Allrounder Tablet Coater’s High Spray Volume Shortens Process Times

The Bohle Tablet Coater (BTC) stands for economic coating. A flat tablet bed, patented air system and high spray volume ensure high quality and shorten process times by up to 35%.

Three basic operations are vital for successful film coating processes — spraying, drying and mixing. Every individual step must be carefully planned and optimised in coordination with the others. According to L.B. Bohle Maschinen + Verfahren, it has continuously set standards in this area and the BTC 400 is the economic allrounder with a working volume of up to 650 l.

Bohle coaters guarantee excellent product processing with exceptionally high profitability. The flat tablet bed with long drum geometry ensures optimal core movement. The systematic compulsory guide in the drum enables continuous product movement. There is no tablet twinning and therefore only minor losses in solids and coatings.

The patent air system features significant process-related advantages. The danger of spray drying of the suspension no longer exists. This reduces spray losses and improves coating structure. Tablets are handled more carefully, thanks to the pan geometry and the patented mixing elements in two directions. Through the directional change of pan rotation, tablets can be discharged completely and without containments.

Major advantages of the BTC 400 include through-the-wall installation, integrated switch cabinet and simple and functional housing. All nozzles of the BTC are supplied with suspension via a pump head. The machine can be easily controlled and monitored as the multipanel visualisation with touch panel operator unit is attached to coater.
