What is a Conventional Coating Pan?
A Conventional Coating Pan is a rotating stainless steel pan used for applying coating materials onto pharmaceutical tablets. During operation, tablets rotate continuously inside the pan while coating solution is sprayed manually or automatically. Simultaneously, heated air dries the coating to achieve a smooth, uniform finish.
The machine is widely used for:
- Film coating
- Sugar coating
- Protective coating
- Color coating
- Enteric coating
- Herbal tablet coating
- Nutraceutical tablet coating
Due to its simple design and proven performance, the conventional coating pan continues to be one of the most preferred tablet coating machines in pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities.
Working Principle of Conventional Coating Pan
The working principle of a conventional coating pan is simple yet highly effective.
The coating pan rotates at a controlled speed using an electric motor and gearbox. Tablets tumble continuously inside the rotating pan while the coating solution is sprayed evenly over their surface.
A hot air system supplies heated air into the pan, which evaporates moisture from the coating solution. Simultaneously, the rotating motion ensures that every tablet receives a uniform coating layer.
The entire coating cycle continues until the desired coating thickness is achieved.
The process ensures:
- Uniform tablet coating
- Smooth tablet finish
- Excellent coating adhesion
- Reduced coating defects
- Improved tablet appearance
