1.0 INTRODUCTION
Tablet coating systems vary in function and purpose. There are several uses of
coaters:
Strengthening coat
De-dust/flavor mask
Color and elegance
Active drug coats
Protective
Timed Release
Sugar coat
These systems range from a simple aqueous (water based) coat, to drug layers,
and solvent based coating systems.
Aqueous systems typically have less complexity, whereas active drug coating
layers have a need for more instrumentation and controls, and lastly solvent
based systems employ even more instrumentation and controls required
primarily for safety reasons (explosion protection).
Also, the product itself may pose environmental and exposure hazards that need
to be dealt with to implement the installation of the coating system.
Lastly, the utilities and space involved needs to be discussed prior to purchasing
the equipment. Obviously, the actual equipment size is but a small part of the
entire scope of work necessary to implement a larger coating operation. Small
coaters can be self-contained, depending upon the application. The unit and its
support equipment must be able to be installed in current building facilities.
This document encompasses the normal range of coater operations. Technology
improvements and new applications may require deviation from this template.
This is to be utilized as a guide for the user to answer the majority of questions
involved in specifying and using the equipment. Addendums may be used to
round out the requirements.
A typical Aqueous Process involves the following steps:
