Tablet coating solution
Achieve precise tablet coating with uniformity and efficiency, tailored for diverse tablet types, ensuring consistent quality in pharmaceutical production lines.

Controls Tablet Coating and Ensures Uniformity
The Fabtech Autocoater is a high-precision coating machine designed specifically for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical tablet production. It stands out due to its precise control over critical coating variables, ensuring consistency and uniformity in film and sugar-coated tablets. The equipment employs a perforated coating solution container and a peristaltic pump with differential pressure controls, optimizing the cascade flow of tablets and enabling uniform coating across varying tablet shapes and sizes.
Ideal for applications such as pharmaceutical tablets, nutraceuticals, and herbal supplements, the Autocoater is versatile in producing end-products like sustained-release and enteric-coated tablets. It supports operations from lab-scale trials to commercial production, compliant with cGMP and 21 CFR Part 11 standards, ensuring regulatory adherence.
Engineered with interchangeable pan sizes and height-adjustable spray nozzles, the Autocoater adapts to different batch requirements, while its recipe-based operations streamline production processes, including granulation, drying, and cooling. Constructed from SS 316/SS316L, it offers robust corrosion resistance, with mirror-finished contact parts to maintain product integrity and hygiene. Additionally, the integrated automatic washing system simplifies cleaning, reducing downtime between batches and enhancing operational efficiency.
