Particle Strength Testing Machine
Category：Battery Performance Tester
Introduction
The Particle Strength Tester is a high-precision instrument designed to measure the mechanical strength of individual particles, granules, and catalyst carriers. It provides versatile testing capabilities—including compression, tension, shear, and indentation—to evaluate particle durability and resistance under controlled conditions. Equipped with intelligent automation, environmental control options, and advanced data acquisition, it is suitable for laboratories, quality control, and research & development in chemical, pharmaceutical, and material science industries.

FAQ
1. What is a Particle Strength Tester used for?
It measures the mechanical strength, breakage resistance, or durability of individual particles, granules, or powders.
2. How does the tester operate?
The instrument applies controlled compression, impact, or shear forces to particles and records the force required to break or deform them.
3. What types of materials can be tested?
Suitable for powders, pellets, granules, pharmaceutical tablets, food particles, and chemical or polymer particles.
4. How is test data recorded and analyzed?
Strength values, breakage points, and force-deformation data are collected digitally and can be displayed, stored, or exported for analysis.
5. What maintenance is required for the tester?
Regular cleaning of sample holders and force sensors, calibration checks, inspection of moving parts, and timely replacement of worn or damaged components
