NPH-23 TABLET HARDNESS TESTER MONSANTO

A tablet hardness test measures the force required to break a tablet. It’s a laboratory technique used to assess the structural integrity and breaking point of tablets. 

How it’s done

• A tablet is placed on a plunger in a hardness tester 
• The tester applies pressure to the tablet using a spring
• The force required to break the tablet is measured.

Why it’s done

• Tablet hardness tests are used to ensure that tablets are strong enough to withstand storage, transportation, and handling
• The results of the test help identify any issues with the tablet’s formulation or manufacturing process

Monsanto tester is aA barrel-shaped tester with a compressible spring between two plungers 

Analogue ,Portable Premium quality Hardness tester with long life.

Inexpensive but very useful for Pharmacy colleges.

Body made of Chrome plated Heavy Brass.

Easy to use and handle.

The PVG INTERNATIONAL’S Tablet Hardness Tester is an essential tool for tablet manufacturers, designed to deliver precise hardness measurements for improved quality control. This advanced tablet hardness tester effectively addresses common issues like weight and thickness variations in tablets compacted from a single granulation, which can impact density and hardness.

With this, users can measure tablet hardness in terms of the kilogram force required to crush them, ensuring accurate and consistent results. This precision allows manufacturers to optimize tablet press machine pressures, reducing wear on punches and dies, and significantly lowering tooling costs. By replacing subjective methods like finger sensitivity with a reliable, easy-to-use device, this ensures consistent quality while enhancing efficiency in tablet production. Designed for accuracy, reliability, and ease of use, the PVG INTERNATIONAL’S Hardness Tester is a cornerstone of modern tablet making machinery, helping manufacturers maintain high-quality standards while reducing operational costs.

Main Benefits

• Precise Hardness Measurement: Measures tablet hardness in terms of kilograms of pressure required to crush the tablet.
• Versatile Tablet Compatibility: Standard unit tests tablets from the smallest size to 12mm  diameter and a maximum thickness of 8 mm.
• Ease of Use: Simple and user-friendly design for quick and accurate readings.
• Adaptable to Larger Tablets: Can be equipped with special parts for testing larger diameter tablets at higher pressures.
• Objective Testing Method: Eliminates the need for subjective guesswork methods like finger sensitivity.
• Consistent Tablet Quality: Helps in maintaining the desired physical characteristics of the tablet by accurate hardness measurement.
• Enhanced Production Efficiency: By determining the actual hardness needed, machine pressures can be optimized, reducing mechanical wear.
• Reduced Operational Costs: Lower punch and die wear lead to decreased tooling costs.
• Increased Process Control: Allows correlation of tablet hardness with manufacturing method and composition.
