Friability drums have been designed for testing the rolling and impact durability of tablets and has a single curved baffle which allows the tablest to be tested to rise and then drop through a distance of approx. 156mm.
Premature fracture or sign of wear at the edges indicates that such tablets may not withstand the rigours of transport.


Abrasion drums are avaliable for carrying out tests into attrition as an extra option. The abrasion drum has a diamter of 20cm with a series of baffles wich carry the tablet to a predetermined height before sliding off and reproduces the action of the tablets rubbing against each other during transport.
