Continuous coater for tablet coating
Achieve seamless tablet coating with continuous processing, enhancing efficiency and reducing cycle times, ideal for maintaining consistent product quality in high-speed pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Continuously Coats and Transports Pharmaceutical Tablets
The CROMA continuous coater from IMA Group provides pharmaceutical manufacturers with an advanced solution for seamless tablet coating processes. It operates on a modular principle, facilitating continuous coating with a perforated drum design for optimal accessibility and easy cleaning. Suitable for diverse tablets, the CROMA handles throughputs from 20 to 100 kg/h and supports weight gains between 2-4%, catering to applications involving aspirin, multivitamins, ibuprofen, and more. Its automation features include advanced process monitoring and full integration with Process Analytical Technology (PAT) tools, ensuring precise control over critical quality attributes. Designed for energy efficiency, it minimizes consumption while meeting GMP and FDA standards. The CROMA’s modularity allows it to adapt to various production scales, from R&D to clinical trials, without the need for scale-up, supported by comprehensive engineering assistance for tailored configurations.
