Coating machine for pharmaceutical applications

for tablets

- Small footprint (340x170x240) cm³ - Cleanroom class ISO 8 or higher - Modular design – can be attached to a cluster system or work as stand-alone - Flow control by dynamic feedback loop - Up to 3 coating stations per module - High flow rate range down to 0.5 µl/min - Coating precision up to 0.02 mg/cm² - Ultrasonic spray technology - Dynamic shutter system - Intuitive HMI design - Automatic handling system The IMSTec Drug Coating System represents a high end solution for coating applications such as drug and polymer coating for orthopaedic implants. Parameters, such as flow rate, spray velocity, drying time etc. are recipe based and can be dynamically loaded depending on the product. An automatic imaging system minimizes the error rate. An automatic material handling system maximizes the mean time to assist. IMSTec’s fully automated drug and polymer coating system targets coating applications in particular for medical devices such as orthopaedic implants. The centre of the machine is the main module with the robot that handles the parts between the logistical positions. Mounted on the main module are up to three coating cells containing the technique for fully automated coating. The ultrasonic spray technology combined with a shutter system ensures a precise and repeatable coating result. The highly flexible coating system allows coating of a wide variety of different products and fluids. For ease of use, with minimal user interaction, the coating systems are embedded into an automatic handling system: The operator is required to provide the product loaded onto a logistical tray into the main module.
