Pan speed too low causing tablets to cascade rather than roll, resulting in uneven exposure
Spray rate too high for the inlet air temperature, causing overwetting and agglomeration
Spray nozzle-to-tablet bed distance set too far, causing spray drying before tablet contact
Batch weight above the rated capacity increasing the drive torque demand
Drive belt worn or stretched reducing torque transmission
Motor thermal overload from elevated ambient temperature or blocked cooling vents
Pan support bearing wear increasing rolling resistance
