Our **Hardness Tester** is a high-precision instrument specifically designed for the pharmaceutical industry to measure the structural integrity and breaking point of tablets. Also known as a Tablet Hardness Tester, this device ensures that manufactured tablets are strong enough to withstand mechanical stress during packaging and transport, while also being capable of dissolving correctly once ingested. We offer a range of models, from the classic Monsanto and Pfizer types to advanced microprocessor-based digital systems that provide instantaneous and highly accurate readings. Each unit is built with high-grade stainless steel components and calibrated sensors to provide repeatable results. As a global exporter, we ensure our testers comply with USP/BP/IP standards, making them an essential tool for Quality Control (QC) and Research & Development (R&D) laboratories worldwide to maintain the highest dosage consistency.
This instrument is primarily used to determine the amount of force required to break a tablet in a diametrical manner. It is utilized in production lines for batch-to-batch verification of tablet strength. Scientists use it to evaluate the effect of different binders and compression forces on tablet stability. It also helps in determining the optimal storage conditions based on the hardness profile of the formulation.
Hardness Testers find extensive application in the Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical industries for testing tablets, caplets, and lozenges. They are critical in generic drug manufacturing to ensure bio-equivalence. Beyond pharma, specialized versions are used in the food industry for testing the crunchiness of confectionery products and in the chemical industry for testing compacted granular materials.
The significance of a hardness tester lies in its direct correlation with tablet disintegration and drug dissolution. If a tablet is too hard, it may not dissolve in the stomach; if too soft, it may crumble before reaching the patient. Our testers provide the precise "Newton" or "Kilopound" values needed to ensure that the medication is both durable for shipping and effective for the end-user.

Most of our digital hardness testers provide readings in Newtons (N), Kilopounds (kp), or Strong-Cobb (SC) units for versatile analysis.
Yes, our testers come with adjustable jaws that can accommodate round, oval, oblong, and even uniquely shaped caplets up to 30mm in size.
Absolutely. All our digital testers are supplied with calibration certificates traceable to national standards to ensure compliance with audit requirements.
Monsanto is a manual, handheld spring-based tester for quick checks, while Digital models use load cells for highly precise, automated measurements.
