Hi-Coater^®

Production Sized Tablet Coating Systems

Vector offers two styles of VHC tablet coating systems - Fully Perforated and Integrated Plenum.

 

Both types of Hi-Coater systems are designed for aqueous and solvent film coating processes. They can also be configured for optional sugar processing.

 

Efficient, economical, and optimized for flexibility, the VHC family is the ideal solution for your current and future tablet coating requirements.
