Pharmaceutical Pill Coating
|
From Hoffer Flow Controls, Inc.
A pharmaceutical application for coating pills. This coating plays an important role in many medications. Pill coating makes taking pills more pleasant and more importantly it makes certain the pill is digested correctly. The pill coating also protects the chemicals in the tablet. Some medications need to be digested slowly, pill coating assists in this time release function. Thus, various pills have different requirements regarding their coating. Customer requires an accurate metering system to measure air for their pill coating process and a system that can be easily incorporated into their operation. Accuracy is very important in this process. Meter must allow a set amount of air which is sent to a sprayer. Air is used to control the amount of liquid coating applied to the pills. Reaction time of the flowmeter was also an issue. Products & Services
