What is the working principle of a coating pan?

If you want to improve the taste of tablets, pills or candy, you can add a coating that forms an organic or aqueous film. You should ensure the coat is thin and is applied evenly around the tablet or pill since the solvent evaporates quickly. A revolving pan helps you coat products with various substances and uses concurrent airflow to evaporate the solvent faster. The product is placed in the mixing pan, and the coating is sprayed using a spray bar inside the pan. Some machines don’t have a spray bar, and you need to place the coating in the pan with the product. As the pan revolves, it stirs the product and coating substances in the pan. The gentle agitation ensures the products are fully covered with the coating. Some pans also have perforation systems to limit the amount of coating applied to the product. Since the coating dries immediately, the products can be released onto a conveyor belt for packaging.

What are the industrial applications of mixing pans?

Sugarcoating is an integral part of manufacturing pills and tablets. The coating masks the undesirable flavour or odour of drugs. Apart from sugarcoating, some pharmaceutical companies use film coating to prevent tablets from collecting dust and contaminants. The film coating process usually uses solvents, polymers or plasticisers. The different coatings require various coating pans to ensure that the coat isn’t excessive and dries well. Apart from making medicine, revolving pans are useful in the food processing industry. The pans help to make sweet treats like chocolates and candy. Panned candy is the standard high-quality confectionery. During the panning process, producers add multiple layers of chocolate to the candy's core. Producers use a candy coating drum to add layers and improve the flavour and texture.
