The semi-automated hardness tester TBH 425 Testing of up to four tablet parameters with a functional rotary magazine Overview 4 Parameters: The ERWEKA TBH 425 is a semi-automatic tablet hardness and combination tester for measuring of up to ten samples. The samples are automatically transported to the test station by a star-shaped rotary magazine. Depending on the device model, automatic measurement can be taken for tablet hardness and thickness (optional), diameter (for round tablets) or length (for oblongs). In combination with the optional balance the weight can also be determined. Thickness Diameter/Length Hardness Weight In addition, the rotary magazine enables full visual inspection of the test processes at all times. Up to 100 tablets can be precisely tested in one run and the acquired data can be documented and evaluat-ed in a variety of ways. Therefore the TBH 425 can be connected to a printer via the USB printer interface or directly integrated into a Automatic calibration with AutoCal 2.0* computer network via the Ethernet LAN interface. The calibration of the TBH 425 is completely menu-driven and may be carried out statically by weight stones or dynamically 100% USP/EP/JP compliant by the electronic ERWEKA AutoCal 2.0 System. In addition, the unit generates a calibration print-out outlining individual calibration data and further information (service date and time, serial number). Setting of test speed (0.5 - 3.00 mm/sec.) Adjustment of force increase (10 - 200 N/sec.) Automatic cleaning of the magazine PC control via MC.NET Col ection container for broken samples The Ethernet LAN interface allows connecting a computer with the ERWEKA MC.NET software. In combination with this option the TBH 425 series is 100 % 21 CFR 11 compliant and can be controlled via a PC.
