At interpack, Romaco is unveling the world premiere of its Maximus 400 tablet coater, a highly automated technology offers special advantages for a coating with pharmaceutical ingredients that often add a lot of weight to the tablets. Romaco will also exhibit its Ventilus Lab fluid bed processor for laboratory applications.
Romaco says the Tecpharm’s Maximus 400 tablet coater specializes in the coating of pharmaceutical ingredients that cause the product to gain considerable weight. This is often the case with combinations of ingredients containing Metformin, which cannot be formulated as bi-layer tablets due to their size. So, the second layer of the formulation is sprayed on, to enable these medicines to be swallowed easily.
The Maximus 400 boasts an automated air distribution system that steers the process air with precision through the tablet bed using exhaust flaps that open steplessly. It also features Tecpharm’s innovative PCA spray arm. The smart technology continuously measures the distance from the tablet bed using radar, and constantly adjusts both the distance and the spray angle. Mechanically, this is achieved by the three-pivot-point design of the spray arm.
To showcase its broad and varied portfolio of laboratory machines, Romaco is also presenting the Ventilus Lab fluid bed processor from Innojet at interpack. This exceptionally versatile all-rounder is used for granulating, drying and coating particles of any size from 10 µm to 2 mm. This multipurpose lab unit is intended for batch sizes from 0.7 to 7.0 liters.
