For a decade, the company catered to the requirements of the Indian domestic players by manufacturing pharma machinery like bottle filling and washing machine, tray driers, mechanical sifter, vial filling machine, coating pan, fluid bed drier, pressure vessel, planetary mixer etc.

While catering to this market segment, Neomachine chanced to come across a Kolkata-based pharma producer, who were facing problems in film coating of tablets. Until then, the tablets were being coated in conventional pans, which were not only causing health hazards to the coating personnel, but was also a time consuming process. Inspired by this opportunity, Neomachine started the process of developing an automatic coating machine in the right earnest. After, two years of research and development, the first ‘Neocota Automatic Coating System’ was manufactured in 1984.

During the last three decades, Neomachine manufactured and marketed over 500 machines, out of which 50 machines were exported to the US, Australia, China, Jordan, Yemen, UAE, Uganda, Kenya, Sudan, Cyprus, Saudi Arabia, Austria, Brazil, Bangladesh, etc.
