Airflow
Temperature
• Volume passing through drum
• Adhesion on cohesion aided by applying warm solutions to a warm tablet bed
• Balance between inlet and outlet air volumes which control the ‘pressure’ in the drum
• High evaporation rate can adversely effect droplet mobility upon tablet impingement
• Drying efficiency is high in side vented pan • Airflow can be influenced by tablet size and shape
41
Manesty Coating Presentation - 2009 | Brian A Helsdon | 260809
• Excessive heating can cause thermal degradation of active • Consider thermal expansion of cores
42
Manesty Coating Presentation - 2009 | Brian A Helsdon | 260809
Temperature
Core size and weight
• Excessive heat can cause spray drying or pinhole formation
• The pattern of movement of cores in a coater will be influenced by their size / weight.
• Under steady conditions of inlet temperature, inlet air volume, spray rate and batch size, exhaust temperature is a good guide to tablet bed temperature
• This in turn may affect film formation due to changes in: • the time exposed to the atomised droplets when the core passes
• In general high temperature = high film stress
through the spray
• the length of time between each pass through the spray (circulation time)

• Shape of the intagliation may be important in governing if intagliation bridging occurs.
• Larger and/or deeper intagliations are less susceptible to bridging

Batch size
Spray rate
• Influences mixing efficiency
• Apply at as fast a rate as possible but avoid overwetting
• Influences air flow
• Low spray rates can lead to small droplet size which spread poorly and can lead to orange peel effect
• Can influence process efficiency • High spray rates can lead to picking or twinning • Spray rate can influence process efficiency

Spray Position
Gun Position
• Sprays should be positioned radially so that the spray hits the bed
• Guns are spaced at equally distance
at the undisturbed area between where baffles enter and leave
position around the centre line of the drum mesh
• Use maximum number of sprays which cover the largest area of the bed but which do not overlap
• Gun to bed distance controls droplet size and hence spreading and coalescence of droplets at tablet bed
• Avoid overwetting or spray drying

Atomising air pressure
Fan air pressure
• Increasing atomising air pressure decreases mean droplet size
• Increase fan air pressure changes spray shape from a solid to a flat ellipse
• Increasing atomising air pressure decreases the range in droplet diameter
• At high fan air pressures droplet size distribution widens • Different gun designs are influenced differently by changes in atomising or fan air pressure
