WORKING PRINCIPLE OF TABLET COATING MACHINE, PILL COATING MACHINE, TABLET COATING EQUIPMENT, OR CONVeNTIONAL COATING PAN
Here is the working principle of tablet coating pan machine or pill coating machine
Tablet Loading First, load the tablets into a rotating drum or pan. This drum keeps the tablets in constant motion, thus ensuring even exposure to the coating process.
Spraying Coating Solution Next, spray a specially formulated coating solution onto the tablets as they tumble inside the rotating drum. Position the spray nozzles strategically to ensure an even application across all tablets.
Drying Process Then, introduce hot air into the drum to speed up the drying process. This hot air helps evaporate the solvent in the coating solution, thereby ensuring the coating adheres properly to the tablets. Carefully control the temperature and airflow to maintain the quality of the coating.
Even Coating As the drum rotates, mix the tablets thoroughly. Strategically place baffles inside the drum to ensure uniform coating. This consistent mixing ensures each tablet receives an even layer of the coating, which is crucial for maintaining the quality and effectiveness of the medication.
Final Drying Finally, after adequately coating the tablets, subject them to a final drying process. This step ensures the coating is completely dry and stable before removing the tablets from the machine. This final drying phase is essential to ensure the coating remains intact and does not degrade over time.

Coating Chamber First, the coating chamber houses the rotating drum or pan where the coating process occurs. You place the tablets in this chamber to start the coating procedure.
Spray System Next, the spray system includes atomizing spray guns that apply the coating solution to the tablets. You position the spray nozzles strategically to ensure an even application.
Heating System Then, you introduce hot air into the coating chamber to evaporate the solvent in the coating solution. This step ensures the coating adheres properly to the tablets.
Control System Meanwhile, the control system manages parameters like temperature, humidity, and airflow. You maintain consistent coating quality by adjusting these parameters as needed.
Air Handling Unit Additionally, the air handling unit regulates air circulation and filtration. You ensure a clean coating environment to prevent contamination.
Mixing Baffles As the coating process continues, you place the baffles strategically inside the drum. These baffles help mix the tablets, ensuring an even coating.
Drive System Finally, the drive system includes motors and variable frequency drives (inverters) that control the rotation of the drum and the spray system. You adjust these controls to optimize the coating process.

types of TABLET COATING
Sugar Coating: You may apply multiple layers of sugar solution to the tablet. This process masks the taste and odor, enhances the appearance, and provides a protective layer. This traditional method involves several steps, including sealing, subcoating, smoothing, coloring, and polishing.
Film Coating: We cam apply a thin polymer-based coating to protect the tablet, thereby controlling its release and improving its appearance. This method is quicker and less bulky than sugar coating. Additionally, we can tailor film coatings. This will deliver the active ingredient at a specific site in the gastrointestinal tract or to release it over an extended period.
Enteric Coating: You can apply a special film coating. This will prevent the tablet from dissolving in the acidic environment of the stomach. This ensur it only dissolves in the more neutral pH of the intestines. This protects the stomach from potential irritation caused by the medication.
Gelatin Coating: We can coat the tablet with a gelatin solution. Often used for soft gel capsules, making the tablets easier to swallow and allowing us to encase liquids. This type of coating benefits patients who have difficulty swallowing traditional tablets. Moreover, gelatin coatings provide a smooth, glossy finish.
Compression Coating: You can compress a coating material around the tablet core. This will provide a strong barrier and allowing for controlled release. This method involves applying a dry coating material, which is compressed onto the tablet core to form a robust outer layer.
Controlled Release Coating: We use coatings to modify the release of the active ingredient. This will ensure it is released over a specific period or at a specific site in the digestive tract. Controlled release coatings provide a sustained release of the drug.
