Tablet hardness tester
Ensure consistent tablet quality by precisely measuring hardness, thickness, diameter, and weight with a reliable manual bench-top solution.
Measures Tablet Hardness and Physical Dimensions
The TBH 325 series from ERWEKA includes robust tablet hardness testers designed for precise physical quality analysis in pharmaceutical production. This equipment stands out for its ability to test hardness, diameter, thickness, and weight of tablets, tailored to meet the rigorous demands of pharmaceutical manufacturers and biotech companies. Capable of measuring tablet hardness within a range of 10–500 Newton, the TBH 325 features adjustable modes—Constant Speed or Constant Force—to suit various testing needs. Users in quality control and R&D departments benefit from its integrated product memory for up to 50 products, ease of manual operation, and adaptability to various tablet shapes. This ensures compliance with USP, EP, and JP standards, essential for pharmaceutical QA processes.
The LAN/USB interfaces facilitate seamless integration with existing laboratory systems, and optional MC.NET software ensures 21 CFR Part 11 compliance for electronic records and signatures. The menu-driven calibration process, achievable via weight stones or ERWEKA’s AutoCal 2.0 system, allows custom adjustment points to ensure measurement accuracy and consistency across the tablet production line. Its compact design and efficient data management capabilities make the TBH 325 a versatile and indispensable tool for maintaining batch quality and supporting ongoing product development.
