pans have been used in pharmaceutical coating
operations since the early 19th century when
they were used extensively for sugar coating.
"Blythe" described the first pelletization
process in the coating pan in a patent issued
in 1956. As coating technology progressed
from sugar to solvent to aqueous film coating,
the coating pan evolved to meet the increased
demands. Rear and side-vented pans, for example,
to enchance the airflow, and process control
systems were added. These and other adapatations
have significantly improved tablet coating
operations, but not pelletization. Although
"McAinsh" and Rowe described the
use of side-vented pan for pellet coating
in a patent issued in 1979, most pelletization
processes today rely on the same basic equipment
used in 19th century.
The conventional pan is emphasized
because the vast majority of companies involved
in pelletization processes use this type
of equipment.
