The CSI Technicota LAB coats batches down to 40g when converted to a Wurster Column

The Technicota LAB from Coating Systems International (CSI) of Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, UK, meets the needs of customers who require the flexibility of coating small quantities of tablets.

The fully self-contained laboratory tablet coating machine requires only power and compressed air to operate.

All contact parts are in 316L stainless steel, or US FDA approved materials.

The unit can be used for the development of coating processes, and also for marketing and colour matching.

The system uses a 5.7in colour touchscreen to control all operations. Heat recovery is available from all heat sources reducing energy requirements and exhaust air temperature.

Batch sizes for drum coating are from 4kg down to 400g, but there is an option to convert the system to a Wurster Column and coat batches down to 40g.

Maintenance is kept to a minimum with quick-release operator parts and push-in connectors that eliminate the need for special tools. Rapid strip down and re-assembly saves time between batches and all parts can be cleaned ultrasonically.
