# Industrial Specification: Pharmaceutical Tablet Coating Machine

## 1. Technical Definition
Industrial machine that applies protective or functional coatings to pharmaceutical tablets.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-3.0 bar coating pressure, 30-80°C drying temperature, 10-100 rpm pan rotation**. Failure boundary: **Coating pressure exceeding 3.5 bar causes nozzle clogging, temperatures above 85°C degrade polymer binders, rotation speeds above 120 rpm induce tablet abrasion**, Mechanism: **Polymer solution viscosity changes non-linearly above 85°C (Arrhenius degradation), exceeding 3.5 bar creates turbulent flow (Reynolds number &gt;4000) causing particle agglomeration, centrifugal forces at 120 rpm exceed tablet-coating adhesion energy (0.1-0.5 J/m²)**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Heat Sterilization F0 Lethality Model**:

> **Primary Equation**: $F_0 = \int_{0}^{t} 10^{(T-121.1)/z} dt$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Validates microbial reduction integrity for aseptic packaging.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| T | Process Temp (°C) | **$T \in [30-80°C]$ °C** (Per `temperature_range`) |
| t | Exposure Time (min) | Engineering Constant |
| z | Z-value | **10 °C** (Standard for *C. botulinum*) |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Inconsistent atomization air pressure below 0.3 bar | 8 | Uneven coating thickness exceeding ±15% specification | Dual-redundant pressure regulators with 0.01 bar resolution and real-time PID control |
| Pan bearing wear exceeding 50μm radial clearance | 8 | Tablet-to-tablet impact damage at rotation discontinuities | Ceramic hybrid bearings with 25μm maximum allowable wear and vibration monitoring at 2kHz sampling |
