Installations for Suspension as well as
Film Coating with aqueous dispersions
and organic solvents of tablets, capsules,
granules and pellets
DRC 1300-1600/1.35-P
DRIACOATER ®

DRIACOATER ®
1300 -- 1600/1.35-P
The installations are constructed in compliance with the
demands of the pharmaceutical industry and cGMP
standards.
� For film coating with organic solvents the equipment
is explosion-proof on request.
� The casings, the cleaning system and all parts in
contact with the product are made of stainless steel
AISI 316 resp. synthetic material with FDA approval.
� By installing the DRIACOATER ®
with its front flush
in a wall, the operating area is separated from the
process area with all peripheral equipment, such
as air handling systems, spray solution tanks,
dosing pump, etc.
Process air handling in the DRIACOATER ®
The polygonal drum has nine perforated sectors with air flow
channels in lightweight construction mounted on the outside. The
patented DRIAM air guidance through the air distributor and
the air channels provides an efficient direct or reverse air flow. This
principle of forcing the process air through the product bed
which is only available in the DRIACOATER ® guarantees
– highest possible drying capacity => maximum efficiency
– Absolutely even distribution of the process air => uniform evaporation
Direct airflow from
the top through
the product bed
with air exhaust at
the bottom
Front spraying system
Spray arm inserted through the front opening of the drum, guided
on roller bearings for easy insertion and removal, powered tilting to
maintenance position. Collapsible spray nozzle carrier, adjustable
for optimal spraying position, utility and spray solution supply from
the front side.
Telescopic spray arm (alternatively)
Extractable spray arm, mounted in hollow shaft.
Reverse airflow
from the bottom
through the product
bed with air
exhaust at the top
Dosing by peristaltic, piston, diaphragm, rotary and eccentric
pumps in the low and high pressure range. Active spray volume
measuring by dosing scale or flow meter.

CIP High Capacity Cleaning
The demands on the cleaning system of a pharmaceutical machine are extremely
high with regard to cleanliness of surfaces and validation. By its design and
efficiency, which has been optimised over many years, the DRIAM cleaning
system takes these demands into account.
Safe and automatic cleaning of the installation
is guaranteed by a special cleaning bar
for the air channels and cleaning nozzles
in all its relevant parts, a booster pump for
media circulation as well as cleaning procedures
adapted to particular production recipes.
Also available, external dosing and mixing
stations for cleaning solutions.
Cleaning process
The cleaning procedure is divided into sub-programs which can be selected at
choice. Graphical representation permits monitoring from master control stations
Cleaning Phases:

Drum and air channels outside
Disconnected air distributor
Cleaning of production containment
Completion of the cleaning by purging of
all cleaning tubes and nozzles by compressed
air, followed by coater drying with the process
air handling system.
Hermetically tight housing
� All around tightly welded production
compartment
� Large inspection doors with inflatable
sealing systems
� Front door with automatically
sealing locking
Process control DRIAMATIC
by memory programmable controller PLC
and overhead computer for
� Process monitoring
� Visualisation
� Documentation
� Recipe administration
� Various interfaces available
Mounting of a DRIACOATER ®
The design allows a 2/3 installation for black
and white segregation.
The coater can be built into a wall following
the machine’s internal black-/white- segregation.
Alternatively it can be mounted flush with
the wall.
