Advanced TDP & ODF Machine Pilot Scale

The VJ Instruments Advanced TDP & ODF Machine Pilot Scale Machine is an advanced solution for developing transdermal therapeutic delivery system laminates and edible films. With precise coating and lamination capabilities, it ensures high product quality and accuracy. The machine’s user-friendly design, temperature control, and observation features make it efficient for small-scale production. Operating with a balcony configuration, it coats a 150 mm wide web continuously, maintaining a thickness variation of ±1%. The drying process is facilitated by an electrically heated stainless steel plate, and evaporated solvents are efficiently removed by ventilators. The final product is a meticulously coated and laminated film, rewound for further use. The VJ Instruments machine stands out for its innovation, precision, and streamlined operation.

Introducing the VJ Instruments Film Former Coating Machine for TDP & ODF Production

Watch our VJ Instruments Film Former Coating Machine in action! This pilot-scale machine is designed for the development and small-scale production of Transdermal Therapeutic Delivery System (TDS) laminates and Edible Films/Oral Dissolvable Films (EDF/ODF) without any further modification. Discover how it works and see how it can revolutionize your pharmaceutical and edible film production processes

Application

The VJ Instruments tabletop Film Former coating machine is versatile, serving two primary purposes:

TDS-Patches: It facilitates the development and production of Transdermal Therapeutic Delivery System (TDS) laminates, ensuring precise coating and lamination for pharmaceutical applications.
EDF/ODF: This machine also enables the creation of Edible Films/Oral Dissolvable Films (EDF/ODF) without the need for further modification.

The machine’s key features include:

Coating Head with an ultra-precise coating knife, ensuring exceptional product quality with an accuracy of ±1% across the entire coating width.
Balcony-style construction, with electrical and driving components mounted on a 1400 x 540 mm plate.
Front-mounted components, including the coating head, winder shafts, web guiding elements, and dryer cabin.
Adjustable temperature settings, pump delivery rates, and web speed controls, all conveniently located on the top of the machine for ease of operation.

Operation

The operation of the VJ Instruments Film Former coating machine is straightforward:

- The substrate is mounted on a 3″ diameter unwinder shaft on the left side of the machine.
- The web is pulled through the machine by the rewinder on the right side.
- As the web passes through the machine, it is guided around a coating roll equipped with the precision coating knife, which evenly spreads the desired fluid onto the passing web.
- The web then enters the dryer cabin, where it passes over a heated stainless steel plate, gradually reaching a temperature of up to 90°C. Solvents evaporate during this process and are vented away.
- Lamination with a protective covering foil can be applied immediately after drying, enhancing the final product’s durability and functionality.
- The finished laminate is rewound on the rewinding shaft located at the lower right corner of the machine.
