How Does Automatic Tablet Film Coating Machine Work?
Our tablet film coating machine features high efficiency, low energy consumption, a small footprint, and more.
The Tablet film coating machine works on the simple principle of applying the coating solution through a set of spray guns on tablets inside the coating pan in a bed that may move horizontally or vertically.
A concurrent flow of heated air helps to evaporate and dry the coating solution. The coating is equally distributed to the tablets through the rotation of the pan. The rotating motion causes the tablets to tumble within the pan. The coating solution is applied to the rotating tablet bed by spraying it in atomized form, which provides a faster and more even distribution. Spraying nozzles are positioned inside the drum to evenly coat the tablets as they are tumbling inside.
Applications of Automatic Tablet Film Coating Machine
The tablet film coating machine is widely used in such industries as pharmaceutical, food, biological and others.
