SPECIALIST FOR FILM COATING: LÖDIGE

Film coating is a critical process in the pharmaceutical industry that has a significant impact on the efficacy, stability and patient acceptance of medicines. LÖDIGE offers innovative machines and services specifically designed to meet the requirements of pharmaceutical film coating. With advanced technologies and tailor-made solutions, LÖDIGE helps manufacturers to achieve high-quality film coatings that control the release of active ingredients and improve the overall quality of pharmaceutical products. 

FILM COATING IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

Film coating is used in the pharmaceutical industry for several reasons: 

  • Protection of the active ingredient: The film improves the stability and shelf life of pharmaceutics.  
  • Masking taste and smell: Some substances have an unpleasant taste and smell. Coating is used here to increase patient acceptance. 
  • Controlled release: Some active ingredients need to be released only after a certain period of time or only in the intestine. Coatings offer a way to precisely control the release. 
  • Identification: Simplifying the recognition and differentiation of tablets can also be a reason for film coating.

The LÖDIGE coating technology is designed to meet these requirements efficiently and effectively by providing uniform coatings that are free of defects. 

Our LÖDIGE machines are renowned for their flexibility and adaptability to specific process requirements. They are therefore suitable for many coating applications. The exact machine type and configuration depends on the requirements of the products to be coated and the desired end product properties. We have decades of experience in this area across a wide range of industries.

FILM AND SUGAR COATING IN THE SAME COATER

SUCCESS STORY PASCOE

The company Pascoe pharmazeutische Präparate GmbH has been synonymous with natural medicine for three generations. Pascoe is one of the 100 most modern medium-sized companies in Germany. Since 2013, Pascoe has been looking for a suitable solution to modernise the film coating process and increase the production of film-coated tablets - and finally found a reliable partner with the appropriate expertise in LÖDIGE. 

We have developed a Coater that can run film coating processes with both aqueous and organic coating lacquers and that additionally enables sugar coating. Pascoe is one of the customers we have helped to commercialize this development. ​​​​​​​

AN OVERVIEW OF OUR FILM COATERS

Coating technology has evolved rapidly. There is an ever-increasing demand for faster processes with minimised spray loss, ease of use and residue-free cleaning of fully automated systems. The LÖDIGE Coater series meets exactly these requirements. 

LÖDIGE offers two series for different requirements: The machines of the LC series are true high-end machines with a wide range of equipment options. Each Coater is configured according to customer specifications. On the other hand, the LC light series coaters are a cost-effective alternative to customised machines. This is due to their standardised design. 

The advantages of our film coater at a glance:

  • Gentle film and sugar coating

  • High variability of working volume (15-100 %),

  • No need to change the coating drum

  • Optimized air flow

  • Explosion proof design on request

  • Individual, customised systems.

Each machine is also designed to maximise cleaning efficiency. We have a range of machines to suit different requirements: 

  • 100 % Tool Less Discharge

  • 15 to 100 % Filling Variability

  • 40 % Faster than Conventional Coaters

  • 30 % Saving on Utlities

  • Upto 15 % Saving on Coating Solutions

Laboratory Coating System​​​​​​​

  • Innovative designs, Great functionality

  • High process speed due to high spray rates and high drying capacity

  • Even Distribution of the suspension

  • Variable filling level between 0.6 to 6.0 l

  • User friendly : Easy handling, intuitive operation
