ACCELA CTC 500
Built for Pharmaceutical-Grade Coating Applications
The ACCELA CTC 500 extends the capabilities of the industry standard FLEX CTC. Equipped with an advanced design, the ACCELA CTC 500 provides pharmaceutical companies with an improved good manufacturing process (GMP) that eliminates material waste and reprocessing during startup and shutdown. Thomas Processing’s ACCELA CTC 500 is the only coater on the market made with an integrated wax addition system, complete WIP systems, that reduces the equipment’s footprint and streamlines the coating process.
- Integrated with a 7,000 CFM air handling system
- Improved air plenum design to ensure stable airflow control through the tablet bed
- Uniform airflow design for improved temperature and humidity control
- Compact design that reduces production plant GMP space requirements
- Multizone systems for full GMP compliance
- Automated recipe control
- Drum and cabinet interior sanitary piping assemblies
- Multi-directional rotating spray nozzles for total wash coverage
- Four individual sanitary zone control valves
Our Thomas Accela-CTC 500 features a versatile inline tablet-cooling chamber that reduces the footprint of the equipment and streamlines coating processes by:
- Integrating the chamber with the coating drum
- Cooling down the tablets prior to discharge from the coater
- Pointing six compressed air nozzles at the tablets to remove heat
With the inline tablet cooling chamber, tablet temperatures are reduced by as much as 15 degrees Celsius.
- Toolless spray gun disassembly and service
- Indexable mounting hardware for repeatable positioning
- Sanitary tri-clamp solution feed and recirculation connections
- Sanitary tri-clamp connections with “O” ring seals
- Schlick solution and air delivery components
- Schlick 930 anti-bearding spray guns

Building on the Tradition of Innovation
Our tradition in building on tablet manufacturing innovations is well demonstrated by our industry-leading Accela-Cota tablet coating systems. The Thomas Accela-Cota, featuring a fully perforated coating drum, revolutionized the coating manufacturing process when it was introduced in 1969. This system continues to set the standard for tablet coating today with unrestricted airflow, thermodynamic efficiency, and flexibility. Thomas drives innovation in the tablet coating industry with the vision to improve our customers’ competitive edge by providing the most technologically advanced equipment.
Zero Waste Gun Sequencing Solutions
With other machines, being able to confirm that your tablets are fully coated and uniform is a real challenge. Traditional spray systems start and push tablets through the machine, causing some tablets to get shunted to one side, thus spending less time under the spray zone. That means you are forced to throw away the first 50 kg of your product. With the ACCELA CTC 500’s sophisticated zero waste gun-sequencing process, your spray guns are turned on and off at different times so all of your tablets are fully and evenly coated.
