| Find out more about how you can reduce coating time, increase productivity and reduce the total tablet manufacturing* costs by at least 27% per batch. |
| Reduced energy consumption by nearly 46% per batch. 19% reduction in electricity consumption and a 66% reduction in heat energy used in each coating run, which in turn reduces CO2 emission by nearly 35% per batch. CO2 equivalents are calculated based on ratios provided by The Carbon Trust (London, UK)**. A higher concentration of solids allows reduction of the water used during the coating process by nearly 45% per batch. |
