O’Hara Technologies Inc. Launches New Product Line of Pharmaceutical Continuous/Batch Tablet Coating Equipment Fastcoat Continuous

Richmond Hill, Canada, May 13, 2010 --(PR.com)-- O’Hara Technologies Inc. has introduced its new Fastcoat Continuous Tablet Coater (FC C500) during Interphex 2010 in New York, one of the world’s most influential pharmaceutical trade shows. FC C500 is currently the only medium-scale continuous/batch coating technology existing on the market. It creates a revolutionary platform which enables continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing at variable capacities up to 500 kg per hour.

With this latest innovation in continuous coating technology, O’Hara is addressing the need of Pharmaceutical and Nutritional companies to introduce efficient production solutions for stimulating operational savings and decreasing capital costs.

With coating capacity of up to 500 kg of tablets per hour @ a 3% weight gain, the FC C500 can replace up to six production coaters (48” pan diameter) with one unit. It minimizes required GMP space, maximizes efficiency with no wastage and offers a great “return on investment” ROI. This technology offers inimitable efficiencies and savings to the industry. The FC C500 is flexible enough to run in both batch as well as continuous mode with zero wastage. The larger version of continuous coater FC C1200 can coat up to 1200 kg/hr @ 3% weight gain.

It is a proud addition to the O’Hara’s family of continuous production equipment.
