Machine Overview

Our Semi-Automatic Tablet Counting and Filling Machine combines intelligent electronics with rugged mechanical engineering to deliver maximum accuracy with minimum intervention. With advanced cross beam frame sensors, programmable PLC control, and adjustable vibration speeds, this machine ensures every count is precise.

Key Operational Features & Workflow

Here’s how our tablet counting machine operates:

1. Manual Bottle Handling

• Operators place empty bottles under the dual nozzles.

• Once filling is complete, the filled bottles are removed manually.

• Ideal for controlled batch production with reduced risk of mechanical errors.

2. Tablet Loading

• Tablets, capsules, or pills are loaded into a bulk hopper.

• A vibratory feeder tray ensures even and continuous flow onto the glass turntable.

3. Single File Arrangement

• Tablets form a single line as they are rotated via the glass plate and move through precision guiding channels.

• This eliminates double counts or misreads during the scanning process.

4. Diverter & Filling Station

• A diverter head guides tablets to one of two funnel fill stations.

• Bottles are filled in rotation, automatically switching between stations to enable non-stop counting.

5. Sensor-Based Counting Accuracy

• As each tablet passes through the cross beam frame fiber optic sensor, the signal is counted via a smart PLC.

• When the pre-set count is reached, the flow stops or diverts to the next bottle automatically.

6. Safety Mechanism

• If no bottle is detected under a fill station, the machine halts operation using fiber optic sensors.

• Prevents spillage and conserves energy.
