Syntegon, a provider of pharmaceutical packaging solutions and process technology, highlights its Sepion Tablet Coater. This innovative drum coater is designed for closed charging, sampling, and discharging, and represents a significant leap forward in tablet coating technology, offering unparalleled efficiency, flexibility, and quality in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
One of the Sepion's standout features is its unique, extended drum length. This design creates a shallower tablet bed while accommodating an increased number of spray guns. The result is higher spray rates and dramatically reduced process times, leading to improved productivity and efficiency in tablet coating operations.
The Sepion Tablet Coater boasts an automated spray arm, a feature that greatly enhances coating precision and ease of use. This intelligent system automatically adjusts the optimum spray arm positioning based on the filling level, which can be controlled via the human-machine interface (HMI). This automation maintains the ideal spray angle without manual intervention, improving coating consistency and operator safety.
For even greater precision, the Sepion can be equipped with an optional laser that measures the gun-to-bed distance. This feature allows for fully automated, recipe-driven adjustments, eliminating the need for manual operator intervention and further enhancing the repeatability and reliability of the coating process.
The Sepion's flexibility is another key advantage, accommodating filling levels between 10% and 100% of the drum volume without requiring baffle or drum changes. This versatility allows pharmaceutical manufacturers to efficiently handle a wide range of batch sizes, from small-scale production runs to full commercial batches without slowing operations or using excessive storage space.
Additionally, the Sepion incorporates a superior spray system equipped with Anti-Bearding-Cap spray nozzles, which help prevent material buildup and ensure consistent spray performance. The coater also features a fully automatic cleaning system, reducing downtime between batches and ensuring thorough, reproducible cleaning results.
