İlaç endüstrisinde, many tablets produced by the tablet basın need to use the tablet film coating process after the finished product to improve the appearance of the drug, and improve its stability and functionality. Coating machines are a key piece of equipment in this process. This article will delve into various aspects of the tablet film coating process to help you grasp how to optimize the process for best results.
Tablet film kaplama, farmasötik tabletlerin yüzeyini ince bir filmle kaplamak için kullanılan bir tekniktir.. Film, genellikle polimer malzemeden yapılır, tableti nem gibi dış çevresel etkilerden korur, oksijen ve ışık. Aynı zamanda, film coating improves the taste and appearance of the drug, making it more competitive in the marketplace. In the pharmaceutical manufacturing process, film coating enhances drug stability, enables controlled release rates, and ultimately boosts therapeutic efficacy.
Film coating of tablets has a wide range of applications in the pharmaceutical industry:
Enhancement of drug stability: coating can effectively isolate air and moisture to prevent oxidation or moisture, thus extending the shelf life of drugs.
Control of drug release: By designing different coating formulations, the release rate of drugs can be controlled to achieve slow release, controlled release and other effects to improve the therapeutic effect of drugs.
Improve the taste of drugs: For some drugs, film coating can mask the bitter taste or bad taste of the drug, making the drug easier to swallow.
Enhance the appearance of drugs: the beautiful coating enhances the market attractiveness of drugs and makes the products more competitive.
Coating machine is a kind of automatic equipment, its main structure includes:
Spraying system: it is used to spray the coating liquid evenly onto the tablet surface. The design and position of the spray nozzle is critical to the coating effect.
Rotation system: Ensures the even rotation of tablets during the coating process, resulting in uniform coverage. The speed and angle of the rotation system must be adjusted based on specific requirements.
Drying System: Removes solvents from the coating solution by heating or air drying to ensure film curing and adhesion.
Control system: includes an operation panel and a controller for setting and monitoring various parameters in the coating process, such as spraying speed, temperature and humidity.
The process flow of film coating usually includes the following steps:
Tablet pretreatment: before coating, tablets need to be cleaned and dried to ensure that the surface is free of impurities, which facilitates the uniform adhesion of the coating.
Preparation of coating solution: A suitable coating solution is prepared according to the requirements of the drug product. This usually involves the selection of suitable polymeric materials, solvents and additives and homogenous mixing.
Spraying process: The coating solution is uniformly sprayed onto the surface of the tablet by means of a spraying system to form a thin film. During the spraying process, the pressure and angle of the spray nozzle need to be adjusted to ensure uniformity of the coating.
Drying: The solvent in the coating solution is removed by a drying system to solidify the film. The drying process requires precise control of temperature and duration, tailored to the specific formulation of the coating solution.
Quality checking: quality checking of the coated tablets to ensure that the thickness of the film is uniform, firmly attached and free from defects.
The preparation of coating liquid is crucial to the effect of film coating:
Solvent selection: the solvent should have good solubility properties and be able to fully dissolve the polymer material. Commonly used solvents include water and organic solvents.
Additives: lubricants, Kaplama çözeltisinin akışkanlığını ve filmin performansını artırmak için gerektiğinde plastikleştiriciler ve stabilizatörler eklenir..
Konsantrasyon kontrolü: Kaplama çözeltisinin konsantrasyonu, film kalınlığının orta ve düzgün olmasını sağlamak için tabletin özelliklerine ve kaplama gereksinimlerine göre ayarlanmalıdır..
Sıcaklık ve nem kontrolünün kaplama kalitesi üzerinde doğrudan etkisi vardır:
Sıcaklık kontrolü: Kaplama çözeltisinin kurutma etkisini sağlamak için kaplama işlemi sırasında sıcaklığın uygun bir aralıkta kontrol edilmesi gerekir.. Çok yüksek veya çok düşük sıcaklıklar film kalitesinde sorunlara yol açabilir.
Nem kontrolü: too high humidity may lead to uneven drying of the coating solution, while too low humidity may lead to brittle film. Ensure the quality and stability of the film by reasonably controlling the humidity of the environment.
The operating parameters of the coating machine include:
Spraying speed: Spraying speed affects the uniformity of coating and film thickness. Adjustments should be made based on specific production requirements.
Rotation speed: the rotation speed affects the turning effect of tablets in the coating process to ensure that the coating liquid can evenly cover the surface of tablets.
Drying time: the drying time affects the curing effect of the film, which needs to be adjusted according to the formulation of the coating solution and production requirements.
The following problems may be encountered during the tablet film coating process:
Poor film adhesion: This may be caused by improper formulation of coating liquid or unreasonable setting of spraying parameters. Solutions include adjusting the concentration of coating solution and selecting suitable solvents.
Uneven coating: Commonly due to mismatch of spraying speed or rotation speed. Optimization of spraying and rotating parameters can be used to ensure uniform distribution of the coating solution.
Film cracking: may be due to high temperature or low humidity during drying. Film bütünlüğünü sağlamak için kurutma sıcaklığını ve nemini ayarlayın.
Kaplama kalitesini arttırmak için, aşağıdaki önerileri dikkate alabilirsiniz:
Doğru kaplama makinesini seçin: Kaplama makinesinin püskürtme sisteminin, Döner sistem ve kurutma sistemi üretim gereksinimlerini karşılar.
Proses parametrelerini ayarlayın: Püskürtme hızını optimize edin, En iyi kaplama etkisini elde etmek için fiili üretim durumuna göre dönme hızı ve kuruma süresi.
Kaplama çözeltisi formülünü iyileştirin: Filmin kalitesini ve işlevini geliştirmek için deneme ve optimizasyon yoluyla ürününüz için en uygun kaplama çözümü formülünü bulun.
Kaplama makinesi seçerken, aşağıdaki faktörleri göz önünde bulundurmanız gerekir:
Ekipman özellikleri: Üretim gereksinimlerini karşıladığından emin olmak için üretim ölçeğine ve ürün özelliklerine göre uygun ekipman spesifikasyonunu seçin.
Üretim kapasitesi: Üretim verimliliğini sağlamak için kaplama makinesinin üretim kapasitesi üretim programıyla eşleştirilmelidir..
Teknik destek: Ekipmanın normal çalışmasını ve bakımını sağlamak için iyi teknik destek ve servis sağlayan bir ekipman tedarikçisi seçin.
Kaplama makinesinin uzun süreli stabil çalışmasını sağlamak için, düzenli bakım ve onarım gereklidir:
Temizlik: Artık kaplama solüsyonunun ekipmanın performansını etkilemesini önlemek için kaplama sistemini ve döner sistemi düzenli olarak temizleyin..
Inspection: Regularly inspect the equipment’s components, including the spray nozzle, rotating system, and drying system, to ensure they are functioning correctly.
Maintenance: Follow the equipment manufacturer’s recommendations for maintenance, including lubrication and replacement of wearing parts, to extend the life of the equipment.
