The Friability Testers built with unique front loading and automatic discharge system
It has always been important to test the ability of tablets to withstand mechanical stresses. Their resistance to chipping and surface abrasion is determined by tumbling them in a rotating cylinder. The percentage weight loss after tumbling is called the friability of the tablets.
SOTAX offers two kind of instruments. They both have drums that are not subject to static build-up and comply with the EP, USP, DAB requirements. The automated model F1 can be linked to a balance and a printer.
The two units offered are:
The microprocessor-controlled F1 meets USP, EUR, DAB pharmacopeial requirements Counter and timer modes of operation Unique loading system resets automatically for new samples In-situ filling of samples into the drum Post-run samples are automatically discharged without removing the drum As per USP, it comes with 10° tilt built into the base of the instrument Built-in LCD display Supports abrasion drum | ![]() |
The microprocessor-controlled F2 meets USP, EUR, DAB pharmacopeial requirements Double chamber model Counter and timer modes of operation Unique loading system resets automatically for new samples In-situ filling of samples into the drum Post-run samples are automatically discharged without removing the drum As per USP, it comes with 10° tilt built into the base of the instrument Built-in LCD display Supports abrasion drum | ![]() |
