Tablet Coating Capacity Expansion for Serbian Pharma Manufacturer
A Serbian pharmaceutical manufacturer experienced growing demand for a newly launched generic product and needed additional tablet coating capacity on a tight budget and schedule.
Solution Overview
Epsilon sourced a used Manesty production coater and performed a thorough on‑site inspection. After confirming suitability, we upgraded the coater with a new air handler, outlet fan, and minimal control‑system modifications to meet project timelines and budget constraints.
Design Challenges & Engineering Adjustments
The installation space imposed long duct runs, which risked excessive pressure drop. We conducted detailed pressure‑drop calculations during the design phase and specified a larger extraction fan and an upgraded heater battery to maintain consistent process performance.
Key Results
- ✅ On‑time delivery and commissioning within budget
- ✅ Expanded coating capacity to meet demand
- ✅ Engineering validation of ductwork and airflow performance
- ✅ Follow‑on order for a modernised fluid‑bed system
