Tablet Hardness Testing Machine
Tablet Hardness Testing Machine
The YDC-A is a portable hardness testing device engineered for solid dosage forms such as tablets and granules. It supplies a dependable foundation for evaluating tablet hardness, coating, packaging, and transport, while also supporting disintegration and dissolution studies. Equipped with a high-precision pressure sensor, digital readout, and motorized feed mechanism, it automates the measurement process. The unit supports continuous testing with manual pressurization, automatic display, latch, reset, and cycle functions. It covers a hardness range of 10–350 N with 0.01 N resolution and ±1.5% ±1 digit accuracy, accommodating tablets from 2 to 25 mm in diameter and handling up to 1,000 tablets automatically. Data can be exported via RS232 or USB. Power supply is customizable.
