Product coating

Conditions and challenges

Coating of capsules, granules, sweets and tablets is applied using a water-based process with the coating suspension sprayed over the pieces of product in a rotating pan. Coating processes can be shortened and made more consistent by adding dry air.

What we can do for you

The risk of contamination of the conditioning system by any wet return air would be eliminated by using Munters desiccant dehumidifier. Regardless of the season, the climate conditions in the coater will be stable all year round thereby securing optimal conditions. This will lead to an increase in productivity and reduced energy costs by 10-15 percent.

Our solution

Munters desiccant dehumidified offers the most precise way of achieving and controlling the accurate humidity conditions. By our solution, dry air is blown on or through the bulk product to evaporate the moisture and allow the coating to dry on the base.

Your benefit

• Shorter drying times
• Year-round consistent production
• Production increase of 15-20 percent
• Easier to comply with GMP regulations
• Energy savings of 10-15 percent
• Mixing moisture regain is prevented
