Introduction to the R&D Minilab Film coater FSC-300g

The R&D Minilab Film coater FSC-300g, manufactured by T&T MACHINERY, is designed for applying a thin film coating onto the surface of tablets, pellets, or granules in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and formulation research industries.

The FSC-300g Film coater is specifically designed for laboratory and R&D scale operations, allowing researchers to test and optimize film-coating formulations—especially when using high-value or expensive ingredients—before scaling up to industrial production.

⚙️ General Structure

1️⃣ Coating Pan / Drum

The coating pan is the chamber where the core tablets or pellets are loaded.

• Manufactured from Stainless Steel 304 or 316L compliant with GMP standards.

• The pan rotates continuously to ensure uniform mixing and movement of tablets during coating.

2️⃣ Spray System

The spray system consists of:

• coating solution pump

• spray gun

• spray nozzle

The system atomizes the coating solution into a fine mist, which is evenly sprayed onto the tablet surface.

3️⃣ Hot Air System

The hot air system includes:

• air blower

• heating unit

It supplies heated air to evaporate the solvent, allowing the coating layer to dry quickly and uniformly.

4️⃣ Exhaust and Dust Filtration System

This system removes:

• solvent vapors

• humid air

from the coating chamber, ensuring stable drying conditions and a clean production environment.

5️⃣ Control System

The machine is equipped with a PLC or electronic control system, allowing operators to set and control key parameters such as:

• pan rotation speed

• hot air temperature

• spray rate of coating solution

• coating time.
