Automatic Capsule Hardness Tester
Instrument description
Software-controlled automatic instrument for measuring the hardness and compressive strength of capsules, gelatin substrates, and soft or elastic materials.
This instrument allows a compressive force to be automatically applied to the product, following a programmable cycle to assess the deformation resistance and the compliance with the required standards.
Particularly suitable for quality control in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food and related sectors, it is a reliable solution for testing delicate products that comply with specific regulatory requirements.
Key Features of the instrument
• Motorised probe displacement device with 0.0001 mm resolution
• Load cell for measuring applied force with full scale 60 N and resolution 0.001 N
• Automatic rotation of probe plate for automatic testing of several capsules
• Digital display for instrument handling and direct reading of force and displacement.
Key Features of the instrument
• The software allows predefined test cycles and the preparation of customised cycles.
• Graphical representation of force vs. displacement curves
• Product identification by barcode and verification of tolerance limits of results
• Automatic storage of results and curves in SQL databases.
Force Application Device
The instrument is supplied with a cylindrical force application device.
The main advantages of this device are:
• Possibility to rotate or remove the device between subsequent tests
• Possibility to apply the product to be tested on the device to test the adhesion of product on product.
Devices with different shapes are available on request
Intechangeable Sample Holder
The plate to which the specimen is applied can have different shapes depending on the type of product to be tested.
The specimen holders are interchangeable to facilitate preparation
Test report
Can be printed or saved to pdf in one of the available languages. The format of the Test Report can be customized by the user.
Management of Test Results
The results and test curves of all the tests carried out are saved in the Gibitre SQL database and are available through the Datagest program.
Datagest is the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) which is always installed in combination with all Gibitre instrument-control programs.
The program is the collector for all the test result produced with the instruments connected and permits to manage the common Archives used by the instruments (Product List, Customer List, Tolerance limits, Order List, etc)
Industry 4.0 integration
The instrument and the software have been specifically developed to optimize integration with other environments.
The database in SQL format and the Gibitre_Company_Connect program allows you synchronize your company management software with Gibitre database and to speed up the identification of the tests and to use bar-code readers or similar devices.
Hardware requirements
• Programs can be installed on standard PCs with WINDOWS 10 or 11 OPERATING SYSTEM.
• The CONNECTION between the instruments and the PC is made using the USB CABLE supplied with the instrument.
• The programs are COMPATIBLE WITH ANTIVIRUS, and other programs installed on the PC.
Language Selection
All the programs produced by Gibitre are multi-language and allow the operator to select the language of use.
The test report can be produced in the desired language regardless of the language of use of the program.
The languages available at the moment are: Italian, English, German, French, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Turkish, Polish, Czech
Development and production
The instrument is totally developed and produced in the plant of Gibitre Instruments in Italy.
All the mechanical parts are produced in the company workshop using modern CNC machines.
Components and sensors from well-known brands are selected in order to ensure the maximum reliability in the measures
Internal trained personnel takes care of all the production stages: assembly, start-up, calibration, packing, shipment and installation.
