Product Description
This Friability Test Apparatus is specially designed to determine the durability of tables form the time of use. Microprocessor based preset DIGITAL controller The rate of abrasion impact hardness of table can be found using this unit A transparent 12 dia acrylic drum having blade carries the table along it up to apredetermined high and let them slide off Descent compact epoxy powder coated housing in regular model Housing made of 316 S.S matt finish in GMP MODEL The tables are weighted before and after the rubbing in the drum and the difference in theweight indicates the rate of abrasion The desired duration of rotation can be fixed by using timer which is in built with the panel The drum rotation at constant speed of 25 RPM Operates on 230 volts.
Precision and Compliance in Tablet TestingThis friability tester is meticulously engineered to meet international pharmacopoeia standards, offering laboratories the reliability required for regulated pharmaceutical environments. The digital LED control ensures intuitive operation, while automatic stop functionality delivers repeatable, accurate results in every test cycle.
Flexible Design for Laboratory NeedsAvailable with one or two acrylic drums, this apparatus allows simultaneous testing of one or two batches, maximizing productivity. The robust stainless steel body ensures long-term durability and easy cleaning, making this instrument suitable for labs demanding high performance and easy maintenance.
User Safety and Operational EfficiencyA quiet, belt-driven motor and inbuilt safety cut-off feature enhance safety and minimize operator intervention. Preset revolution or time settings, abrasion-resistant chambers, and a powder-coated finish optimize both convenience and equipment lifespan. The apparatus suits various lab environments, operating reliably in temperature and humidity ranges as specified.
FAQ's of Friability Test Apparatus:
Q: How does the Friability Test Apparatus ensure compliance with pharmacopoeia standards?
A: This device is engineered to meet USP, IP, and Ph.Eur. requirements, using precise speed control, accurate revolution and time settings, and standard drum dimensions. Calibration features and a robust digital control panel guarantee that tests meet official criteria for tablet friability and abrasion.
Q: What is the process of conducting a test using this apparatus?
A: To perform a test, place the required tablet batch (up to 100 tablets per drum) inside the acrylic drum(s), set desired test parameters (time or number of revolutions) via the digital LED display, and start the instrument. The apparatus will automatically stop once the preset count or time is reached, ensuring repeatability and accuracy.
Q: When should I use the dual drum configuration?
A: The dual drum setup is ideal for laboratories that need to test multiple batches simultaneously or compare tablets under identical conditions, thus improving throughput and efficiency during high-volume testing sessions.
Q: Where is it suitable to install and operate this friability tester?
A: This apparatus is intended for laboratory use and operates optimally at temperatures between 10C and 40C, with humidity up to 80% RH. Its compact design (430 x 260 x 340 mm) accommodates various lab bench spaces, and the corrosion-resistant finish allows use in demanding environments.
Q: What benefits do the automatic stop and inbuilt safety features provide?
A: Automatic stop ensures tests conclude exactly at the preset parameter, reducing manual monitoring and improving result accuracy. The inbuilt safety cut-off protects both the user and the sample, minimizing risks from over-operation or system faults.
Q: How often should calibration be performed on this equipment?
A: Routine calibration should be conducted as per your laboratory's quality protocols, ensuring the speed (20-60 rpm) and time/revolution counters remain accurate within 1 revolution. Follow manufacturer guidelines and pharmacopoeia recommendations for frequency of calibration.
