Erweka India MultiCheck 5.1

MultiCheck 5.1
Overview

The MultiCheck 5.1 automatically measures weight, thickness, diameter/length, width and hardness of round and odd shaped samples.

The advanced design of the unit offers innovative functions such as switchable hardness testing principle (“Constant-Speed” and “Constant-Force”), fully automatic speed adjustment of tablet singulation and transport independent of sample size and surface, advanced high-accuracy thickness measuring system and state-of-the-art alignment tool for irregular shaped oblongs and coated tablets.

The new MultiCheck 5.1. comes with a system for separation of the samples via an oscillating funnel. In standard configuration the MultiCheck 5.1 offers an integrated Sartorius weighing cell (accuracy +/- 0.1 mg). On request the new unit is also available with Sartorius CPA 64 (with integrated display) or CPA 64 OCE (gaugable version with integrated display, accuracy +/- 0.01 mg).

Further the MultiCheck 5.1 can be fitted with an alignment flap, a tool which allows aligning and holding oblongs in the correct position for and while breaking.

The MultiCheck 5.1 in combination with the ERWEKA TabSelect flap/switch and the Venturi air transport system can be connected to any single or double sided tablet press.

Advanced
sample segregation system

The samples are individualised automatically by a new system for separation of the samples via an oscillating funnel and then deposited onto the weight measurement boat. From there the samples are transported to the test stations by a linear feeder which allows alignment of oblongs as well as odd shaped samples such as sugar coatings.

In case of problematic samples a down holder in the hardness test station is available as an option. A patented step in the transport way allows you to switch tablets which tend to lay on the side. The unit is controlled by an optional external PC.

Included
MC.net software

ERWEKA MC.net software is directly connected via Ethernet network connection with the Multi-Check 5.1. The Software allows PC operated external control of the hardness-/combination tester as well as online storage of user management, product data, results as well as CFR 21/11 compliant Audit Trail. Due to the high memory capacity of a PC the capacity of stored users, product data, results as well as CFR 21/11 Audit Trail is nearly unlimited. Tolerances for test-results can be individually set or automatically set according to USP or Pharm.Eur.

An optional alarm function creates stop of the unit and alarm in case a sample is out of the set pass/fail tolerance. In this case the user may check why the measured result is out of the pass/fail limit. The CFR 21/11 compliant user management allows individual definition of user groups, individual user rights for each group including additional rights for individual users etc.

Similar to users the MC.net software allows to switch product data inactive and, on request, only to display active product data. The MC.net software is a tool to create various statistical reports from the test-results, such as test-run statistics, graphical batch statistics, trend analysis etc. The integrated CFR 21/11 compliant Audit Trail tool of the MC.net software automatically stores all Audit Trail data of the connected unit. The Audit Trail data may be sorted according to date or user/user group, displayed and printed for hard-copy documentation.
