Coating pans are widely used. They can be used not only for granulation of granular fertilizer production lines and coating of fertilizer granules, but also in the food and pharmaceutical industries for coating various products such as nuts, candies, tablets and capsules. These pans come in various sizes and shapes and are made of stainless steel, aluminum or copper. Some coating pans also have other functions, such as heating or cooling, which can assist the coating process.
The coating material is first melted, dissolved or mixed to ensure that the product is evenly coated when rotating in the pan.
After that, the material is loaded into the metal pan and starts to rotate. The material rotates and tumbles in the pan and is sprayed with the pre-mixed coating liquid. The air atomization spray system evenly distributes the coating liquid on the material, and at the same time, the heated air is sucked into the material to dry the coating liquid. After that, the hot air is discharged through the air duct.
For fertilizer granules, film coating helps to improve the quality of fertilizer products. Special coatings on fertilizer granules can adjust the nutrient release rate. Coating material and thickness, moisture content and soil temperature all play a role. Controlling nutrient release has multiple benefits, including improved plant health and yield, reduced environmental impact, lower labor costs, and increased profits. With manufactured coated fertilizers, a single application provides nutrients for the entire growth cycle of the plant.
In addition, the color of the coating shell can be customized freely, and it is generally colorful, which makes the product look more attractive, increases product sales, and helps to distinguish the different products.
The same is true for medicines. The film coating on the tablets helps to improve the quality of the tablets and make them easier to swallow.
At the same time, the appropriate coating material can prevent the tablets from oxidizing when exposed to air, moisture, odors, and light, thereby extending the shelf life of the product. The thin polymer film on the tablets is usually colorful and has many of the same properties as sugar coating, but also has the advantages of being more stable, smaller, and requiring the shortest time for application.
Uniform Coating
The main advantage of using a coating pan is that it provides a uniform coating. This means that the coating material will be evenly applied to the material.
Easy to Clean and Maintain
When it comes to cleaning and maintaining the coating pan, the process is simple. You don’t have to spend extra energy on maintenance.
Versatile
