TABLET COATING SYSTEM – IMA GS HE 400

CODE: PDN-CD-39

YEAR: 2007

CONDITION: GOOD

FIELD OF APPLICATION: PHARMACEUTICAL – NUTRACEUTICAL

Category:

Description

TYPE: Coating system for tablets and micro-pellets, designed for film coating and sugar coating processes. The machine uses a non-perforated coating pan with immersed baffles and a directed air-flow system, ensuring uniform coating, controlled drying and gentle handling of the product.

KEY FEATURES: The system is built around a non-perforated coating pan with immersed baffles, which ensures uniform mixing of the tablet bed. The directed air-flow system is designed to channel air directly into the core of the product, providing fast and even drying of the coating layer and consistent final quality. The machine is equipped with a multi-gun spray system mounted on a sliding support, which is easy to adjust and remove, simplifying set-up, cleaning and maintenance between batches. The system allows integrated control of the main process parameters (pan rotation speed, air temperature and air flow, as well as spray flow rate). The machine is suitable for both aqueous film coating and sugar coating.

TECHNICAL FEATURES:

Non-perforated stainless steel AISI 316L coating pan, diameter approx. 1,630 mm

Pan opening approx. 520 mm

Indicative working capacity 200–400 L

Minimum operating load: approx. 80–100 L

Optimal load: 200–350 L

Maximum load: up to 400 L

Pan drive motor approx. 4 kW, variable speed

Process air ventilation system approx. 2,500 m³/h

Multi-gun spray system on sliding support

Air handling unit with temperature control and filtration

Electrical panel with industrial PLC/HMI for parameter management

400 V – 50 Hz – three-phase

PRODUCTION SPECIFICATIONS: The system operates with batches between 80 and 400 L, with an optimal working range between 200 and 350 L depending on product density.
Under standard operating conditions, film coating typically requires 60–120 minutes, while sugar coating may vary between 3 and 6 hours depending on the recipe.
