This Lödige LHC170 is a laboratory coating machine — sometimes referred to as a coating pan — used in pharmaceutical and related industries for the film coating or sugar coating of tablets, pellets, and granules. Lödige is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing mixing, granulating, and coating equipment for the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food processing sectors.
The machine's partially perforated drum has a working volume of 550 litres, constructed from AISI 316 stainless steel polished to K240 grain finish, and accepts batch sizes ranging from 165 to 550 kg. The drum drive is powered by a SEW Eurodrive motor rated at 7.5 kW, and heating is provided via a hot-air battery using steam.
The unit is sold complete with a full air handling unit comprising two stages of filtration (F8 and H13 classes), a steam-heated pre-heating battery, a chilled-water dehumidification battery, a primary steam heating battery, and a supply fan. Spray delivery is handled by a trolley-mounted Watson Marlow five-head peristaltic pump paired with five spray nozzles. Air management on the exhaust side includes a dust collector, an outlet air filter, an extraction fan, and a noise attenuator.
Process control is managed by a Siemens S7-300 PLC with an operator panel in German and French, complemented by a PC running Lödige supervision software under WinCC. A CIP skid with a Prominent dosing pump is included, along with all electropneumatic cabinets and the flexible pipework connections for the CIP circuit.
Ancillary items supplied with the machine include a loading chute, a discharge chute, a sight glass plug, and all peripheral equipment necessary for operation. Overall dimensions of the turbine assembly are 3,000 mm long by 2,300 mm wide by 2,700 mm high, with a stated weight of three tonnes. Complete documentation in French accompanies the machine, covering PID diagrams, drawings, the operator manual, technical data sheets, material certificates, and further supporting documents. A full programme backup was carried out prior to shutdown. The machine is located in France and was manufactured in 2001.
