Take Greater Control and Save Money With Exchangeable Drums
For many years, we focused on creating the optimal tablet coating machinery. Since then, we have worked on improving the overall process for your budget and the variety of requirements in the pharmaceutical industry. We looked at the pain points in the tablet coating market. We saw the need for a product that increased functionality and cleanability while keeping costs low. The solution we implemented was exchangeable drums for your tablet coating machinery.
Depending on the needs of your batch processing, your facility might process a variety of batch sizes that all require different levels of control. For instance, a mini-batch or smaller batches than production level, like for research and development. It is likely worth while to invest in an R&D tablet coater. However, if you already have a production level tablet coater, you can purchase exchangeable drums for your coater. These other coating drums come with their own benefits:
- Dedicated Drums
- -You can dedicate specific drums to individual batches of your tablets. This option reduces the chance of cross-contamination between different batches.
- Saves Time
-Without exchangeable drums, you would have to fully clean your drum between batches. Instead, you can simply swap out your coating drum and go straight into running your next batch process. - Lower Costs
-This increased functionality gives you the chance for more throughput with fewer coaters, saving money, and increasing productivity. - Greater Batch Control
-Part of quality control is removing the opportunity for cross-contamination and managing the sterilization of your separate batches. Exchangeable drums eliminate the risk of contamination, and removing the drum from the coater makes it easier to sterilize between batches. - Seamless Design
-We designed these coating drums to be simple to remove and straightforward to manage. This design limits the amount of maintenance required for your equipment and saves time for your staff. - Adjustable Batch Sizes
-Depending on the coater, we offer as many as seven exchangeable drum sizes for your different capacities.
