Universal hardness tester TBF 100i

benchtoptabletfor tablets

Overview
Combining the economy of a simple, easy-to-use tablet hardness tester with microprocessor-controlled data collection, the compact TBF 100i measures tablet breaking force (hardness) and diameter with precision. Designed for high throughput, it features an intuitive touchscreen interface for streamlined test setup and an integrated data processor for on-demand statistical analysis. Optional modules enable recording of tablet thickness and weight.

Features

• Intuitive touchscreen control with icon-based menu for simplified operation and continuous display of test parameters
• Microprocessor-controlled data collection and built-in data processor for statistical analysis and batch testing
• Choice of breaking force units: Kilograms (Kg), Kiloponds (Kp), Newtons (N) and Pounds (lbs)
• Force application at constant speed for reproducible results
• Accepts tablets up to 36 mm diameter
• Robust metal enclosure with corrosion-protective coating
• Clear acrylic lid with magnetic interlock for safe operation
• Integrated thermal printer for immediate test and calibration records
• Built-in tablet waste drawer for dust-free disposal
• Compact footprint to save benchtop space
• Extensive data output options (RS232 and USB B)
• Optional automated entry of tablet weight and thickness via compatible balance/gauge
• Passcode-protected configurable parameters (load speed, fracture detect %) to prevent unauthorised changes
• Certificate of compliance to Ph. Eur./USP provided; comprehensive IQ/OQ/PQ documentation and optional calibration rig with passcode-protected static calibration routine available
