This article briefly describes some advantages of using nonperforated
pans to coat tablets and pellets.
Most Tablet coating systems in the pharmaceutical industry
use perforated coating pans, and most pellet manufacturing
(pellet coating) systems use fluid-bed processors,
which mix, moisten, and agglomerate powders or apply
successive layers of API to a core (powder layering). This
article describes how non-perforated coating pans (also
called solid-wall pans) can improve tablet coating and
powder layering operations.
