The PTF30ERA (three drum) and PTF60ERA (six drum) FriabilityTesters are multi-drum automated tablet friability testing instrument that are fully compliant to USP and EP . Friability testing is a quality control test used to test the durability of tablets during transit. This involves repeatedly dropping a sample of tablets over a fixed time, using a rotating drum with a baffle. The result is inspected for broken tablets, and the percentage of tablet mass lost through chipping is calculated. 
 
PTF30ERA and PTF60ERA feature a unique loading window in the friability drum. The tested samples are automatically discharged into individual stainless steel collectors without having to remove the drums from their axis.
