ADVANTAGES OF NEOCOTA OVER OTHER COATING SYSTEMS
AVAILABLE LOCALLY
NEOCOTA has several advantages over other Coating Systems locally available. Some
of the main advantages are as follows :-
1. NEOCOTA has an unique pan geometry which facilitate uniform rolling of all the
tablets in the Pan, which ultimately results into high degree of uniform coating.
2. NEOCOTA Pan has an increased perforated area when compared with other
Coating Systems and so in NEOCOTA Pan increased number of Spray Guns
can be accommodated, as a result faster coating can be achieved.
3. Due to increased perforated area, velocity of the drying air passing through the
Pan is less. Due to this lower velocity, contact time between the tablet bed and
the drying air is more and drying efficiency of the NEOCOTA Pan is higher than
the other Coating Systems available. This better drying efficiency also results in
minimum coating time.
4. Lower velocity of the drying air passing through the tablet bed also ensures
minimum loss of coating materials.
5. NEOCOTA Pan is equipped with indigenously developed cylindrical baffles.
Combined with the geometry of the Pan, this baffle design ensures thorough
mixing of the tablet, uniform rolling and gentle treatment of the tablet during
rolling. This results into high degree of uniformity of the coated products,
elimination of damages to the tablets even having poor hardness and friability.
This also eliminates chances of colour variation of the coated products.
6. NEOCOTA is equipped with unique spray system, which can perform aqueous
and non-aqueous film coating without any change in the System. The air
atomized spray System ensures elegant surface finish and eliminates the
chances of all sorts of defects in film coated products.
7. NEOCOTA is quipped with self-diagnostic Alarm Annunciation System for easy
and fast detection of any fault in the System for immediate rectification.
BRIEF HISTORY OF SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENTS OF NEOMACHINE
IN THE FIELD OF DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMATIC COATING SYSTEM
1. In the early 80s, Neomachine was pioneer to start developing Automatic Coating
System to meet the urgent need of pharmaceutical industry in India offering cost-
effective solution for efficient film coating of emerging pharmaceutical products.
2. Development of Pan Coating System to coat pellet products such as,
Omiprazole, Nansiprazole etc. which provided tremendous boost to some of
Indian pharmaceutical companies such as, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd.
3. Design and manufacture of 1000 kgs. batch capacity Automatic Sugar Coating
System for confectionary products such as, Chewing Gum etc. for Warner
Lambert (India) Ltd. , Wrigleys (India) Ltd. as well as coating of chocolate
centres (Gems) for M/s. Cadbury India Ltd.
4. Exporting Automatic Coating System of various models to 30 foreign countries in
Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe etc. which are working satisfactorily for a long
period of time.
5. Development of multi-pan R & D Model of Automatic Coating System having a
minimum batch size of 500 gms. first time in India. Subsequently, multi-pan
Coating System for pilot study as well as small volume commercial coating up to
75 kgs. batch size were also developed and supplied to many clients in India and
abroad.
Multi-pan R & D Model of NEOCOTA is most popular R & D Coating System in
India today.
6. Very recently, Neomachine has developed a R & D Model capable of coating a
very low batch size of 50 grams of tablets at a time which has been considered
as a breakthrough in pan coating technology even by renowned experts in the
field of pharmaceutical coating. This miniature coating unit suitable for research
and development have been offered to some of our clients for successful
demonstration at our Kolkata factory and one similar unit has been bought by
M/s. Johnson and Johnson Ltd., Mumbai already.
Till now, the internationally available R & D Model could coat a minimum batch
size of 250 grams only.
7. Developed first time in India suitable Automatic Coating System for tablets made
of potent drugs such as, hormone, onco care drugs etc. with all the provision for
contamination free loading and unloading of uncoated and coated tablets along
with total contamination free operation during coating to ensure safety of operator
and other personnel present in the coating area. The System was also made
suitable for containment of all the potent drugs coming out with the exhaust air by
use of suitable cleaning system including cartridge type Bag Filter, Wet Scrubber,
Buffer Chamber with Demister Pad, HEPA Filter etc. We have also supplied
such critical units for coating of potent drugs including hormone to reputed
companies such as Cipla Ltd., Cadila Healthcare Ltd., Johnson & Johnson Ltd.
etc.
8. NEOCOTA Coating System is only reliable equipment with a track record of
successful sugar coating of various pharmaceutical products including sensitive
and hygroscopic products such as multi vitamin tablets, aurvedic and herbal
products for The Zandu Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Charak Pharma Pvt. Ltd., The
Himalaya Drug etc.
GENERAL FEATURES OF NEOCOTA DESIGN
I. INTRODUCTION :-
NEOCOTA Coating System was designed without any effort to copy any
Coating System available internationally in early eighties.
With the growing need for suitable system for efficient and cost effective FILM
coating of pharma industry in India, Neomachine in Kolkata started
development of Automatic Coating System through in house research to
manufacture a Coating System which can meet the urgent need of Indian
Pharma Industry to introduce new drugs in tablet form such as Ibuprofen,
Norfloxin, Siprofloxcin, Metranidazole, Tinidazole and other products.
II. DESIGN FEATURES :-
During the inception of the basic design parameters it was realized that for
efficient and uniform FILM coating of tablets the following processes and their
mutually contributive factors are vitally necessary :-
i) Rolling or Tumbling of tablets of various sizes and shapes in the
coating pan.
ii) Intermixing of tablets in the coating pan.
iii) Variable speed of the pan to achieve the above mentioned flexible
operation during coating.
iv) Measured and appropriate spray of coating solution to the tablet bed
during coating process.
v) To introduce drying air at different temperature and humidity to
continuous drying of tablets by evaporating the solvent (organic or
aqueous) used to prepare the coating solution.
vi) For efficient drying and maximize the use of energy spent to heat the
drying air the contact time between the drying air and tablets to be
increased to the maximum possible level.
vii) Due to increased drying efficiency, the coating time required is kept to
a minimum which ensures less abrasion and damage to the tablet
surfaces due to reduced duration of moving tablets remains inside the
pan.
viii) Due to increased contact time of the drying air with the tablet bed,
drying air temperature can be kept at a lower optimum level and most
of the coating solution which is sprayed on the tablet bed gets dried
on surfaces of the tablets rather than being sprayed dried and escape
with the exhaust air which in turns minimize the loss of coating
materials.
ix) Due to less coating materials in the exhaust air, cleaning of the
exhaust air through a Wet Scrubber or a suitable Bag Filter becomes
more easier and protection of environment from the escape of the
foreign materials from the Coating System makes the coating
operation more environment friendly.
x) In NEOCOTA, the built-in cleaning system (C.I.P.) is designed in such
a way with the help of multi-stage high pressure water pump,
strategically placed jet nozzles and inter-connecting piping, tubing,
valves and fittings, that even in the case of colour change and
product change the cleaning cycle remains almost same as normal
cleaning cycle which is routinely followed for maintenance of the
Coating Unit.
xi) Due to optimization of the spray, drying, rolling and mixing of tablets
etc. not only final finishing of the tablets are more elegant reduced
due to reduced demand of utilities, coating cost is kept at a minimum
level.
xii) In NEOCOTA, as a design strategy the product which is taken for
coating inside the pan is protected from damage under all possible
enforseen events. The coating process is discontinued by use of
suitable interlocks and automatic stoppage of different functions in the
event of possible damage to the tablets coated inside the pan.
xiii) During the development and design of NEOCOTA, various major and
minor parameters which can affect the coating performance of the
System where analyzed and during design and execution of the
Coating System, the parameters vital for performance and efficiency
of the coating are taken into consideration. A list of those parameters
is enclosed for your kind reference.
xiv) With the supply of the NEOCOTA Coating System, all the necessary
documents required for validation of the System during installation,
commissioning and operation are supplied in systematic manner in
form of a document file. We also provide factory acceptance test
format, DQ format etc. along with the comprehensive instruction for
operation and maintenance of Coating System and various
components used.
xv) During the installation and commissioning of the Coating System our
Service Engineers impart sufficient and effective training to the
operators and maintenance staff of the client factory so that, they can
independently operate and maintain the Coating System during its
lifetime.
