Powder dosing for lab and galenics
Ideal for precise dosing needs, this compact lab device streamlines powder filling processes, ensuring accurate sample production and testing in research and development stages.
Precisely Doses and Fills Pharmaceutical Powders
The Tamping Pin TT from Harro Höfliger offers precise manual dosing and filling solutions for pharmaceutical powders, critical in labs and R&D environments. This compact, hand-held device is perfect for developing capsule formulations using a metering disk to achieve exact fill quantities. Its versatility allows you to handle a variety of powder types—like active pharmaceutical ingredients, powder blends, and pellets—at a dosing volume of 50 to 1,385 mm³ and a dosing range of 25 to 690 mg, suitable for a range of end-products including capsules, vials, and microneedle patches.
Integrated as a lab table unit, it provides approximately five dosages per minute, making it ideal for sampling and testing minimal quantities. The equipment supports different filling methods, like tamping pin, dosator, and drum filling, ensuring compatibility with varied powder properties. Its construction from durable materials ensures longevity and ease of maintenance, making it an essential tool for pharmaceutical manufacturers and CDMOs focused on developing innovative drug delivery systems like transdermal patches, inhalation capsules, and oral tablets.
