Wurster coating system for fine powders and pellets
Achieve precision coating for multiparticulate cores and mini-tablets, optimizing uniformity and minimizing agglomeration in high-speed batch or continuous operations.
Optimizes Coating Processes for Particulate Products
Freund’s Wurster Accelerator System revolutionizes particulate coating with its patented design that maximizes production efficiency for pharmaceutical and chemical applications. Integrating seamlessly into fluid bed processors, it utilizes compressed air to enhance spray distribution across powders, pellets, and mini-tablets, ensuring minimal agglomeration and superior coating uniformity. This system accommodates batch and continuous operations, suitable for crafting extended-release tablets, enteric-coated pills, and polymer-coated products. Engineered to support high-throughput demands, its robust automation is facilitated by PLC controls, enabling remote adjustments and monitoring. The Wurster Accelerator is constructed with corrosion-resistant materials, adhering to GMP and FDA standards, and features easy-to-maintain components for streamlined clean-in-place routines. Options for customization and engineering support ensure adaptability to specific production requirements, making it an indispensable asset for manufacturers seeking precision and efficiency.
