Friability system dual Drum

The Pharma Alliance state of the art F-2 Friabilator is designed to meet USP. IP, EUR pharmacopoeia. F-2 offers a counter and timer mode of operation. The unique design allows filling and auto discharging of test samples without opening or removing the drum from its axis. A 10° tilt is provided to prevent jamming of the tablets when tumbling. The unit supports AD Drums™ as well as "Abrasion" Drums. It has a unique front loading system, which allows up to two drums to be loaded simultaneously on the instrument. The drums are designed to positively engage with the drive to prevent any slippage. Single or double drums can be held in position by a snap lock knob. At the end of the test the test samples are automatically discharged into their individual trays. (Patented) After discharging the samples, the drum positions itself automatically for loading new samples. The drums are rotated by a maintenance free stepper motor drive with a constant speed of 25 RPM. The test can be performed in two modes — Time and Revolution Count. The time duration and the revolution count are programmable. The values once programmed are retained in the memory of the instrument. The microcontroller, self validates the revolution count. F-2 has a power failure detection facility. If the power fails during the test, the remaining test is completed when the power supply is resumed.
