When making pharmaceutical products, it is common knowledge that the act of just mixing ingredients together to form your tablet isn’t enough. In many cases, manufacturers need to also throw in a few additives to really achieve specific effects that they’re looking for in their tablets.
在制造制药产品时，众所周知，仅仅将各种成分混合在一起形成药片是不够的。在许多情况下，制造商还需要添加一些添加剂，才能真正达到他们在药片中寻求的特定效果。
You see that process of handling? This is where tablet coating comes in. And for it to work, it’s important to have the right tablet coating machines. But, how do these machines work? Let’s examine their working principles.
你看到那个处理过程了吗？这就是平板电脑涂装的重要性所在。为了让它发挥作用，重要的是要有合适的平板电脑涂装机器。但是，这些机器是如何工作的呢？让我们来研究一下它们的工作原理。

Working Principles of Tablet Coating Machines
平板涂装机的工作原理
We’ve pointed out the fact that these coating machines have a simple task when it comes to the general drug making process – ensuring that you won’t have any issues with applying coatings to the tablets.
我们已经指出，这些涂层机器在一般药物制备过程中只有一个简单的任务 —— 确保您在将涂层应用于药片时不会遇到任何问题。
And for them to do this, they need to work with the following principles:
为了做到这一点，它们需要遵循以下原则：
You First Load The Tablets您首先加载药片
To begin with, you can’t just coat from the start. You instead need to load the tablets into the machine and make sure that they’re ready for the process. Remember that the pan spins either horizontally or at an angle, all based on its design.
首先，你不能从一开始就涂抹。相反，你需要将平板电脑装入机器，并确保它们已经准备好进行处理。请记住，平板电脑要么水平旋转，要么以一定角度旋转，这一切都取决于其设计。
Then, Prepare Your Coating Solution 然后，准备您的涂层溶液
Next, you prepare your coating material. In most cases, this is a solution or a suspension that comes with pigments, polymers, and other potential additives. Also, you’ll find that it’s probably best if you prepare the coating solution separately and feed it into a spraying system on its own.
接下来，你需要准备涂层材料。在大多数情况下，这是一种溶液或悬浮液，包含颜料、聚合物和其他潜在的添加剂。此外，你会发现最好单独准备涂层溶液，并将其单独送入喷涂系统。
Begin The Spraying Action 开始喷涂行动
For the next step, you need the use of a spray gun or nozzle to let the coating solution run all over the tablets while they remain in their spinning motion. With this spraying system, you won’t have to worry about applying the coating material uniformly – it takes care of this process, ensuring that the tablet surfaces are properly covered.
下一步，您需要使用喷雾枪或喷嘴，让涂层溶液在平板保持旋转运动的情况下流遍整个平板。有了这个喷雾系统，您就不用担心要均匀地涂抹涂层材料了 —— 它会负责这个过程，确保平板表面被正确覆盖。
Let The Tablets Dry让平板电脑干燥
Once the coating material has been applied, you leave them to keep rotating in the pan. At this point, a drying process will take place, with heat being applied to ensure that the process is optimized as much as possible.
一旦涂层材料涂抹完毕，就让它们在平底锅中保持旋转。此时将进行干燥过程，并施加热量以确保过程尽可能优化。
Drying can be done either through infrared heating or the circulation of warm air – whichever process helps to remove any excess moisture from the coating material. At the end, you should be left with a uniform, solid layer of coat on the tablet’s surface.
干燥可以通过红外加热或热空气循环进行，任何一种方法都有助于去除涂层材料中的任何多余水分。最终，您应该在平板表面留下一层均匀的固体涂层。
You Could Cure If You Want
如果你愿意，你可以治愈
An optional step comes in the form of curing. Some coating materials need this, essentially allowing them to rest for a bit so that the coating can really solidify and form the characteristics you need.
一个可选的步骤是固化。一些涂层材料需要这样做，本质上是让它们休息一段时间，这样涂层才能真正固化并形成你所需的特性。
Let It Cool Off & You’re Ready
让它冷却下来，你就准备好了
If you’ll implement curing, then let it complete. From there, leave the tablets to cool down a bit, then discharge them from the coating pan. You can polish the tablets if you want, but at this point, you’re pretty much ready to package them and send them out.
如果你要进行固化，那就让它完成。从那里开始，让药片稍微冷却一下，然后从涂层盘中排出。如果你愿意，你可以擦亮药片，但此时你已经基本准备好将它们包装并发送出去了。
Conclusion结论
Tablet coating is a critical part of the entire manufacturing process. With coating, you improve the tablet’s original form beyond just the active ingredients and optimize specific characteristics.
平板电脑涂层是整个制造过程的关键组成部分。通过涂层，您不仅可以改善平板电脑的原始形态，还可以优化其活性成分和特定特性。
