MINI COATER CLASSIC (MCC)

Product Description 

The Mini Coater Classic (MCC) allows you to carry out the full coating and drying process, from start to finish, using only a small amount of materials. Coat and dry small batches of tablets, pellets, or capsules in your laboratory with Caleva's new bench-top top-spray coater. 

The intuitive digital touchscreen interface gives you full control over all process parameters in one place.

Choose to run your coating trial with the interchangeable top spray or the new bottom spray attachments depending on your coating trial requirement. 

With the NEW bottom spray head, the Mini Coater Classic becomes an even more versatile coating platform, while maintaining the MCC’s compact footprint, precise process control and rapid trial turnaround time.

Engineering & Design Features

The Mini Coater Classic (MCC) is a user friendly solution for lab-scale tablet and pellet coating trials. It has been engineered with innovative features aimed at helping you achieve the best possible results.

No mechanical agitation – the fluidisation process relies solely on a powerful fan which helps to protect your tablets from mechanical damage, such as chipping, during the coating and drying process. An added benefit to this is that the Mini Coater Classic (MCC) makes very little noise during operation.

Scale up potential – the design of the Mini Coater Classic (MCC) allows for scale up studies based on the fit, form, and function criteria.

Static reduction – the spray chamber unit is made from borosilicate glass and stainless steel which helps to minimise static. Other benefits of the glass chamber means it easier to observe the coating process, and is comparable to scale up options.

Automatic shut off feature – the new interface allows the user to set a range for the compressed air. If air flow rate falls outside of this range, the machine will automatically shut off. This feature helps to prevent wasted trials due to inadequate flow of compressed air.

Streamlined set up – the prime pump function allows the user to accelerate the coating solution to the spray head, prior to beginning a trial.

Flexible spray head options – choose top or bottom spray coating attachments to suit your coating requirements. Alternatively, the easily interchangeable spray heads allow you to test both spray techniques if required to ensure your coating trial is optimised for scale up.

Digital touchscreen operation – touchscreen slider operation allows precise control over the process parameters.
