Used VARIAN Friabilator #9166927 for sale

VARIAN Friabilator is an electronic test equipment used for the assessment of pharmaceutical tablets' friability. It is a device that can quickly and accurately determine the friablity of tablets and capsules by applying mechanical stress. The equipment consists of two hoppers that contain a defined amount of tablets. The hoppers are rotated at a predetermined speed inside a cylindrical chamber, causing friction and contact between the tablets. The tablets then experience rapid acceleration and deceleration in the form of mechanical stress until they reach a certain weight. The friability of the tablets can then be determined by comparing the final weight to the initial weight of the tablets. Friabilator includes a highly sensitive microprocessor-controlled AC motor which is utilised in controlling the speed of rotation of the hoppers. The hopper can be adjusted up to a maximum speed of 250 revolutions per minute. The hopper contains a built-in timer which is used to limit the duration of the test run. Furthermore, the device features two sets of impact bars, which govern the level of acceleration and deceleration of the tablets within the hopper. VARIAN Friabilator is equipped with an 8-inch diameter weighing pan, allowing for easy access to sample tablets. In order to protect against dust and moisture, the weighing pan is covered with an acrylic shield and counterweight cover. The device also includes a digital LCD display which constantly shows the data generated during the test. Friabilator is an accurate, reliable and cost-effective friability testing solution. The equipment is designed to be portable, allowing easy transportation to a test site, and is powered by a single 9V battery, eliminating the need for an external power supply. With its highly precise motor control, automatic operation and simple, user-friendly interface, the device is a great choice for assessing and determining the friability of pharmaceutical tablets.
