Guidance for an excellent Hot Melt Coating
In order to reduce the problems of other solvent-based coating processes, such as time and cost intensity, the active ingredient coating by means of Hot Melt Coating (HMC) was developed.
HMC is a process in which coating materials such as lipids, e.g. carnauba wax and beeswax, are melted and applied to the active ingredient by a coating machine.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Spraying: The already melted coating components are sprayed onto the active ingredient through a heated nozzle. The active ingredient floats in a fluidized bed in the coating apparatus (Ventilus®/Romaco Innojet).
- Wetting: The active ingredient is wetted with the coating components.
- Solidification: As the coating has a lower melting temperature than the active ingredients, it cools on the surface of the active ingredients.
- Homogeneous coating: A homogeneous layer consisting of 100% coating material is formed.
