• Fully USP/EP/JP compliant
• Manual to fully automated configurations
• Digital control with user management & method memory
• MultiCheck & TBH series for hardness, diameter, thickness & weight
• Optional connections to software for data integrity & audit trail

Ideal for: batch release, formulation development, in-process QC.

⏱️ Disintegration Testers (ZT Series)

ERWEKA disintegration testers offer conformity with all pharmacopoeias, including configurable drive systems, heating precision and automated detection.

Highlights

• AirBasket™ cableless sensor technology (ZT 730 series)
• One or two independent test stations
• High-precision temperature control
• Automatic determination of disintegration time
• 7” touchscreen interface

Perfect for tablets, capsules, pellets and special dosage forms.

🧊 Suppository Testers

Specialized testers developed for melting, softening and disintegration behaviour of suppositories under controlled thermal conditions.

Used widely in: rectal/vaginal dosage development, QC and stability testing.

🌾 Granulate Flow Testers

ERWEKA flow testers allow accurate determination of flowability, angle of repose, density behaviour and discharge properties of powders and granulates.

Ensures reliable evaluation of:

• Tablet press feed behaviour
• Encapsulation performance
• Granulation & blending characteristics

📉 Tapped Density Testers – SVM II

For accurate determination of tapped density, Hausner ratio and compressibility index, ERWEKA SVM II provides:

• Programmable tapping height
• Digital control & precise volumetric measurement
• Full USP/EP/JP compliance

Essential for powder characterization, flow optimization & formulation robustness.

🔄 Friability Tester – TAR II

A high-precision USP/EP-compliant tester for measuring tablet abrasion, friability and mechanical resistance.

Features

• Automatic speed & rotation control
• Solid drum construction
• Optional sample divider
• Ideal for production QC

🧪 Vacuum Leak Tester – VDT-S

Designed for evaluating the integrity of blister packs, sachets and sealed packaging.

Benefits

• Vacuum-based micro-leak detection
• Quick pass/fail evaluation
• Protects moisture- and oxygen-sensitive products
