About the QUEST TC III
Designed for R&D and pilot-scale batches, the QUEST TC III provides a perforated-drum tablet-coating system with four interchangeable drums (2, 9, 24 and 56 L) to generate process data and support reliable scale-up.

Applications

• Tablet coating
• Minitablet coating

Features & Benefits

• Interchangeable, fully perforated drums (2, 9, 24, 56 L) with optimized horizontal airflow — defined spray and drying zones reduce coating solution consumption and residues in the drum, process chamber and ductwork
• Split-design X•ONE nozzle (developed with Düsen‑Schlick GmbH, Germany) — separate dock and nozzle reduce re‑alignment
• Wash-in-place (WIP) system with integrated washing nozzles — simplifies cleaning and reduces downtime
• ACG X•ONE process control with large interface screen — GAMP5 and 21 CFR Part 11 compliant for intuitive, secure monitoring and data handling

Also available

• MINIQUEST T — 0.7 L (small scale)
• QUEST TC — 0.8 L, 1.6 L, 2.5 L (small scale)

Notes on design and operation
Perforated drums provide optimized horizontal airflow and well-defined spray/drying zones to lower solvent and coating consumption and reduce residues. The split X•ONE nozzle ensures reliable spraying with reduced re‑alignment. Integrated WIP simplifies cleaning. X•ONE process control supports regulatory-compliant operation and secure data handling.
