The FT 2 excels with simple and user-friendly operation: fast “iButton” operation allow for quick navigation through the user menu.

Efficient tablet loading is another feature of the friability tester: At test start, the drum automatically rotates to its loading position – an opening in the anti-static drum allows samples to be conveniently inserted without having to remove the drum. At the end of the test, tablets are automatically discharged into a tray.

Tests can be performed in two different modes:

• Time mode
• Revolution / rotation count mode

The FT 2 features a maintenance-free drive with programmable rotational speed (20 – 50 rpm) and ensures gentle starting and stopping of the drum. The anti-static drums are designed to fully engage with the drive to prevent any slippage.

The capacity of the front-load FT 2 friability tester can be extended by using two drums instead of just one drum.

A 10° tilt of the drum is provided by an adjustment in the base of the instrument. This tilt is used to prevent irregular tumbling, causing non-reproducible results. The FT 2 fulfills all requirements of USP <1216>, EP 2.9.7 and other Pharmacopoeias. It is available with friability drums as well as abrasion drums (Rus. Pharm.).
