The Broad Application of Automatic Counting Machines in Pharmaceutical Industries

With the rapid development of science and technology, the demand for automatic operation in many industries is growing. And people require higher quality equipment, especially for pharmaceutical equipment.


The automatic counting machine is used for counting tablets, capsules or pills. It is mainly used in pharmaceutical, food, chemical, cosmetics and other industries to improve efficiency and productivity.


How Is an Automatic Counting Machine Used in the Pharmaceutical Industry?

The automatic counting machine plays an important role in the pharmaceutical industry. It can be used to calculate the number of tablets, and can work with the filling machines to achieve the simultaneous operation of counting and filling. In this process, it can also remove dust, detect damaged tablets, and eliminate defective products to ensure the safety and accuracy of drug packaging.

Working Principle:

Tablets loaded from the hopper are aligned on a 3-level vibratory plates and continuously fed into the tunnel where the infrared dynamic counting sensors are distributed around. Utilizing the photoelectric effect, the counting sensors receive the signal and transfer it to MCU once detecting tablets. The counting function is realized through the cooperation of electronics and machinery, with high accuracy. Tablets in each 12 tracks converge to one filling gate and two vibratory filling nozzles fill bottles in two separate channels at the same time. When its filling quantity meets the parameter value set by the MCU programming, the bottle will be released by the cylinder and transported to the next process.


What Are the Benefits of Using an Automatic Counting Machine in the Pharmaceutical Industry?

1. Small volume, light weight, accurate counting and simple operation;

2. Strong compatibility; Suitable for pills, tablets, soft and hard capsules and other solid drug particles;

3. Reduce labor cost and improve operation efficiency.
