MJ150-RD ODF R&D Film Casting Unit – Doctor-Blade Coating System for Formulation Screening & Pilot Trials

The MJ150-RD ODF R&D Film Casting Unit is developed by Huanghai Pharmaceutical Instruments — founded by the core team of China's National Pharmaceutical Engineering Research Center (NPERC) and backed by 97+ registered patents, including the patented Slitting-Type Film Coating Device (CN117323228A) used on this unit. Trusted by pharmaceutical manufacturers, CROs, and CDMOs in 30+ countries for maintaining seamless scalability from pilot to commercial production.

MJ150-RD ODF R&D Film Casting Unit — MJ Pro Series

The MJ150-RD is a bench-top film casting unit built for formulation screening, small-batch film casting, and early customer education — the entry point below our pilot-scale MJ150-Lab, for teams whose formulation isn't locked yet and who aren't ready to commit to a full production line.

Despite its compact footprint (1700 × 800 × 1000 mm), the MJ150-RD is not a scaled-down imitation. Its doctor-blade coating and dual-lane stripe coating are powered by the same patented technology used on our production-scale MJ150 platform (Patent CN117323228A) — carried over directly, not redesigned from scratch, for a smoother path from R&D to full-scale manufacturing. The substrate width (150 mm) also matches the MJ150 production line, so formulations developed on the MJ150-RD transfer directly to MJ150-Lab and MJ150 without re-validating the coating window.

Key Features

• Same Patented Coating Technology as MJ150: Doctor-blade (scraper) coating, not slot-die — the same patented technology as our production-scale MJ150 platform, carried over directly under patent CN117323228A, for a smoother path from R&D to full-scale manufacturing.
• Striped Multi-Formula Coating: Supports dual-color / dual-formula stripe coating in a single pass — independent feed grooves, no secondary shaping. The result: one film, multiple formulations, zero compromise.
• Motorized Operation: Fully motorized coating and rewind, with touchscreen HMI control — not a manual device. Integrated heated oven drying.
• Direct Scale-Up Path: Substrate width (150 mm) matches the MJ150 production line, so formulations developed on the MJ150-RD carry forward to MJ150-Lab and MJ150 without re-validating the coating window.
• Compact, Low-Barrier Entry Point: 1700 × 800 × 1000 mm bench-top footprint, no production-line facility prep required. ~1,200 films/hour — sized for formulation screening and small-batch runs, not commercial output.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the MJ150-RD used for?

A: The MJ150-RD is a bench-top R&D film casting unit for formulation screening, small-batch film casting, and early customer education — positioned below our pilot-scale MJ150-Lab for teams whose formulation isn't locked yet. Contact us to discuss your project stage.

Q: How is the MJ150-RD different from the MJ150-Lab and MJ150?

A: The MJ150-RD is our lowest entry point — a compact bench-top unit (1700×800×1000mm, ~1,200 films/hour) for early-stage formulation work. The MJ150-Lab is a pilot-scale production-capable unit (8,000–10,000 films/hour), and the MJ150 is full commercial-scale (Gen I 20,000 films/hour, scalable to 120,000 films/hour in Gen III twin-tunnel configuration). All three share the same coating principle, so formulations transfer across the range without reformulation.

Q: Does the MJ150-RD use the same coating technology as your production equipment?

A: Yes. The MJ150-RD's doctor-blade coating and stripe coating are powered by the same patented technology (CN117323228A) used on our production-scale MJ150 platform — carried over directly, not a scaled-down redesign, for a smoother path to full-scale manufacturing. It also matches the MJ150's 150mm substrate width.

Q: What is the output of the MJ150-RD?

A: Approximately 1,200 films per hour — sized for formulation screening and small-batch runs, not commercial-scale output. For production volumes, see the MJ150-Lab or MJ150.

Q: What is the warranty on the MJ150-RD?

A: 1 year, included as standard. Extended warranty is available for purchase, up to a maximum of 10 years. Contact us for extended warranty pricing and current lead time.
