What changed
GEA has introduced the ConsiGma FC Flex, a production-scale film coater for tablets, capsules, and pellets. It processes approximately nine-kilogram sub-batches in six-minute cycles and retains the laboratory system’s drum diameter while changing drum depth and nozzle count. Standard containment targets OEB 4, with an optional cleaning upgrade supporting OEB 5–6 applications, according to the supplier.
Why it may matter
Because functional coatings influence release and stability, this scale-out design warrants evaluation for potent products and mechanically fragile dosage forms.
