Portable tablet and pill hardness tester

Simply measure the hardness of your pills and tablets

To ensure that pharmaceutical pills and tablets are compliant, a tablet hardness tester can accurately analyse the breaking strength of a tablet and its structural integrity.

DCX Data sheet

Description

The DCX system allows the precise and completely autonomous measurement of tablet hardness by applying a compressive force. The breaking load is read on a calibrated force gauge.

A rotating ring exerts a force on the tablet until it breaks. A dynamometer equipped with a circular support, recovers the effort and displays the breakage value of the tablet. After breaking, it falls into a low collection container. A protective cover prevents accidental splashing on the operator.

The reading is taken digitally, on the 200 N or 500 N dynamometer depending on the type of equipment chosen.
