Laboratory coater and fluid bed processor

Optimize your research and development with a versatile benchtop unit that integrates granulating, drying, and coating processes, ensuring seamless transition and precise control for small-scale product innovation.

Processes and Coats Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Products

The Minilab RC from DIOSNA is a versatile laboratory unit that combines the functionalities of a fluid-bed processor and a drum coater, tailored for pharmaceutical and cosmetic product development. This benchtop unit utilizes the Rapid Change system to seamlessly switch between granulation, drying, and coating processes, making it ideal for producing pharmaceutical pills, effervescent tablets, and coated cosmetics.

Equipped with a fluid bed module and a drum coater, it processes batches from 0.2 to 3.2 kg in the fluid-bed, and 0.5 to 2.7 kg in the drum coater. Integrated air, measurement, and control technologies support comprehensive parameter monitoring with a full graphic display, ensuring precision and repeatability in operations. The Minilab RC offers flexibility through tool-free disassembly for ease of cleaning and optional microkits for varying batch sizes, enhancing adaptability in R&D settings.

Designed to meet stringent industry standards, the Minilab RC is compliant with pharmaceutical and fine chemical production requirements. Its construction supports efficient energy use, while optional temperature range extensions and available stainless-steel components ensure material compatibility and process safety. Maintenance is simplified through an intuitive interface, making it an asset for innovative product development.
