The authors investigate the tablet-coating process using a combination of different simulation techniques. Drum coaters are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry to produce film-coated tablets.

The pharmaceutical processing industry coats tablets for different kinds of reasons. Tablets can be coated to improve the taste, appearance, swallowability, chemical stability and also to formulate a ...

Recent advances in equipment design and operation in spraying, drying, and mixing can improve the tablet-coating process. High efficiency in unit operations is a prequisite for achieving overall ...

A vital component of pharmaceutical tablets are coatings, which control the release of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), thus ensuring the bioavailability, safety and efficacy of the drug.

Tablets were first developed in the mid-1850s, during which sugar coating (SC) was primarily used to improve their surface characteristics and protect pharmaceutical agents from the harsh environment ...
