| Friability Tester Download spec sheet | Download exploded view The Key International, Inc. Model FT400 Friability Tester is a mechanical apparatus used to determine, or test, the resistivity to breakage. The resistivity to breakage can be measured by using the ‘ROCHE’ test, which subjects the tablets to mechanical shock, in order to establish a friability factor based on the loss in tablet weight due to breakage caused by induced mechanical stress. The Key International Model FT400 conforms completely to the test parameters as established by ‘ROCHE’ as outlined in our technical section. Features • Two transparent Acrylic drums run two tests simultaneously. (Four drums are available as an option) • Curved scoops inside the drums convey tablets upward, than dropped at the prescribed height and speed. • Drums are driven by a synchronous motor through non-slip timing belts providing maximum accuracy. • Chassis is constructed of stainless steel and polished to a #7 mirror finish. • Drums are assembled and removed quickly and easily for loading, unloading and clean up. • Units are available in either ‘Drop Count Test’ type or ‘Timed Test’ type. |
