Erweka GmbH products

The ERWEKA DT light Series delivers the proven ERWEKA quality in a comprehensive package for a budget for simple dissolution testing with USP method 1, 2, 5 and 6. The DTs are equipped with 6, 8 or 12 test stations and a fixed drive head (high-head), allowing easy access to each 1000 ml vessel.

The ERWEKA DT 720 series has been designed in accordance with USP/EP/JP requirements for testing tablets and other dosage forms. It combines state-of-the-art with excellent and user-friendly design. The high-head and low-head operating modes offer highest flexibility. The tester can be used as a stand-alone device as well as a dissolution system equipped with an automated sampling station, operated via the ERWEKA Disso.NET software.

The ERWEKA Dissolution Offline System is the ideal semi-automatic solution for dissolution testing with automated sampling and subsequent sample storage for later analysis. The system is controlled by a DT 820 series dissolution tester with advanced intelligence.

The ERWEKA ZT 120 light series is the perfect entry-level disintegration tester with one or two motor driven USP/EP/JP compliant test station. The compact unit of our light series is equipped with an integrated flow-through heater and a moulded one-piece PET water bath (no leaking / breaking, easy to clean) with cover.

The TAR series is a USP/EP/JP compliant ERWEKA unit for testing friability and/or abrasion. Programming is easily performed by the symbol style keypad. The rotation speed can be programmed between 20 and 100 rpm and test run duration can be set in either time or total number of revolutions. During the test run, the actual rotation speed and the remaining test run duration are shown on bright LED displays. For larger samples, the complete unit can be set to the USP/EP required 10° position by a standard switching leg.

The manual ERWEKA SMG 697 and SMG 53466 are the units for the reproducible determination of apparent bulk density, which can be used with all free flowing powders or granules. According to DIN ISO 697 and DIN 53 466, the apparent bulk density is determined by measuring the mass of powder in a receiver of known dimension after filling from a funnel of a specified shape under specified conditions. Included in the delivery are the apparatus SMG 697 or SMG 53466, operating instructions and a calibration certificate.

The devices of the ERWEKA granulate flow tester family were developed to determine the flow behavior of powders and granules using various measurement methods.

The TBH 125 is the ERWEKA basic device for testing tablet hardness (dual-mode: “constant speed” and “constant force”), offering accuracy, robust design as well as easy and quick handling. The unit is operated via a symbol keypad which allows effortless entering of the samples number required for testing.

The VDT/S is a vacuum leak tester for blisters and other packaging forms. The maximum vacuum (absolute pressure range up to 100 mbar) and the vacuum hold time before release can be easily set via the symbol keypad. The actual vacuum is continuously displayed on the LED display. Test run parameters such as actual/set vacuum value and hold time can be simply documented via a usb interface or a connected printer.

The ERWEKA SVM series has been designed to measure tapped volume and tapped density of powders, granules and similar products. It is available for holding one or two glass cylinders and works according USP method 1 (300 strokes/min; stroke height 14 mm) or USP method 2 (250 strokes/min; stroke height 3 mm), which is equal to Pharm.Eur. and DIN ISO EN 787/11 requirements. As a special version, the SVM 223 offers two test methods simultaneously: one test station operates according to USP method 1 and the second test station according to USP method 2.
