Application

In the pharmaceutical industry, tablets are coated with colouring agents or active ingredients in a drum coater. This coating in the form of a liquid suspension, contains colouring or solids and is stored in a storage tank next to the drum. Itis sprayed into the drum via nozzles for even distribution on the surface of the tablets. Reliable level measurement in the storage tank is required to ensure that there is always enough of the liquid suspension for tablet coating. Overflow and dry run protection is provided by a reliable level switch.
