Laboratory development coating system for tablet coating
Efficiently manage small-scale batch coating with versatile, fully perforated pans designed for precision in film, sugar, and solvent applications, enabling seamless transitions between development and clinical production demands.
The LDCS-Plus HI-COATER® from Freund-Vector is a versatile laboratory coating system designed to meet the precise demands of pharmaceutical development. It features interchangeable, fully perforated coating pans ranging from 1.5 to 20 liters, accommodating batch sizes from 10% to 100% brim volume. This system excels in coating applications for a variety of tablets and capsules, including aspirin, ibuprofen, and multivitamins, across pharmaceutical, biotech, chemical, and food industries.
Equipped with an anti-bearding spray gun and precision mixing baffles, the LDCS-Plus ensures uniform coating and minimized material waste. The system operates efficiently with its integrated peristaltic solution pump and quick-change mounting system, enabling rapid transition between processes. Optional Smart-Safe™ containment and EcoClean™ technology enhance safety and environmental considerations.
The LDCS-Plus supports both automatic, recipe-driven, and manual operation modes, validated by precise control over airflow, pan pressure, and temperature settings. Real-time coating thickness monitoring and optional inline PAT integration provide unparalleled process transparency and reliability. Designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, this portable, self-contained unit is ideal for research & development labs, contract manufacturing organizations, and academic institutions seeking to optimize their coating processes.
