Counting tablets by hand is one of the most difficult and slow tasks in a pharmaceutical business. When workers count tablets manually, it is very easy to make mistakes due to eye strain and fatigue. These counting errors can lead to serious problems, such as customer complaints or even legal issues with health regulators. Manual handling also increases the risk of contamination, as the tablets are exposed to the open air and human touch for a long time.
A Tablet Counting Machine from Fillpack Industries is the ideal solution for these challenges. This machine is built to count hundreds of tablets or capsules in seconds with 100% accuracy. By using an automated system, you remove the risk of human error and ensure that every bottle contains the exact number of tablets listed on the label. This keeps your business safe, compliant, and professional.
How the Machine Works and Its Parts
The machine is designed for accurate, fast, and contamination-free tablet counting. It uses advanced technology to ensure that no tablet is missed during the process.
Main Parts of the Machine
Tablet Hopper: A large stainless steel container at the top where the bulk tablets or capsules are stored before counting.
Vibratory Feeding System: A tray that vibrates gently to move the tablets forward in a steady, single layer.
Counting Channel / Sensor System: High-speed electronic sensors that “see” and count every single tablet as it passes through the channels.
Bottle Holding Platform or Conveyor: A system that holds the bottles in place and moves them forward once they have received the correct count.
Simple Step-by-Step Process
Feeding: Tablets are loaded into the hopper, where they are protected from dust.
Separation: The vibratory tray ensures tablets move smoothly and separately through the channels.
Counting: As the tablets fall, high-precision sensors count each one accurately.
Filling: Once the target number is reached, the correct number of tablets drop into the bottle waiting below.
Output: The filled bottles move out safely, making way for the next empty bottle to be filled.
Why Use a Tablet Counting Machine?
Accurate tablet counting every time: Advanced sensors ensure that every bottle has the perfect count, eliminating the risk of under-filling or over-filling.
