Auto Tablet Coater

The Auto Tablet Coater is designed for controlled and efficient coating of pharmaceutical tablets using a fully perforated rotating drum, precision spraying arrangements, and conditioned process air. During operation, tablets tumble inside the coating drum while coating suspension is applied through spray nozzles. The controlled airflow promotes evaporation of the coating solvent and formation of a coating layer on the tablet surfaces.

Intence Engineering offers Auto Tablet Coaters for pharmaceutical solid dosage manufacturing applications. The equipment incorporates a perforated coating drum, specially designed mixing baffles, adjustable spraying arrangements, and dedicated spraying and drying systems. These features support coating distribution, tablet movement, and controlled drying during suitable pharmaceutical coating processes.

Applications of Auto Tablet Coater

1. Pharmaceutical Film Coating: Applying suitable polymer-based coating formulations to tablet surfaces to achieve the required appearance, protection, and coating characteristics.
2. Tablet Taste Masking: Applying appropriate coating formulations to reduce the perception of unpleasant taste and improve patient acceptability.
3. Functional Tablet Coating: Supporting the application of specialized coating formulations for delayed release, enteric protection, or modified drug release, according to the formulation requirements.
4. Tablet Protection and Finishing: Applying suitable protective and aesthetic coatings to enhance tablet appearance and provide formulation- dependent protection against environmental influences.

Key Features

• Fully Perforated Coating Drum: The documented equipment uses a fully perforated rotating drum to support controlled process airflow through the tablet bed.
• Specially Designed Mixing Baffles: Internal baffles promote tablet movement and redistribution during the coating process.
• Stainless Steel and Glass Door: The equipment includes a stainless steel and glass access door for suitable process observation and equipment access.
• Silicone Sealing Arrangement: Silicone seals support appropriate sealing of the coating chamber during operation.
• Controlled Spraying System: Spray arrangements support controlled application of coating formulations onto the moving tablet bed.
• Adjustable Spray Nozzles: Nozzle positioning can be adjusted according to processing requirements to support suitable spray distribution.
• Dedicated Spraying and Drying: The documented design incorporates dedicated spraying and drying arrangements for tablet coating operations.
• Optimized Process Air Pattern: Airflow arrangements support moisture removal and controlled drying during coating.
• Tablet Discharge Arrangement: The equipment incorporates a discharge design intended to support efficient removal of coated tablets.
