About the QUEST TC
The QUEST TC is a tabletop coating machine designed for R&D and pilot-scale batches. Its perforated drum concept with three interchangeable drums and an exclusive Schlick nozzle allows processing of small batches from 200 g and generating reliable process data for scale-up.

Applications

• Tablet coating
• Mini-tablet coating (down to ~2 mm diameter)

Features & Benefits

• Three interchangeable drums (0.8 L, 1.6 L, 2.5 L) — handle a wide range of batch sizes with one unit.
• Mini-tablet capability — process tablets from approximately 2 mm diameter.
• Adjustable gun-to-bed distance and angle — flexible spray coverage across tablet bed and support for aqueous coatings with varied drying times.
• Smart design with easy access — simplified in-line handling and cleaning.
• Integrated weighing scale with PLC — facilitates process monitoring and parameter control.
• PLC-based control with touchscreen HMI — intuitive operation and control.
