Pharmaceutics 3 Flashcards
What’s types of coating equipments ?
The Standard coating pan
The perforated coating pan
The fluidized bed coated
Definition of coating tablets
The application of coating composition to a moving bed of tablets with the concurrent use heated air to facilitate evaporation of the solvent
What’s types of coating use to protect from gastric environment ?
Enteric coating acid resistance
Mention standard coating pan modifications
The Pellegrini pan
The immersion sword
The immersion tube
What’s the worst shape for coating tablets ?
Square flat- faced tablets
True or false Q: tablets properties tablets must be rough to coated ?
False, should have smooth surface
In tablets properties : what’s the best shape to coated tablets ?
Spherical shape
In tablets properties : what’s the best shape to coated tablets ?
Spherical shape
Why’s the sphere is best shape to coated tablets ?
Because 1) it’s allows tablets to rolls freely in the coating pan
And 2) have minimal contact
Why is square flat-faced is the worst shape ?
Because in coating materials would collect btw the surface to glue them together

What’s diameter in standard coating pan ?
8 to 60 inches and rotated horizontal axis
Types of application coating solution ?
Ladling and spray
True or false
Ladling is a manual ?
True
True or false
Spraying application is automatic?
True
Advantage spraying over ladling ?
1) faster
2) more distributions
Characteristics of the standard coating pan ?
1) inlet air supply and exhaust are separated
2) not immersed
3) open
Character of immersion swords coating
1) closed
2) inlet and exhaust are one unit “ not separated “
3) perforated
4) immersed
Characters of immersion tube ?
1) inlet and exhaust are separated
2) open
3) immersed
4) coating solution and heated are fused
5) rapid processing times
Types of perforated coating pan system ?
1) Accela-Cota
2) Hi-coated
Accela-Cola are totally perforated ? True or false
True
Hi-coater are totally perforated? True or false
False
Partially perforated
What’s the highest efficiency drying coating system?
Fluidized bed system
Air capacity depends on
1) quantity of air flowing through the tablet bed
2) temperature of the air
3) the quantity of water the inlet air contains
Notes : increase temperatures will increase capacity to evaporate water or solvent
Coating application depends on
1) spray rate
2) composition of the coating solution
3) droplets size produced ( pressure ,flow rate , viscosity)
4) tablets surface area
5) pan speed
Increase of pressure will increase droplets size ? True or false
False
Increase of pressure will decrease droplets size
Decrease of viscosity will decrease droplets size ? True or false
True
Increase flow rate will decrease droplets size ? True or false
True
In spraying process depends on skill of the coating operator ? True or false
False
In ladling process depend on skill of the coating operator
Steps coating sugar in order ?
1) seal coating
2) subcoating
3) syrup
4) polishing
Seal coating must be hydrophilic ? True or false
False
Hydrophobic not hydrophilic
