Taste Masking Coating of Multi-Particulate Systems in a Small Footprint Equipment

Ima Active’s wedge wire screen drum is designed to integrate seamlessly with standard Perfima equipment, resulting in the innovative Perfima Edge. This enhancement brings the capability of side vented pan coating to smaller particles, such as pellets or minitablets. The drum's wedge wires feature a rounded, smooth design, ensuring minimal impact on the product and enhancing flowability. The drum’s unique structure also supports high process air volumes, enabling increased spray rates and efficient, short processing times comparable to traditional perforated drum coaters and provides an interesting alternative to fluid bed thanks to its reduced footprint by at least 30 %.
