Tablet coating system for aqueous, solvent, and sugar films

Achieve precision coating with flexible application capabilities for tablets, allowing efficient film layering with minimized marking and uniform finish, essential for diverse production environments.

Coats Tablets and Supplements Efficiently

The Fully Perforated HI-COATER® from Freund is designed to meet the diverse coating demands of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. Specializing in the film, sugar, and solvent coating processes, this system enhances coating uniformity and efficiency through its innovative AT-PRO™ Anti-Bearding Spray Gun. It accommodates batch ranges from 10% to 100% of brim volume, making it versatile for varying production needs. Operating with a precise control system, it integrates seamlessly into both batch and continuous operations with options for inline PAT monitoring. The EcoClean™ technology and no-drip design contribute to reduced resource consumption and improved process safety. Engineered for compliance with GMP standards, it features a sanitary mirror-smooth finish for easy cleaning. The system can be further customized with options for the Smart-Safe™ containment system and COMPUTMAutomated Control System, ensuring it meets specific production and regulatory requirements.
