Abrasion testing machine SA-400

automatictabletfor powders

Overview
The Friabimat SA-400 by Copley is a high-energy friability tester designed to provide reproducible, quantifiable abrasion data for hard and coated solid dosage forms where conventional friability testers cannot produce measurable changes.

Product summary
The Friabimat SA-400 delivers increased abrasive force via a single oscillating container to characterise surface mass loss and mechanical damage in robust tablets, pellets and granules in accordance with Ph. Eur. 2.9.41.-2 (Method B). It is suitable for laboratory and production environments requiring measurable friability assessment of hard formulations.

Key highlights

• Suitable for quantifiable abrasion of hard tablets, granules and pellets
• Stainless steel enclosure designed for production environments
• Clear acrylic lid with magnetic interlock for safe operation
• Optional oscillation frequency verification certificate

Application / Use
The Friabimat SA-400 is used when conventional friability testers fail to produce measurable mass or surface changes due to tablet hardness or robustness. It generates the abrasive forces necessary to characterise friability for coated tablets, pellets and other hard solid oral dosage forms, supporting QC, formulation development and stability testing.
