Softgel Hardness Tester
Softgel Hardness Tester
The RJC-B is a softgel hardness testing instrument built to assess the gel strength of gelatin under controlled conditions, a critical parameter reflecting both production technique and material quality. It offers two sampling result formats by pairing different sampling speeds and modes, yielding either final or peak readings. The device features a high-definition LCD, robust data processing, and four measurement modes: single-step, hold, cycle, and automatic sampling. The automatic mode delivers faster, more accurate freezing strength values. Users can preset arbitrary sampling depths to extract data at multiple levels of the specimen. With a test range of 0.05–10 N, accuracy of ±0.3%, and a resolution of 1 g, it provides reliable performance. Power supply is customized to order.
Features:
1. The softgel hardness tester features a high-definition LCD display, ensuring clear and precise readability of measurement data for convenient and reliable gelatin gel strength testing operations.
2. The tester offers strong data processing capability, enabling efficient analysis and management of measurement results for accurate and reliable gelatin gel strength evaluation.
3. Featuring single step, hold, cycle, and automatic sampling measurement modes, the tester delivers flexible testing options for various gelatin gel strength evaluation needs.
4. Automatic measurement mode delivers faster and more accurate gel strength values, significantly improving efficiency and reliability in softgel hardness evaluation.
5. Arbitrary sampling depth presets allow users to conveniently extract data at all levels of the gel sample, ensuring comprehensive and flexible testing.

Applications:
1. Pharmaceutical Quality Control and Batch Release Testing: Determines gel strength of gelatin and softgel capsule firmness to verify batch compliance with USP and FDA mechanical integrity standards.
2. Softgel Formulation Development and Process Optimization: Guides gelatin shell formulation, plasticizer selection, and drying parameters by profiling capsule hardness and elasticity during early-stage R&D.
3. Packaging and Transport Stability Validation: Predicts capsule integrity through blister packaging, bottling, and shipping handling by simulating compression stress and measuring deformation resistance.
4. Nutraceutical and Cosmetic Softgel Quality Assurance: Ensures consistent firmness and shell elasticity of vitamin, supplement, and cosmetic softgels across nutraceutical and personal care production lines.
