Application & Process

Application: The Pharmateq advanced tablet coating machine, designed for high efficiency, energy conservation, and safety, is ideal for film and sugar coating of pharmaceutical and food products. Complying with cGMP standards, it supports both aqueous and non-aqueous coatings, including enteric and non-enteric types, ensuring optimal productivity and superior product quality.

Process: Tablets move in an orbital motion within a closed rotating drum with baffles. The coating medium is sprayed onto the tablets, and hot filtered air dries them uniformly, forming a smooth surface film. An advanced PLC system with a touch screen interface controls the process.

Drum Geometry:

  • Compact design with a large spray area and numerous nozzles for comprehensive coverage.

  • Rapid and effective mixing ensures uniform coating.

  • Dedicated cleaning nozzles facilitate easy cleaning.

Mixing Elements:

  • Efficient mixing baffles allow filling level flexibility (20%-100% of the working volume).

  • Reverse drum operation enables swift and complete tablet discharge.

Nozzle Arm:

  • Adjustable nozzle arm with motor-driven options and extensive range adjustments.

  • Optimal number of nozzles ensures consistent coating quality.

  • Flexible fluid delivery and optional laser measuring for precise nozzle positioning.

Safety Features:

  • Overload relay protection and emergency stop.

  • Water level sensors for the hot water vessel and detergent tank.
