This series of Instruments is designed to automatically measure four parameters for either round or odd shaped tablet forms. These parameters are: Weight, Height, Diameter (or Length) and Hardness. The WHT 3 ME has a special system in the length / hardness section (sample orientation flaps) which can move an oblong tablet (for example) into the correct orientation for length and then hardness testing regardless of the angle at which it arrives at the measuring point. The carousel design which holds up to 20 tablets allows the use of the WHT 3ME without any multiple batch feeding system.
Two different Batch Feeder Systems are available for auto transport of samples directly into the WHT 3ME Testing System, a single Batch Feeder WHT SM1 or a 10 Batch Feeder WHT SM.
The 2 instruments, Feeder and Testing System, are not connected to each other to avoid vibration transfer, which means higher throughput and to ease the cleaning of both units.
The system control is provided by an external PC. All systems are supplied with the WHT32 Software package which allows full documentation of the results, with special banding showing acceptable and non-acceptable product tolerances. The software package is available as a fully 21 CFR Part 11 compliant version.
