About Tablet Hardness Tester

Tablet Hardness Tester

Tablet Hardness Tester is a lab technique, utilized by pharmaceutical industry for determining the structural integrity as well as breaking point of the tablets. Its utilization ensures that the tablets are hard enough to uphold the mechanical strains and keep them for long time. As there is a possibility of tablet breaking during storage, delivery, or packaging, handling etc. Tablet Hardness Tester is apt to detect the disintegration of tablet, if any. This is proffered with excessive bonding possibilities and has the capacity to make control on the production process. The said testing equipment is popular as a proven, reliable and most accurate method.

High Precision & Versatile Testing

Accommodating a variety of tablet shapes and sizes, this tester operates within a 220 mm range with capacity up to 500 Newtons or 20 kg force. The digital LCD delivers immediate, precise readings, while adjustable test speeds up to 60 tablets per hour enhance workflow. Rigorously compliant with USP, EP, and IP standards, it is ideal for rigorous quality control in pharmaceutical labs.

Built for Laboratory Durability & Safety

Fabricated from stainless steel and finished for corrosion resistance, this testers robust construction ensures longevity even under frequent use. Overload protection provides essential safety for operators, and all units include a calibration certificate, user manual, and power cord for straightforward installation. Store the device in cool, dry environments to maintain optimal accuracy and performance.

FAQs of Tablet Hardness Tester:

Q: How do I operate the Tablet Hardness Tester for accurate results?

A: Begin by selecting the desired control mode (manual or digital), then place a single tablet (220 mm) in the test groove. Set the test speed and stroke as required, and initiate the test. The hardness will be displayed instantly on the digital LCD in Newtons or kilograms. Refer to the user manual for detailed operating instructions.

Q: What types of tablets can this device test?

A: The tester accommodates round, oblong, and oval tablets within a 220 mm size range, making it suitable for most pharmaceutical tablet forms. It is engineered specifically for applications demanding high accuracy in diverse tablet types.

Q: When is calibration required and is a certificate provided?

A: Calibration ensures the devices measurement accuracy and should be performed regularly per laboratory protocols or when indicated by regulatory standards. This tester comes with a calibration certificate for compliance and quality assurance needs.

Q: Where should the Tablet Hardness Tester be installed and stored?

A: Install the device on a laboratory bench-top in an indoor environment with controlled temperature (10C 40C) and humidity (20%80% RH). After use, store it in a dry, cool location to protect its sensitive components and uphold measurement precision.

Q: What is the process if the tablet hardness exceeds the testers capacity?

A: If a tablet requires more than 500 Newtons, the devices overload protection feature will activate to prevent damage. Always ensure tablets to be tested fall within the specified hardness capacity to maintain equipment integrity.

Q: How can I benefit from using this hardness tester in a pharmaceutical lab?

A: This device provides instant, precise hardness measurements, supporting robust quality control for tablet production. Its compliance with international standards (USP, EP, IP) and durable stainless steel build ensure reliability and facilitate regulatory audits, ultimately enhancing product consistency and safety.
