Automatic tablet counters for the pharmaceutical industry

A tablet counting machine is designed to handle a wide range of production batches, from medium to large scale. These machines are capable of accurately counting tablets and capsules of various sizes and shapes, ensuring flexibility across industries. Their versatility extends to counting bulk quantities as well as single-piece discharges into any type of packaging, making them adaptable to different production needs. In the pharmaceutical sector, accurate tablet counting is critical to ensure that every bottle is filled with the correct number of tablets or capsules, whether it’s for products like aspirin, paracetamol, or coated tablets for specialized medications such as extended-release tablets.

Maximizing precision and versatility across multiple industries

By minimizing human error, a tablet counter ensures both precision and speed in the counting and filling process, maximizing efficiency and productivity. An automatic tablet counting machine can significantly streamline your workflow, making it an essential tool not only for the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries but also for other sectors. In the food industry, it can be used to count chewable vitamins, dietary supplements, or breath freshener tablets, while in the cosmetics industry, it can count skincare and cosmetic products like effervescent beauty supplements or hair and nail health tablets.

Tablet counting how it works

Our tablet counting and filling machines are equipped with multiple sensors, vibratory plates, and dust extraction systems. To start counting a wide range of tablets is first loaded into a bulk hopper, where they are gradually transported into the machine via a vertical or horizontal conveyor belt. The tablets are then evenly distributed onto a vibratory plate in small portions. The vibrations help separate the tablets, ensuring they are properly aligned as they move toward the scan unit. Once there, sensors detect and count each tablet as it falls. Separation flaps act as buffers, ensuring that the count is accurate before discharging the tablets into bottles or other containers.

Seamless integration

The tablet counter machines are ideal for high-speed production lines, efficiently handling large volumes of tablets while minimizing downtime. Constructed with stainless steel parts and components, they are easy to clean and maintain without the need for tools, making them an indispensable asset for efficient pharmaceutical production. The automatic tablet counting machine can seamlessly integrate into existing pharmaceutical production systems, including bottle or container handling, capping, and labeling. Its adaptability ensures a smooth workflow, enhancing overall production efficiency from start to finish.
