Pharmaceutical tablet coating system
When producing pharmaceutical tablets, achieving a precise and consistent coating is crucial. Challenges such as ensuring coating uniformity, reducing material waste, and minimizing scale-up risks can make the coating process complex and demanding.
Enhanced coating with flexible batch and continuous modes
The ConsiGma® Tablet Coater by GEA is designed for high-performance coating of pharmaceutical tablets. It accurately deposits controlled amounts of coating materials onto hygroscopic or friable tablet cores, suitable for both batch and continuous production. The system can handle throughputs of 15–60 kg/h and can coat up to 500 kg of tablets in an 8-hour shift, with the twin-coater system capable of up to 1000 kg. The Conductor 4.0 software offers seamless process control, reporting, and traceability. The system’s interchangeable coating wheels and options for integration with various tablet presses and upstream/downstream processes make it versatile. The small footprint relative to throughput and the significant reduction in required coating solutions enhance operational efficiency.
