6D(SG)
The 6D(SG) has been specifically designed for testing soft gelatin capsules. Testing the
elasticity of soft gels typically serves as an indicator of whether the product can be releasedto-pack providing a reliable and repeatable measure to prevent failure during packaging.
Utilizing the 6D(SG) is a convenient and efficient method for determining correlated gelatin
moisture content values in a production environment. Four different test modes including a
burst strength test also make the 6D(SG) an ideal instrument for R&D.
Elasticity test
Measurements:
Initial diameter (or width) of the capsule
Diameter of the capsule at the end of the test
Force required to compress the capsule
Test start
Measurements:
Initial diameter (or width) of the capsule
Diameter of the capsule at the end of the test
Force required to compress the capsule
A: Initial diameter
B: Diameter at end of the test
Measurements:
Initial diameter of the capsule
Diameter of the capsule at the point of failure
Force required to burst the capsule

Professional Reporting
Upon completion of a test run (up to 100 tested samples),
a report is automatically printed without requiring PC
software. In addition to individual measurements, the
test report includes statistics (e.g. mean value, max. and
min. values, Sabs & Srel), graphs, product information
and starting date & time. Calibration and verification reports can also be printed whenever needed.
