Film coater FSC-300 manufactured by T&T MACHINERY applies advanced film-coating technology to protect tablets, enhance product quality, improve aesthetics, and increase production efficiency.
A film coating machine is pharmaceutical equipment used to apply a thin film layer onto the surface of tablets. This coating layer helps protect the active ingredients, control the drug release rate, mask unpleasant tastes or odors, and improve the overall appearance of the product.
1. Coating Drum
The chamber that holds and rotates the tablets during the coating process.
Can be perforated or non-perforated to control airflow.
Adjustable rotation speed ensures even movement of the tablets.
2. Spray System
Consists of a pump, spray gun, and nozzle.
Sprays the coating solution evenly onto the tablets.
Can use either pressure spray or pneumatic spray technology.
3. Air Handling System
Includes hot air blower, heater, and air filters.
Dries the coating layer after spraying to form a uniform thin film.
Some machines feature humidity control systems.
4. Exhaust System
Removes solvent vapor and dust during the coating process.
Ensures a clean and safe working environment.
5. Control Panel
Equipped with a PLC touch screen or push buttons.
Allows adjustment of temperature, drum rotation speed, and spray rate.
✅ Tablet Film Coating
Applies a polymer film layer to protect the active ingredients.
Controls the drug release rate (e.g., enteric coating, controlled release coating).
Masks unpleasant taste and improves patient compliance.
✅ Enteric and Gastric-Resistant Coating
Prevents the tablet from dissolving in the stomach, only releasing in the intestine.
Suitable for acid-sensitive drugs such as anti-ulcer medications and digestive enzymes.
