The Wincom Tablet Friability Tester is a high-precision pharmaceutical testing instrument designed to measure the physical strength, durability, and surface abrasiveness of uncoated tablets. Operating strictly in compliance with international pharmacopoeia standards (including USP and EP), it determines the percentage of weight loss caused by mechanical shock and friction during the rotation cycle. This instrument is essential for quality control, formulation development, and compliance testing in pharmaceutical manufacturing laboratories.

Key Features

• Strict Pharmacopoeia Compliance: Built with precision-engineered clear acrylic drums that have a built-in curved scoop to lift and drop tablets exactly 156 mm, perfectly matching standard USP/EP protocols.

• Dual Operating Modes: Features flexible digital microcomputer controls that allow operators to run tests based on a fixed total revolution count or a exact time countdown.

• Automatic Drum Discharge: Designed with a convenient mechanical coupling that automatically tilts and slides the tablets out of the drum without damage when the test cycle is completed.

• High-Contrast Digital Control: The bright LED/LCD display provides clear, real-time views of set parameters, current speed, and elapsed time, making configuration straightforward.

• Smooth Motor Performance: Driven by a high-stability electronic motor that maintains precise rotational velocity even when working with maximum heavy tablet load batches.

Primary Applications

• Pharmaceutical Quality Control: Checking commercial tablet batches before packaging to ensure they can withstand shipping, bulk handling, and automated blister filling lines.

• Formulation Research and Development: Testing the structural integrity of new binder mixtures, compression pressures, and granule moisture limits during tablet design.

• Regulatory Compliance Audits: Providing verifiable, repeatable testing data required by drug administration authorities and good manufacturing practice (GMP) standards.
