When you partner you with us, your investment extends beyond the system of machines and controls—you also benefit from our experience and proficiency in tablet coating systems.

Zero Waste Gun Sequencing Solutions

Thomas’s FLEX CTC is equipped with an automatic in-feed to introduce tablets to the bed on a gentle, steady basis. Its weight belt interface permits tablet loading automation with our COMPU-COAT controls. The FLEX CTC’s zero waste gun sequencing system ensures zero product loss during start-up and shutdown. Its long, shallow bed (5-6 inches) and 22 spray nozzles translate into an increased number of passes through the spray zone for every tablet, ensuring excellent tablet uniformity. Its low residence time and shallow tablet bed means minimal tablet erosion and minimal heat exposure to assure complete access and cleanability.
