Pharma Test Tapped Density Tester includes Operating Manual and IQ/OQ Document Package

Pharma Test PT-TD300 Tapped Density Tester with Manual & IQ/OQ Documentation Package

The Pharma Test PT-TD300 Tapped Density Tester is a high-precision pharmaceutical testing instrument designed to measure the tapped density, tapped volume, settlement volume, and flowability characteristics of powdered, granulated, or flaked samples. The PT-TD300 utilizes standardized mechanical stroke heights and tapping frequencies to determine Hausner Ratio and Carr's Compressibility Index. Featuring dual-station testing positions, the instrument accommodates both 100 mL and 250 mL graduated cylinders simultaneously or independently. Equipped with a digital LED interface, integrated noise-reduction housing, and an RS-232 printer/data export port, this system comes complete with the original Operating Manual and a comprehensive Installation Qualification (IQ) and Operational Qualification (OQ) Document Package to facilitate immediate GMP cleanroom and analytical laboratory validation.

Technical Performance & Structural Attributes

• Full Pharmacopeial Compliance: Engineered to perform automated testing in strict accordance with USP Method I (300 drops/min at 14 mm height) and Method II (250 drops/min at 3 mm height).
• Dual Cylinder Testing Capability: Dual-station platform allows simultaneous or independent testing of two graduated cylinders (100 mL or 250 mL) to increase sample throughput.
• Integrated Quiet-Drive Mechanism: Low-noise internal motor drive and shock-absorbing mounting feet reduce mechanical noise and bench vibration during extended tapping cycles.
• Digital Keypad & Counter Display: Intuitive LED controller allows precise programming of total tap counts (up to 99,999 taps) with real-time countdown display and auto-stop functionality.
• Complete Validation Package: Includes factory Operating Manual alongside factory-certified IQ/OQ protocols to streamline internal quality system compliance and audit readiness.
