Coating pan capacity

 

Calculate the Maximum Capacity of the Coating Pan

Max

imum Capacity of the Coating Pan in (in Kg) = Brim Volume (in Ltrs) x Bulk Density of Tablets (mg/ml)

Calculate the Maximum Capacity of the Coating Pan

The minimum capacity of the coating pan is simply 60% of the maximum capacity as given above.
Minimum Capacity of coating Pan (in Kg) = Brim Volume (in Ltrs) x Bulk Density of Tablets (mg/ml) x 60/100

Example to Calculate Capacity of Tablet Coating Machine

For example:
48” coating machine pan generally has brim volume 160 ltrs
Bulk Density of Tablets = 620 mg/ml
Maximum Capacity =

Minimum Capacity =

OR

The size and form (shape) of the tablets affect the coating machine’s maximum and minimum capacities because changes in tablet size and shape result in differences in bulk density. Large-size tablets have a lower bulk density than small tablets of the same composition
