iTest – 4 Parameters tablet tester “DT” Dust Tight

The iTest – 4 parameters IPC tester “DT” is a new generation of automatic tablet testing system for integrated process control (IPC). Intended for use as a stand-alone equipment with its own HMI or in combination with an upward conveying tablet deduster, the module offers premium analysis capabilities in testing tablets weight, thickness, hardness and length/diameter.

Key benefits
  • Extremely quiet testing environment with no air turbulence - Very accurate measurement
  • Complete separation between product and mechanical/electrical area to increase operator safety
  • Tablets transfer by vacuum allowing less dust contamination in the tester area
  • CFR 21 Part 11 compliant software
  • Easy cleaning, validation and calibration

At the core of the unit design is the strict separation of dust or tablet fragments from the production flow, in a continuous   manufacturing process. Tablets are sampled directly on the press and conveyed through a flexible hose to the tester via vacuum. Sample tablets are tested for each parameter against pre-programmed recipes.
Utmost care has been taken to simplify the design for cleaning procedures. This new tester design, which includes a net  separation between the product area and the mechanical/electrical parts, increases safety during maintenance operations. All the parts are accessible and easily disassembled without the use of tools, making the system extremely easy to service and maintain. Also available in “C” Containment ≤OEB4 and “HC” High Containment ≤OEB5 washable.
