Coating is an important unit operation used to either
modify colour, give protection, for taste masking or to create a modified
release form. In pharmaceutical production, GEA Pharma Systems is able to
offer all the typically used coating technologies and assist with the selection
of the process that best suits our customer needs.

An
Accurate Method of Coating Tablets with Active Pharmaceutical
Ingredients
Coating technology is used extensively in the
pharmaceutical industry, e.g. for the application of non-functional or
functional coats (aesthetic, protective or rate controlling polymer films) and
for the deposition of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) onto nonpareils
(multi-particulate dosage forms). In addition to efficient techniques for API
layering of multiparticulate systems, an accurate method of coating objects 3
to 30 mm in length with APIs is also desired in the pharmaceutical industry as
this is the size range of most single-unit solid dosage forms. These include
tablets for oral administration and forms for other methods of delivery
including human implantation ... Read more and download
