What is a Coating Pan?

The Coating Pan is a highly efficient machine designed to coat tablets, pills, or candies with solutions of sugar, film, or enteric coating. Its robust construction and advanced features ensure uniform application and high-quality results.

Built with stainless steel for durability and hygiene, the Coating Pan includes components such as a semi-ellipsoidal pan, a reliable drive assembly, and a hot air blower system. Each part works in harmony to ensure efficient and consistent coating of products.

Key Features of Coating Pan

Semi-Ellipsoidal Pan

SS 304 stainless steel with circular mouth for easy loading/unloading, mounted at 45° inclination for optimal mixing and coating.

Reliable Drive Assembly

High-performance motor (3 Phase, 440V, 1440 RPM) with worm reduction gearbox and cone pulley for variable speed control.

Hot Air Blower System

Centrifugal blower with adjustable damper for precise airflow control and efficient heated air delivery.

Temperature Control

Maintains air temperatures of 30°C to 90°C with a thermostat-controlled heater for consistent regulation.

Hygienic Design

High-grade materials compliant with GMP standards and easy-to-clean surfaces for strict hygiene.

Compact and Efficient

Optimizes space while ensuring maximum productivity and uniform coating for superior product quality.

Component Detail

  • Semi-Ellipsoidal Pan: Made from SS 304 stainless steel for durability and easy cleaning; circular mouth design for convenient loading and unloading; mounted at a 45-degree inclination for optimal mixing.
  • Drive Assembly: High-performance motor (3 Phase, 440V, 1440 RPM) with worm reduction gearbox and cone pulley arrangement for variable speed control.
  • Hot Air Blower System: Centrifugal blower with adjustable damper, thermostat-controlled heater (30°C–90°C), and flexible hose pipe for efficient heated-air delivery.

Material of Construction

The Coating Pan is available in MS, SS304, SS316, SS316L, and Hastelloy. Various kinds of fluoropolymer coating on contact surfaces — including Halar, PP, ETFE, PFA, and PVDF — are available for corrosion-sensitive applications. For pharmaceutical GMP applications, SS 316L pharmaceutical-grade contact parts are standard.

How a Coating Pan Works

  1. Loading: Tablets or pills are loaded into the semi-ellipsoidal pan through the circular mouth.
  2. Rotation: The pan rotates at 45° inclination, tumbling the tablets continuously for even exposure.
  3. Spraying: Coating solution (sugar, film, or enteric) is applied onto the rolling tablet bed.
  4. Drying: The hot air blower delivers heated air (30°C–90°C) to dry the applied coating as the tablets tumble, building up the coating layer to the target weight gain.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Coating Pan used for?
A Coating Pan is used to coat tablets, pills, or candies with sugar, film, or enteric coating solutions. In the pharmaceutical industry it applies coatings for controlled release, taste masking, moisture protection, and aesthetic enhancement. It is also used in the food industry for coating candies and confectionery, and in nutraceuticals for coating dietary supplements.
What is the temperature range of Bipin Pharma Coating Pan?
The Bipin Pharma Coating Pan hot air blower system maintains air temperatures between 30°C and 90°C, with a thermostat-controlled heater for consistent temperature regulation. A centrifugal blower with an adjustable damper provides precise airflow control, and a flexible hose pipe delivers the heated air to the tablet bed.
What is the material of construction of Bipin Pharma Coating Pan?
The Bipin Pharma Coating Pan semi-ellipsoidal pan is made from SS 304 stainless steel for durability and easy cleaning. The full range is available in MS, SS304, SS316, SS316L, and Hastelloy, with fluoropolymer coatings (Halar, PP, ETFE, PFA, PVDF) available on contact surfaces. For GMP applications, SS 316L is used.
What types of coating can be done in a Coating Pan?
A Coating Pan can perform sugar coating (multiple sucrose layers for a rounded, elegant finish), film coating (a thin polymer film for taste masking and moisture protection), and enteric coating (acid-resistant polymer that releases the drug in the intestine rather than the stomach). The pan's variable speed and controlled hot air allow optimization for each coating type.
