The present invention relates to a method for coating of a pharmaceutical product. The method comprises the step of producing discrete droplets (7) of controlled size, shape and composition with at least one micro dispenser (1) and distributing droplets (7) with controlled velocity, time of flight. Also, the method comprises the step of controlling the production frequency and modulation of the droplets (7). Further, the method comprises the step of controlling the flow rate, temperature and composition of the carrier gas and directing droplets (7) towards particles (10) subjected to coating.The present invention also relates to a device for coating of a pharmaceutical product. The device comprises a droplet producing unit (1) and a droplet-directing unit (8). The droplet producing unit (1) is a piezo-actuated micro dispenser (1) for producing discrete droplets (7) and controlling the size, shape and composition of said droplets (7). |
