Hardness tester for the pharmaceutical industry SBT 2

ERWEKA's range of suppository testers provide reliable solutions for testing critical parameters such as comminution, hardness, melting point and penetration of suppositories. Our testers are designed to ensure that pharmaceutical manufacturers have the tools they need to guarantee the quality and consistency of suppositories. The suppository hardness tester consists of an electrically heated chamber with an integrated sample holder and a series of interchangeable plastic inserts for holding suppositories of different sizes. Once the desired temperature is reached, the hardness is tested using weights ( included as standard) which are gradually placed on the device until the suppository collapses under the load of the added weights. The results are expressed in terms of the total weight required to collapse the suppository.
