Automatic Tablet Counting Machines - Precision Pharma Equipment
1. Overview:
The King automatic multi-channel tablet and capsule counting machines are advanced pharmaceutical packing devices engineered for precise counting and filling of tablets and capsules into bottles, jars, containers, and tins. These machines feature multiple channels, enabling them to simultaneously handle various sizes of tablets, capsules, and other oral dose forms, significantly boosting efficiency and productivity in the packaging process. Equipped with state-of-the-art technologies such as optical sensors, vibratory feeders, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs), these machines ensure highly accurate counting and dispensing, making them ideal for pharmaceutical applications.
2. Key Components:
- Hopper: The hopper is a large container used to store bulk quantities of tablets and capsules, which are then fed into the machine. It is typically made of stainless steel or other FDA Title 21 CFR Part 11 compliant materials.
- Vibratory Feeder: The vibratory feeder evenly distributes tablets and capsules from the hopper to the counting channels. It operates using controlled vibrations to minimise the risk of product damage and ensure smooth flow.
- Counting Channels: The counting channels are a series of parallel tracks that transport tablets and capsules towards the optical sensors. Each channel is tailored to accommodate specific sizes or shapes of tablets or capsules, enabling the simultaneous processing of multiple product types.
- Optical Sensors: The optical sensors are responsible for accurately counting the tablets and capsules as they pass through the channels. These sensors utilise advanced technologies, including infrared beams, lasers, and high-resolution cameras, to detect and count each product with precision and speed.
- Dispensing Mechanism: Once the tablets and capsules have been counted, the dispensing mechanism releases the correct quantity into the containers. The mechanism typically uses pneumatic actuators or servo motors to ensure precision and repeatability.
- Programmable Logic Controller (PLC): The PLC is the central control unit of the machine, responsible for managing the entire counting and filling process. It receives data from the optical sensors, processes it, and controls the dispensing mechanism accordingly.
3. Key Features:
- High Accuracy: The King multi-channel tablet and capsule counting machines ensure an accurate count of tablets and capsules, with an error rate typically below 0.001%.
- Speed and Efficiency: The machine's multi-channel design enables it to process multiple products simultaneously, significantly reducing processing time and increasing throughput.
- Flexibility: The machines can handle a wide range of tablet and capsule sizes and shapes, allowing for seamless integration into various pharmaceutical production lines.
- User-friendly Interface: Equipped with an intuitive touchscreen interface, the machines allow operators to easily configure and monitor the counting and filling process.
- Compliance: The machines are built to meet or exceed pharmaceutical industry standards and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) regulations, ensuring product quality and safety.
