Automatic Drug Cone Penetration Tester

YJ-0983EAutomatic Drug Cone Penetration Tester (equipped with one type of cone)

Introduction:

This instrument is an automatic intelligent device designed and manufactured in accordance with the technical requirements and relevant provisions specified in the 2025 Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China, General Rule 0983 "Cone Penetration Test Method", and the standard GB 1790-2003 "Medical Vaseline". It is mainly applicable to semi-solid substances such as ointments, pastes, and their common matrix materials (such as vaseline, lanolin, beeswax), to control their properties such as softness, hardness, and viscosity, and to avoid affecting the spreadability of the drug. The drug cone penetration refers to the depth that a cone of a certain mass penetrates into the test sample within 5 seconds after being released downward by the cone penetration tester at 25°C under the action of free fall.

I. Main Functional Features

1. The instrument is mainly composed of parts such as the chassis bracket, touch display, screw lifting system, constant temperature control system, cone rod assembly, and displacement measurement system.

2. Adopts computer control technology to automatically complete the cone penetration test, and automatically display the test results after the experiment is completed.

3. Adopts a touch screen human-machine interface, with intuitive display, rich content, and convenient operation.

4. Adopts an automatic lifting structure, with smooth lifting and accurate positioning. Uses a knob encoder switch and a lifting button switch, and drives the screw slider through a stepper motor to achieve fast jog and high-precision adjustment.

5. The instrument has an integrated constant temperature water bath inside, with constant temperature control functions of refrigeration and heating. It adopts semiconductor refrigeration technology and PID control algorithm, with a temperature control accuracy of up to ±0.1°C, meeting the temperature requirements of national standards.

6. The designed cold light source cone illumination technology makes cone alignment convenient and accurate. The cone rod assembly mechanism has high precision, is easy to disassemble, and strictly meets the requirements of national standards.

7. The system can store 200 sets of data, which can be directly viewed on the touch screen or exported via U disk data transfer. At the same time, the system has a built-in 485 interface (MODBUS protocol), which can realize real-time network connection of data.

8. The self-developed computer control software can realize communication with the computer and complete the cone penetration test.

9. The standard configuration of the instrument host includes one type of cone, and optional accessories include No. I cone, No. II cone, No. III cone, sample cup, and optional micro printer.

10. This instrument has a software copyright certificate, with the certificate number 6097415.
