A) Coating Pan (Rotary Drum)

  • Description: A large, rotating drum where tablets are coated by spraying.

Features:

  • Adjustable rotation speed.

  • Equipped with spray nozzles for even distribution.

  • Incorporates drying mechanisms (e.g., hot air).

B) Fluidized Bed Coater

  • Description: A chamber where air is blown upward to fluidize tablets for uniform coating.

Features:

  • Spray systems for applying the coating solution.

  • Heating elements for drying.

  • Adjustable air flow and temperature controls.

C) Spray Dryers

  • Description: Equipment that atomizes and dries the coating solution before deposition.

Features:

  • Atomization nozzles.

  • Controlled heating systems.

  • Particle collection mechanisms.

D) Electrostatic Coaters

  • Description: Machines that use electrostatic forces to apply coatings.

Features:

  • Charging systems for tablets and coating particles.

  • Controlled spray nozzles.

  • Electric field generators.

E) Vacuum Coating Machines

  • Description: Chambers where coating is applied under vacuum conditions.

Features:

  • Vacuum pumps.

  • Vaporization systems for coating materials.

  • Temperature and pressure controls.
