Pharmaceutical tablet coating system
Achieve precise and efficient coating of pharmaceutical tablets to enhance product stability and efficacy, while maintaining flexibility in both continuous and batch production.
Coats Pharmaceutical Tablets with Precision
The ConsiGma® Tablet Coating (TC) Modules from GEA deliver exceptional precision in pharmaceutical tablet coating, utilizing high-performance technology to deposit accurate amounts of coating materials on tablet cores, regardless of hygroscopicity or friability. Designed for both batch and continuous production, these modules can seamlessly integrate into diverse tablet manufacturing lines, including R&D, pilot, and full-scale operations. Supporting a capacity of 1.5 kg to 500 kg per shift, or up to 1000 kg with a twin-coater system, the ConsiGma® TC offers flexibility with interchangeable coating wheels and customizable options to meet specific production needs. Equipped with Conductor 4.0 software, it ensures comprehensive process control and integrates with upstream and downstream equipment. The system achieves up to a 50% reduction in coating solution use, maintaining high-quality coatings while reducing waste. Meeting GMP and FDA standards, it aligns with pharmaceutical industry regulations and provides efficient CIP options for maintenance and cleaning.
