Coating machines - Tablet coaters

24 Machines
Tablet coating machines, also known as coating and film coating machines, are specialized process devices designed to apply protective or functional coatings to pharmaceutical and nutraceutical tablets. Makinate offers a wide selection of used tablet coating machines from leading manufacturers such as Glatt, Manesty, Accela Cota, IMA, and other specialized brands, providing reliable solutions for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food industries.

Operation of coating and film coating machines

Coating machines are process equipment primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry to coat tablets and in the food industry to coat products such as confectionery.... Tablet coating serves several essential functions: protecting the stomach from aggressive active ingredients, enabling delayed or controlled release of the medicine’s effect, masking unpleasant tastes, and enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the final product.

Structure and components

The machine consists of a drum in which tablets continuously rotate, and coating solutions are sprayed inside to uniformly cover the tablets. These machines are equipped with a hot air system to remove moisture and promote drying of the applied coating. A fan exhausts the air from the drum, ensuring optimal control of environmental conditions during the coating process.

Types of coating

Tablet coating machines can be used for various types of coatings:
  • Gastro-resistant coating: protects the stomach from aggressive active ingredients and ensures drug release in the intestine
  • Modified-release coating: allows controlled or delayed therapeutic effect release
  • Aesthetic and functional coating: masks taste, improves appearance, and facilitates swallowing

Applications

Coating and film coating machines are primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry for producing tablets with different therapeutic functionalities. In the nutraceutical sector, they are used for dietary supplements and vitamins that require protective coatings. In the food industry, they are used for confectionery, coated candies, and other sweet products that require decorative or protective coatings.Investing in used tablet coating machines through Makinate allows pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food companies to access advanced coating and film coating technologies at significantly lower costs compared to purchasing new machines, while maintaining high standards of quality, coating uniformity, and regulatory compliance to ensure safe and effective final products.
