Tablet coating is a process that applies a dry outer layer to tablets to confer benefits like masking taste or controlling drug release. There are several components to the coating process, including tablet properties, coating equipment and methods, and coating compositions. Common coating equipment includes standard coating pans, perforated pans, fluidized bed coaters, and various specialized systems like immersion tubes. Tablet properties like shape and surface smoothness influence the coating process. Coating is applied using spray systems while heated air facilitates drying.

Tablets are solid dosage forms usually obtained by single or multiple compression of powders or granules. In certain cases tablets may be obtained by molding or extrusion techniques. They are uncoated or coated. Tablets are normally right circular solid cylinders, the end surfaces of which are flat or convex and the edges of which may be bevelled. They may have lines or break-marks (scoring), symbols or other markings.Tablets contain one or more active ingredients. They may contain excipients such as diluents, binders, disintegrating agents, glidants, lubricants, substances capable of modifying the behaviour of the dosage forms and the active ingredient(s) in the gastrointestinal tract, colouring matter authorized by the appropriate national or regional authority and flavouring substances. When such excipients are used it is necessary to ensure that they do not adversely affect the stability, dissolution rate, bioavailability, safety or efficacy of the active ingredient(s); there must be no incompatibility between any of the components of the dosage form.
Tablets are single-dose preparations intended for oral administration. Some are intended to be swallowed whole, some after being chewed and some after being crushed, some are intended to be dissolved or dispersed in water before being taken and some are intended to be retained in the mouth where the active ingredient(s) is/are liberated.

Nowadays, fluid bed dryers are widely used in the food processing industries. The primary reason for such popularity is that these machines improve the quality of products and reduce the drying time. Moreover, this equipment operates hygienically and ensures excellent safety. It is not only beneficial to the environment but also increases cost-effectiveness by reducing energy consumption. VJ Instruments consists of various products ball mill machine in pharmaceutics, cone blender, morris water maze.
A fluidized bed dryer (also called fbd fluid bed dryer) is a kind of equipment used extensively in the pharmaceutical industries to reduce pharmaceutical powder and granules’ moisture content. Drying is essential for wet granules for compression into the tablet and modifying viscous and sticky materials’ characteristics. Drying is commonly the last step in the unit process before compression into tablet form and packaging. VJ Instruments have many pharmaceutical instruments like coating tablet machine , double cone blender.
the spray drying process involves the atomization of a solution ,slurry or emulsion containing one or more components of the desired product in to droplets by spraying followed by the rapid evaporation of the sprayed droplets in to solid powder by hot air at a certain temp and pressure.
Pharmaceutical film coating is considered a key part in the production of solid pharmaceutical dosage forms since it gives superior organoleptic properties products. In addition, it can improve the physical and chemical stability of dosage forms, and modify the release characteristics of the drug. Several troubleshooting problems such as twinning mottling, chipping, etc., may arise during or after or even during the shelf life of the film coated dosage forms. These troubleshooting problems may be due to tablet core faults, coating formulation faults and/or coating process faults. These problems must be overcome to avoid unnecessary product problems. Film coating as well as other parts of the pharmaceutical technology is subjecting to continuous innovation. The innovation may be at different levels including pharmaceutical excipients, processes, software, guidelines and equipment. In fact, of particular note is the growing interest in process analytical technology, quality by design, continuous coating processing and the inclusion of new ready for use coating formulations. In this review, we tried to explore and discuss the status of pharmaceutical film coating, the challenges that face this manufacturing process and the latest technological advances in this important manufacturing process.

3. Tablet Coating
Tablet coating is a process by which an essentially dry, outer layer
of coating material is applied to the surface of a dosage form in
order to confer specific benefits that broadly range from
facilitating product identification to modifying drug release from
the dosage forms.
4. Reasons for Tablet Coating……
To mask the taste, odor or color of the drug
To provide physical and chemical protection for the drug
To control the release of the drug from the tablet
To protect the drug from gastric environment of the stomach
with an acid-resistant enteric coating
To incorporate another drug or formula adjuvant in the coating
to avoid chemical incompatibilities or to provide sequential
drug release
To improve the pharmaceutical elegance by use of special
colors and contrasting printing
5. Components of Tablet Coating Process
Three primary components in tablet coating process….
Tablet properties
Coating process
Coating equipment
Parameters of the coating process
Facility and ancillary equipment
Automation in coating process
Coating compositions
6. Tablet Properties
Tablets to be coated must possess following properties:
Tablets must be resistant to abrasion and chipping.
Tablets should have smooth surface for proper coating.
The tablets must be in constant motion during the early drying
phase to prevent tablet agglomeration.
The spherical shape of tablet is preferable for coating process.
This will allow the tablets to roll freely in the coating pan with
minimal tablet-to-tablet contact.
7. Coating Process
Tablet coating is the application of a coating composition to a
moving bed of tablets with the concurrent use of heated air to
facilitate evaporation of the solvent.
The distribution of the coating is accomplished by the movement
of the tablets are either perpendicular (coating pan) or vertical
(air suspension coater) to the application of the coating
composition.

9. Standard (Conventional) Pan Systems
• It consists of a circular metal pan mounted somewhat angularly
on a stand. The pan is 8 to 60 inches in diameter and is rotated on
its horizontal axis by a motor.
• Heated air is directed into the pan and onto the tablet bed and
exhausted by means of ducts positioned through the front of the
pan.
• Coating solutions are applied by ladling or spraying the material
onto the tablet bed. Use of the atomizing systems to spray the
liquid coating material onto the tablets produces a faster, more
even distribution of the solution or suspension.
11. Pellegrini Pan System
• The first coating pan rotating on a
horizontal axis equipped with
tapered side walls and an integral
baffle system.
• It has a baffled pan and a diffuser
that distributes the drying air
uniformly over the tablet surface.
12. Immersion Sword System
• In this system, drying air is
introduced through a perforated
metal sword device that is
immersed in the tablet bed.
• The drying air flows upward from
the sword through the tablet bed.
Since the air is more intimately
mixed with the wetted tablets, a
more efficient drying environment
is provided.
• Coating solutions are applied by an
atomized spray system directed to
the surface of the rotating tablet
bed.
13. Immersion Tube System
• With this system, a tube is
immersed in the tablet bed.
• The tube delivers heated air and a
spray nozzle is built in the tip of
the tube.
• Coating solution is applied
simultaneously with the heated air
from the immersed tube.
• The drying air flows upward and is
exhausted by a conventional duct.
14. Perforated Pan Systems
• These equipments consist of perforated or partially perforated
drums that are rotated on their horizontal axis in an enclosed
housing.
15. Accela-Cota and Hi-coater Systems
• In both systems drying air is
directed into the drum, is passed
through the tablet bed and is
exhausted through the perforations
in the drum.
Accela-cota system
Hi-coater system
16. Driacoater System
• It introduces drying air through
hollow perforated ribs located
on the inside periphery of the
drum.
• The ribs dip into the bed as the
pan rotates.
• Drying air passes up and
fluidizes the tablet bed.
• Exhaust is from the back of the
pan.
17. Glatt Coater
• The Glatt coater is the latest
perforated pan coater to be
introduced in the industry.
• In the Glatt coater, drying air can be
directed from inside the drum
through the tablet bed and out an
exhaust duct; alternatively, with an
optional split chambered plenum,
drying air can be directed in the
reverse manner up through the drum
perforations for partial fluidization of
the tablet bed. Several airflow
configurations are possible.
18. Fluidized Bed Systems
• These are highly efficient drying systems.
• Fluidization of the tablet mass is achieved in columnar
chamber by the upward flow of drying air. The airflow is
controlled so that more air enters the center of the column,
causing the tablets to rise in the center. The movement of the
tablets is upward through the center of the chamber. They then
fall toward the chamber wall and move downward to re-enter
the air stream at the bottom of the chamber.
• Coating solutions are continuously applied from a spray nozzle
located at the bottom of the chamber or nozzles can also be
present at the upper region of the chamber.
20. Coating Process
Spray Application Systems
High pressure, airless Low pressure, air atomized
21. High Pressure, Airless System
• Liquid is pumped at high pressure (250 to 3000 pounds per
square inch gauge) through a small orifice (0.009 inch to 0.020
inch id) in the fluid nozzle which results in finely divided
spray.
• The degree of atomization is controlled by the fluid pressure,
the orifice size and the viscosity of the liquid.
• Because of the small orifice, suspended solids in the coating
composition must be finely milled or filtered to prevent orifice
blockage.
22. Low Pressure, Air Atomized System
• In this system, Liquid is pumped through a larger orifice (
0.020 inch to 0.060 inch id) at relatively low pressure (5 to 50
psig).
• Low pressure air (10 to 100 psig) contacts the liquid stream at
the tip of the atomizer and finely divided spray is produced.
• The degree of atomization is controlled by the fluid pressure,
the fluid cap orifice, the viscosity of the liquid, air pressure
and air cap design.
