Manual Hardness Testers

Manual tablet testing systems for fast, accurate and trouble-free measurement of all tablet shapes and sizes. Different models and versions for individual testing requirements with up to 5 essential physical parameters (weight, thickness, width, diameter/length and hardness) available. Fully USP and EP compliant design, high precision measuring with S-beam load cell technology and integrated reporting functions have made Dr. Schleuniger Pharmatron testers the preferred choice of leading pharmaceutical companies.


8M-BASIC - Tablet hardness tester

The 8M-BASIC break force tester is the ideal choice for simple hardness tests of tablets and other solid dosage form without programming any product limits. It's proven design and solid mechanical construction guarantees maximum repeatability and reliable breaking force test results. Test objects are being placed in the instrument by hand. On completion of a test, reports including statistical analysis can be automatically printed.

8M - Tablet hardness tester

The 8M tablet hardness tester is a manual testing system to measure hardness, diameter, thickness and weight of virtually all tablet shapes and sizes. Precision mechanics and trouble-free operation have made the 8M one of the most popular quality control instruments in tablet manufacturing and research labs of internationally leading pharmaceutical companies. Tablets are placed in the machine individually and by hand. Reports including statistical analysis can be printed or sent to a 21 CFR, Part 11 compliant PC software for paperless reporting.
