This Driam Driacoater 500/600 vario is a laboratory coating machine — sometimes referred to as a coating pan or tablet coater — used in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and related industries to apply controlled coatings to tablets, pellets, granules, and similar solid dosage forms. Driam is a well-established Swiss manufacturer with a long history of producing film and sugar coating equipment for research, development, and production environments.
This particular unit, serial number KD37310, is constructed entirely in high-grade stainless steel, combining grade 1.4401 (equivalent to AISI 316) and grade 1.4571 (equivalent to AISI 316Ti), making it suitable for use with aggressive solvents and demanding cleaning regimes. It is mounted on a wheeled frame, giving it the mobility expected of laboratory-scale development equipment.
A key feature of this machine is that it is supplied with two interchangeable coating pans, giving the user flexibility across different batch sizes. The first pan has a diameter of 500 mm, a depth of 460 mm, and a cylindrical width of 150 mm. The second pan is larger, with a diameter of 600 mm, a depth of 600 mm, and a cylindrical width of 470 mm. Both pans share a conical width of 120 mm and a common inlet/outlet diameter of 200 mm. Maximum batch capacity is stated at 30 kg.
The drive system is powered by a 2.2 kW motor rated at 380/660 V and 2,825 rpm, specified in an EX (explosion-proof) configuration. Pan speed is continuously variable between 5 and 27 rpm, controlled by a Typ VLT 2015 frequency controller, allowing precise adjustment to suit different product and process requirements.
The machine is comprehensively equipped for complete coating operations. It includes electric heating, a fan, an air filter, a spraying arm (Model 970), and a dosing pump, providing an integrated system for process air conditioning and spray application. A switch panel is also fitted. The coating pan and full coating installation are confirmed present and included with the machine.
The unit is located in Barneveld, Netherlands, and was manufactured in 1995.
