Coating is nowadays an integral part of pharmaceutical tablet and pellet production. Nevertheless, there are some problem areas that have not been adequately solved so far, some of which are nearly accepted, although they have an impact on almost every coating process and entail economic losses. To a certain extent, this is due to a presumed lack of possible solutions - but they do exist and are promising. In particular, a new generation of tablet coaters is addressing these challenges in an innovative way.
