Tablet coaters
Flex 500 tablet coater features six exchangeable drums with batch capacities
ranging from 40 to 920 liters. Drums remove and replace easily, significantly
increasing production flexibility and reducing downtime between batches. Fully
perforated and side-vented drums provide turbulence-free, high-volume airflow,
allowing efficient application of film, sugar, functional, and API-layer coatings.
Compu-Coat recipe-driven control system is set up for multi-language operation.
Smooth drum surfaces and water-tight inflatable seals on access doors allow for
fully contained wash-in-place procedure.

Bottom-spray coating system
Hüttlin bottom-spray coating system overcomes some of the challenges associated
with Wurster fluid-bed coating systems. Diskjet air distribution plate comes
equipped with three-component nozzles that offer high spray rates cocurrent with
the airflow. Because the spray zone is protected by an air shield, or microclimate,
there is no need for inserts. Coater features no mechanical settings. Process
transfer from a Wurster to the Hüttlin bottom-spray system is simple and can be
proven with matched CQA. Due to the reduced number of variables, processes for
new products can be developed using QbD principles. Scale-up is accurate and
supported by Hüttlin NexStep software. Bottom-spray system also handles large
weight gain applications without batch splitting, which avoids time-consuming
intermediate handling and keeps the process contained. Coating system provides
high coating homogeneity and tight weight gain distribution, leading to a faster
process with higher yields, lower costs, and superior product quality. Bottom-
spray coating system integrates with company's Solidlab 2 lab machine.
