Introduction Of Tablet Coating Machine

Tablet coating machine is a pharmaceutical equipment and usually used after the process of tablet compression. By a tablet coating machine, a thin layer of coating material(usually a kind of coating solution) is sprayed on the surface of tablets, which can change the appearance, color, smell and taste of tablets, making them more attractive to sell. In addition, tablet coating process can also obviously reduce the drug degradation and corrosion to make tablets have longer lifespan.

Choose Your Tablet Coating Machine

Tablet coating machine is applied not only in pharmaceutical field (functional coating such as enteric coating, moisture-resistant coating), but also in many other fields such as nutraceutical & food Industry (sugar coating), cosmetics & personal care, etc. The appearance, smell, durability and others can be changed through the coating process.

The process in the tablet coating machine includes the following basic periods: warming, spraying/coating, drying, cooling and discharging. Senieer innovates in many parts. For example, Senieer adds a “adjustable air switch” device on the Host air inlet guide bucket to effectively control the temperature inside the bed consistent with that of outer space , avoiding the hot air for short circuit.

Guidelines For Tablet Coating Machine

Tablet Coating Machine is mainly used to add a thin layer of coating material on the tablets after the process of tablet compression. It is widely used in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and food Industries. Senieer Tablet Press Machine stands out in the pharmaceutical industry for its innovative and user-friendly design.

Tablet coating machines are designed to apply uniform coatings on tablets for the aim of protection, taste masking, controlled release, or aesthetic purposes. Senieer tablet coating machine features high efficiency, adjustable process parameters (such as temperature, spray rate, airflow rate, etc), automated controls, etc. And all designs are compliant with GMP standards.

Senieer tablet coating machine integrates energy-saving designs (e.g., optimized airflow systems) and hygienic stainless-steel construction to prevent cross-contamination. It is applied in various industries such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals (vitamin coatings), and specialty products (effervescent tablets). Senieer tablet coating machine also supports functional coatings like moisture barriers or light-sensitive layers.

Senieer adopts many innovative technology. For example, the incoming and outgoing air are controlled by frequency conversion, and the microvoltage transmitter and the microcomputer PLC automatically control the volume and flow of air supply. The inlet temperature is ± 2℃, improving the temperature and the stability of air supply in the process of coating, shortening the coating time and ensuring the coating quality.
A tablet coating machine usually comprises the following key components:
  • Coating Drum/Pan: A rotating perforated drum that holds tablets and ensures even coating distribution through controlled tumbling.
  • Spray System: Consists of nozzles (pneumatic or hydraulic) to atomize coating solutions and a pump for precise solution delivery.
  • Drying/Airflow System: Heated air is blown into the drum via air handling units to evaporate solutions, while exhaust systems remove moist air. And filters ensure dust-free airflow.
  • Control Panel: A PLC/HMI interface monitors and can adjusts parameters like drum speed, temperature, spray rate, and airflow.
  • Dust Extraction System: Removes excess particles to maintain coating quality and operator safety.
  • Although there are different types of tablet coating machine in the pharmaceutical or other related industries, their working principle is more or less the same to each other. The following is the basic working principle for tablet coating machine:
  • Warming: The drum and airflow system preheat to a set temperature to prepare for coating.
  • Loading: Tablets are loaded into the rotating drum, which tumbles them gently via baffles or lifters to ensure uniform exposure of tablets.
  • Coating/spraying: The spray system atomizes the coating solution into fine droplets, directed onto the tablets.
  • Drying: the heated air is blown into the coating drum under the negative pressure to dry the coating solution on the surface of tablets, so that solid and smooth coating film is produced.
  • Cooling and discharging: the cooling air solidifies the coating solution on the surface of tablets, and the coated tablets are discharged by a chute or automated system.
  • Senieer’s products stands out in the peers due to its innovative designs and high-quality performance. The main engine of Senieer tablet coating machine adopts pressing molding bar plate which is conducive to improve the material mixing effect. Spiral stirrer is a kind of coating machine designed by Senieer, which features advanced function, reasonable design and good effect. Except these, there are many other exclusive innovative designs by Senieer engineers.
    Senieer is the world’s leading manufacturer and supplier for pharmaceutical equipment. It innovates not only in technical part, but also offers affordable and reasonable price. It offers standard products as well as supports customized service as per customers’ requirements.
