The invention relates to a device for automatically carrying out quality control of test items, such as lozenges, tablets, pills, or dragées, for determining mechanical-physical properties of the same, such as weight, dimensions, disintegration time in a medium and hardness. Said device is comprised of a feeding device (3, 6), of a conveying star (2) with peripherally arranged receiving chambers (5) for each individual test item, of a hardness tester (13), optionally, of a scale (7) and of a device (8) for determining the dimensions of the test item. In order to transfer the test item, a linear conveyor (18) is connected to the exit (11) of the conveying star (2). The hardness tester (13) is connected to said linear conveyor, and the linear conveyor (18) is tangentially arranged on the conveying start (2). According to the invention, the process step involving the measurement of a test item is detached from the remaining process steps and this process step involving the measurement of a test item is carried out in parallel during the remaining process steps carried out on another test item. |
