Digital Friability Apparatus

This document describes a digital friability apparatus, which is used to determine the durability of tablets from production to use. It evaluates a tablet's ability to withstand abrasion during packaging, handling, and transport. The apparatus consists of a plastic chamber, timer, and partition. It contains acrylic drums that rotate tablets, allowing them to fall and rub against each other without hard impacts. The device is connected to a digital display that shows rotation counts and other test details. Tablets are weighed before and after the test, and weight loss above 0.8% indicates unacceptable friability. The digital friability apparatus provides an accurate, reliable way to measure tablet strength and abrasion.

Digital friability
apparatus
• Digital friability test apparatus is
specially used to determine the
durability of tablets from the time
of production to the time use.
• Friability test is also performed to
evaluate the ability of the tablets
to withstand abrasion in packing,
handling and transporting.
• It is also called as friabilator
Parts of the
Instrument
• Plastic chamber
• Timer
• Partition

Procedure
• A number of tablets weighed
and placed in tumbling
chamber .
• This chamber rotated for four
minutes or 100 revolutions.
• During each revolution tablets
fall from a distance of six
inches to undergo shock
Cont…

• Each of two acrylic drums


provided with an arm which
carries the tablets along with it
up to specific height and allows
them to fall from specific
height,while the drums are
rotating.
• Thus the tablet rub against each
other without hard impact.
• It is fitted with digital revolution
Cont…

• The digital LCD screen displays


various important massages
regarding the test like –set
rotations and actual rotations of
test.
• Tablets are weighed before and
after the test and the difference
is weight for particular time prior
indication the rate of abrasion.
Cont…
• After 100 revolutions the
tablet are again weighed
and loss in weight indicates
the friability.
• Acceptable limits of weight
loss should not be more
than 0.8%
Salient features
• Accurate, reliable and stable.
• Instrument for measuring
abrasion and strength of
tablet.
• Sturdy motor to drive drums
at constant speed.
• Powerful, sturdy motor
