Quadro Vac Solution

As with most applications, this operation can be handled with ease by the Quadro Vac system. Most vacuum transfer applications involve the conveying of bulk powder and granule over large distances. These are relatively robust products, large quantities of which are to be transferred in the minimum of time. The combination of large vacuum generators and small pipe diameters give high throughputs, ideal for such applications. However, for the transfer of potentially delicate tablets into the coater, and subsequently of easily chipped coated tablets from the Coating Machine, a different philosophy must be employed.

Summary

The resultant systems have proved successful even on particularly fragile tablet shapes such as caplets with a breakline, and on easily chipped coatings such as sugar. Throughputs well in excess of 1.5 tonnes per hour are achievable, meaning that a 200 kg batch can be loaded or unloaded in 8 to 10 minutes.
