Syntegon Revolutionizes Tablet Coating with the Launch of Sepion Coater
In a significant advancement for pharmaceutical manufacturing, Syntegon has unveiled its latest innovation: the Sepion tablet coater. Designed to meet the increasingly complex demands of the pharmaceutical industry, the Sepion coater combines cutting-edge technology with years of expertise from the former Manesty brand and Hüttlin's mastery in mixing, spraying, and drying.
The Sepion tablet coater sets a new standard in the industry, delivering faster, more robust processes with an optimized drum geometry and spray system. By achieving higher spray rates and significantly reduced process times, it ensures the highest levels of efficiency for coating tablets with active ingredients, taste masking, and controlled release functionalities.
Flexibility at its Best
What truly sets the Sepion coater apart is its verified batch size flexibility. With the ability to handle filling levels ranging from 10 to 100%, it eliminates the need to adjust mixing baffles. This ensures a smooth, uninterrupted process, while also guaranteeing uniform blends and high-quality coatings. The machine's unique drum design also results in a shallower tablet bed and increased coating frequency, leading to more efficient drying and reduced processing times.
A Closed, Clean, and Contained Solution
The Sepion drum coater offers an innovative approach to safety and containment. With its closed charging, sampling, and discharging system, it ensures a clean and controlled process. The coater’s door features 3-clamp connections, allowing for flexible interface options, such as a containment upgrade for handling highly potent active ingredients. Additionally, the fully automated cleaning system enhances operational efficiency and minimizes downtime.
Automation and Precision at Every Stage
With the Sepion coater's automated spray arm, operators can easily maintain optimal spray angles and bed distances via a user-friendly HMI (Human Machine Interface). For added precision, an optional laser sensor measures the gun-to-bed distance and makes recipe-driven adjustments automatically, eliminating the need for manual intervention. Temperature-sensitive products benefit from an infrared sensor that accurately measures surface temperature, ensuring maximum product safety.
A Smart, IoT-Ready Future
The Sepion coater is fully equipped with Syntegon’s IoT-ready HMI, streamlining process control and monitoring. This smart system can be integrated with Synexio, Syntegon's cloud-based platform, to collect, analyze, and visualize machine and production data in real-time.
From its advanced spray arms to its exceptional cleaning systems, the Sepion tablet coater is a game-changer for pharmaceutical manufacturing, offering efficiency, flexibility, and safety all in one innovative solution.
