Fludized bed coater

 PRECISION - Fluidized bed coater
It is Bottom-spray fluid bed coating
.
Precision coating of small particles such
as powders, granules, crystals, pellets
and small tablets
The PRECISION
COATER™(Patented) offers precise
coating of particles from 50 - 5000µ.
The coating liquid is sprayed up into to a
fluidized bed which uses advanced fluid
dynamics to control the flow and achieve
a high degree of coating uniformity.
Capacity: from 200g to several
ton/batch

 TOP SPRAY COATER

Top-spray fluid bed coating is Cost-effective pellet

coating
In the TOP SPRAY COATER™, particles to be coated
are suspended in the fluidized bed, and the coating liquid
is sprayed down on to them from above.
Capacity: from 50g to several ton/batch

 Roto - Processor™

Wet granulation pelletization is Granulating and

spheronizing a powder mixture
The active substance is mixed with 5-30%
microcrystalling cellulose and the mixture granulated with
water or an organic solvent.
The granules are then compacted and spheronized. This
operation can be performed using the Roto - Processor™
or Pellet - Processor™.

 GEA Niro Pharma Spray Dryer™

Spray drying coating is an efficient continuous

coating of fine powders
The GEA Niro Pharma Spray Dryer™ is used to coat
fine powders. The particles are suspended in a
polymer solution, then spray dried.
Capacity: up to several ton/hr

 Aeromatic-Fielder™ FlexStream™
 FlexStream™ (Patent Pending)

 Fluid Bed - Granulation, Drying and

Coating in ONE process container

 It is a new Multi-Purpose Processor

from GEA Pharma Systems that
uses proven fluid bed technology to
achieve granulation, drying and
pellet coating (or tablet coating) in
ONE processor.

Process Description

The FlexStream™ by Aeromatic-Fielder  consists of a fluid bed product bowl

with several two-fluid atomization nozzles to distribute the granulation or
coating liquid directly into the fluidized powder or pellet layer.
A third low-pressure air stream comes directly from the fluid bed inlet
plenum to create a particle-free area around the spray pattern of each
nozzle.
 Using low pressure results in much better control of the granulation and
coating processes with less fines, less agglomeration when coating pellets
resulting in a significantly improved yield .

 Thomas engineering

The coating process proposed by Thomas

Engineering has been used for coating large volume
OTC products such as ibuprofen and neutraceuticals.
The pan employs a different kind of baffle
arrangement compared with the vector equipment
and the angle of the pan is not adjustable.
 O’Hara Technologies

This is the most recently introduced coating

equipment and shows certain processing features in
common with the above two coaters, especially with
regard to the design of integral baffles .

The coating process is divided into four air zones and

six coating zones, which facilitate initial tablet
warming, coating application and final drying.

 Cimbria Continuous coater

Continuous Coaters are used for application of

protective chemicals like insecticides, pesticides and
fungicides to seed in a continuous process.
 
With their patented atomizing nozzle, they are
ideally suited for the liquid treatment and the
incrustation of all seed varieties. Even fragile seeds,
such as maize and pulses, are treated with care
during the admixture in the rotating mixing drum.

The continuous seed treater has been designed in

self-supporting all-steel construction. All metal parts
in direct contact with the treating agents (such as
mixing drum, atomizing nozzle etc.) are made of
rustproof material. The mixing drum is driven by a
geared motor via V-Belt. All drive motors, pump and
switching functions are permanently wired inside the
integrated switch cabinet.
