Thickness test equipment WHT 4

hardnessfully-automatictablet

Test weight, thickness (or height), diameter (or length), and hardness of regular tablets, odd shaped tablets (caplets, oblongs etc.) and other solid samples fully automatically. Use the WHT 4 for the fully automated testing of single tablet critical parameters including weight (in compliance to the European and German Pharmacopoeia for uniformity of mass), thickness, diameter and the tablet hardness also according to the European EP and USP Pharmacopoeia. Operating Principle This instrument offers a reliable and reproducible self-contained feeder and measurement station for quality control of samples during tablet production as well as in post-production QC and QA laboratories. The WHT 4 testing system offers four test parameters of the same sample. The instrument is offered as a stand-alone unit including an integrated touch screen PC running the WHT32 software. A single- or multiple-batch feeder may be used to individually file the samples into the testing system for fully automated control of different samples and batches. Using the single feeder WHT 4-SM1 and direct connection to an existing tableting machine is possible. The multiple batch feeder WHT 4-SM is used to test up to 10 different products fully automatically and unattended. Operating Principle of the Sample Positioning Flaps Use the WHT 4 for all regular (round) and most odd shaped dosage forms. Its unique orientation “flap” design aligns automatically incorrectly positioned samples into the correct tip-to-tip hardness test position. The schematic on the right side shows the two flaps of the combined hardness and diameter testing station and the drive controlling the flap movement.
