The VGB-3 slotted-drum coater coats tablets and pellets in 1, 2 or 3 kg drums — air pulled through the bed gives high spray efficiency and uniform films.
Highlights
Perforated drum pulls air through the bed — high spray efficiency and uniform films on tablets and pellets.
1, 2 and 3 kg drums swap on one machine for batch flexibility.
Same geometry principles as production coaters — results translate.
Applications
- Tablet film coating
- Pellet and granule coating
- Sugar and functional films

FAQ
What coating machine suits R&D scale tablet coating (1–3 kg per batch)?
The VGB-3 — its three quick-change drums (1/2/3 kg) match early formulation batches, with film, aqueous and sustained-release coating all supported on one frame.
Can the drum size be changed for different batch sizes?
Yes — three drum sizes swap quickly on the same machine, so one coater follows your project from screening to clinical batches.
What spray rate range does the coating gun support?
8–50 g/min per gun with 0.8–1.2 mm nozzles (BY series); multi-gun swinging covers the full tablet bed on larger drums.
