Tablet Coating Machines: Enhancing Pharmaceutical coating Excellence with F Plus’ Coat Plus and Safe Coat series
Introduction
The pharmaceutical industry relies heavily on precision and efficiency, and tablet coating machines play a crucial role in ensuring high-quality drug formulations. Whether it’s enhancing drug stability, controlling release rates, or improving aesthetics, pharmaceutical tablet coating has become an indispensable process in modern manufacturing.
This blog explores the latest innovations in tablet coating technology, the role of auto coater machines, and why investing in advanced tablet auto coater machines can be a game-changer for pharmaceutical companies worldwide.
Understanding Tablet Coating and Its Importance
Tablet coating involves applying a thin, uniform layer of coating solution over the surface of tablets to improve their functionality. The purpose of tablet coating varies from masking unpleasant tastes to controlling drug release in the body. Some advanced coating in tablets also protects the drug from environmental factors, ensuring extended shelf life.
There are three main types of tablet coatings: Film coating, Enteric coating, and Sugar coating.
The advanced tablet coating machine by F Plus is designed to efficiently perform all three types of coatings within a single machine.
The Evolution of Auto Coater Machines
Traditionally, tablet coating was done in a non-perforated coating pan, leading to inconsistencies and production delays. However, with the advent of auto coater machines, the process has become highly efficient, ensuring uniform coating on every tablet.
With continuous R&D and upgradations, F Plus has developed the ‘Coat Plus’ and ‘Safe Coat’ series machines into market-proven technologies, equipped with all the latest features, including:
+Film, Enteric & Sugar Coating in a single equipment.
+Capability to handle Organic as well as aqueous based solvents.
+Interchangeable Pan design and additional Mini-baffles to cater wide range of batch in a single machine.
+Anti-Bearding performance of Spray Nozzle.
+Operator friendly operating interface with 21 CFR part 11 and Gamp 5 Compliant IPC systems.
+Automatic Charging & Discharging of Tablets.
+Multi head Multi drive pump
+ Suitable for coating of High-Potent drugs.
+ Smooth integration with all major MES platforms.
