Coat-astrophe averted: a sprightly spin on tablet efficiency

While coating your tablets, uniformity is the key aspect to keep in mind, since uneven coating could yield a huge loss in your production line. We had a chance to see L.B. Bohle’s innovations up close, and we can tell you that you can leave all unevenly coated tablets in the past.

Achieve a larger spray area with an increased spray rate

L.B. Bohle has put the innovations into practice with the BFC tablet coater series. The drum geometry of the coater has a large spray area within the moving tablet bed, which allows for the utilization of more spray nozzles compared to shorter drums. Therefore you will have a larger total spray area and increased spray rate.

L.B. Bohle offers various solutions for adjusting the distance between the nozzle bed, the spray angle of the nozzles, and the pressure parameters for atomization. Typically, the amount of suspension mass in film-coated tablets ranges from 5% to 15% of the core mass. The film thickness is especially critical if you are making tablets with active ingredient coatings and thin-color (protective) coatings.
