Perforated pan technology for small batches and simple formulations for tablets and pellets.
Performance: 0.75 to 3 L
Advanced coating technology in a pilot scale
Ideal technology for product development that allows easy change to a pilot scale and provides useful information for industrial batches.
The standard equipment is suitable to work with drums from 0.5 to 1 kg and 1 kg to 2 kg.
Special drum execution is available to produce small batches for coating pellets.
The laboratory tablet coater controls each critical variable that is decisive for the dynamic equilibrium, such as:
Spray ratio
Inlet airflow
Exhaust airflow
Inlet and exit air temperature
Tablet temperature during the process
Turning speed of the pan drum
Film Coating of tablets and pellets
Tablet coating is a covering or film coating that is applied to the surface of a particle or a tablet for different purposes. The motivation for coating dosage forms ranges from:
Applying colour and gloss
Improving the stability, for example in form of light protection, moisture and gas barrier
Making it easier to swallow the tablet
Also, functional coatings can be used to modify the drug release behaviour from the dosage form.Depending on the polymers used it is possible either to delay the release of the drug or use the coating to sustain the release of the drug from the dosage form over extended periods of time.
Optimise processes before industrialisation
With the TPR Lab tablet coater it is possible to minimise the costs and time for research & development for the production processes.
