About the SMARTCOATER 500 X•ONE
Backed by more than 60 years of ACG engineering expertise, the SMARTCOATER 500 X•ONE is an X•ONE-series tablet-coating system designed to deliver fast, economical and reproducible coating processes. The machine handles batches up to 500 L and integrates modular automation and advanced process control to support production and compliance requirements.

Applications

• Film coating of tablets
• Sugar coating of tablets
• Micro-tablet coating
• Pellet coating

Features & Benefits (summary)

• Unique coating system (baffles, spray arms, drum) — Flexibility to operate with 15–100% batch occupancy
• High-performing spray-arm with full external control via infinity handle — Accurate bed coverage across all batch sizes; positionable to product requirements
• ACG X•ONE 2.0 spray nozzle with Anti‑Bearding Cap (developed with Düsen‑Schlick GmbH) — Reduced product build-up and easier maintenance; lighter handling (approx. 800 g)
• Modular, automated charging/discharging with inbuilt discharge baffles — Dust-free closed-door charging and near-100% tablet discharge
• Advanced wash-in-place (WIP) with optimized nozzle arrangement — Complete wetting of dead spots for faster, safer cleaning
• ACG process control system — Compliant with ATEX, GAMP 5 and 21 CFR Part 11 for secure monitoring and traceability
