- The Conventional Coating Pan features a robust steel construction with GMP-compliant design, ensuring safe and reliable tablet coating operations in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
- Integrated VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) eliminates the need for external drive systems, reducing installation costs and providing precise speed control from 1-20 RPM.
- Built-in electrical heating system eliminates external steam requirements, simplifying facility integration and reducing utility costs significantly.
- The coating pan features a conical-shaped design with a large opening angle, promoting optimal tablet movement and uniform coating distribution across the batch.
- Interchangeable pan inserts enable quick changeover between different pan sizes (10" to 48"), allowing flexible batch processing on a single machine.
- The pan liner is constructed from stainless steel, ensuring durability, hygiene compliance, and easy cleaning between batches.
- Transparent polycarbonate panel provides clear process visualization, enabling operators to monitor coating progress and tablet movement in real-time.
- Integrated dust collection connection enables seamless integration with facility dust extraction systems without external modifications.
- Spray gun mounting positions are strategically designed for optimal coating solution application and uniform product coverage.
- The motor is mounted externally to prevent product contamination, ensuring pharmaceutical purity throughout the coating process.
- Discharge is by manual pan tilting, kept simple and tool-free for the operator.
- Temperature control system maintains consistent pan temperature, protecting tablets from thermal degradation during the coating process.
- Safety features include automatic shutoff and emergency stop mechanisms for operator protection and equipment safety.
- Drainage system at the base of the pan enables easy removal of excess moisture and residual coating solution after each batch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this coating pan lower-cost than an Autocoater?
Built-in electrical heating removes the need for a steam line, and the integrated VFD drive removes the need for an external drive system, so installation is simpler. Interchangeable pan inserts also let one frame cover several batch sizes instead of buying a machine per size.
What speed and batch range does it cover?
Six pan sizes, 12 in to 60 in, running 1-20 rpm via VFD — the same range as the Autocoater. Loading capacity runs from about 2 kg on the 12 in pan up to 200 kg on the 60 in pan; hot-air blower capacity scales with pan size, from 50 CFM up to 750 CFM.
Can this pan be integrated with existing facilities?
Yes. The integrated dust-collection connection ties into a facility extraction system, and the built-in electrical heating removes the need for a steam line. The motor is mounted externally to keep it out of the product zone.
How is the batch discharged?
By manual pan tilting — the same as the Autocoater. Discharge is not what separates the two machines; the Autocoater's edge is in spray-gun changeover and airflow/emissions control, not automated unloading.
What are the product-contact parts made of?
The pan liner is stainless steel for hygiene and easy cleaning; the outer frame is GMP-compliant steel construction. A drainage port at the pan base clears residual moisture and coating solution after each batch.
Conventional Coating Pan or Autocoater?
Choose this pan for R&D/pilot batches, a tighter budget, or when interchangeable inserts covering 12-60 in on one frame matter more than full automation. Choose the Autocoater for high-volume routine production, quick-connect spray-gun changeover and a built-in wet scrubber — discharge is manual on both. See our guide comparing the two.
