Integrated plenum tablet coater

Achieve consistent and high-quality coatings on tablets with advanced airflow management, efficiently handling diverse coating materials while minimizing resource consumption.

Processes and Coats Pharmaceutical Tablets

The Integrated Plenum HI-COATER® by Freund is a versatile tablet coating system designed for pharmaceutical manufacturers and CMOs. This equipment stands out due to its innovative plenum design that efficiently confines airflow, making it ideal for aqueous, solvent, and sugar film coatings. It processes batches from 50% to 100% of the rated capacity, providing significant flexibility for diverse production needs. The HI-COATER® excels in producing aspirin, multivitamin tablets, and delayed-release capsules, among other products.

Equipped with a precise AT-PRO™ Anti-Bearding Spray Gun, it ensures uniform coating through precision atomization and adjustable pattern air control. It is PLC-controlled with options for real-time inline PAT monitoring, supporting both automatic and manual operations. The system integrates seamlessly into production lines with minimal environmental impact, offering reduced power and utility consumption. Designed with corrosion-resistant materials and a sanitary mirror-smooth finish, it meets GMP compliance standards, ensuring safety and hygiene. Easy cleaning and maintenance are facilitated by features like removable spray bars and anti-slide baffles, while optional customizations allow tailoring to specific production requirements.
