Looking to scale from lab strips to commercial runs? oral thin strip machinery turns slurry into consistent, pouch-ready films with tight control over thickness, dose, and moisture.
What it does (end-to-end)
Coat (slot-die/comma) → multi-zone dry → in-line gauge (thickness/GSM) → slit/die-cut → sachet/blister pack.
Why it matters
- Uniform dose: Closed-loop thickness control, CV ≤ ±2–3% with proper upstream QC.
- Throughput: Pilot 5–20 m/min; commercial 20–60+ m/min on wider webs.
- Stability: Low-humidity drying + high-barrier pack lowers WVTR/OTR exposure.
- Flexibility: HPMC/pullulan/PVA matrices, single/multi-layer, flavor lanes.
Selection checklist (fast)
- Coater: Slot-die with precision pump & edge guides; quick shim change.
- Dryer: 3–7 zones, independent T/RH control, solvent-safe if needed.
- Metrology: Beta/IR gauge + vision; SPC dashboard + recipe library.
- Conversion: Rotary die-cut with waste matrix removal; auto pick-and-place.
- Packaging: Four-side-seal sachet (easy-tear / laser notch), inline print/inspect.
- Compliance: cGMP design, 21 CFR Part 11 data, IQ/OQ/PQ support.
Scale path
Bench coater → pilot line (process window map) → commercial line (wider web, higher speed) with the same recipes to reduce tech transfer risk.
CTA: Start with a pilot trial to lock disintegration (≤10 s) and mouthfeel, then spec the production line around your validated GSM and packaging.
