Automatic 12-channel Tablet & Capsule Counting Machine

Description

The 12-channel tablet and capsule counting machine TM4600 is an automatic counting packaging machine for dispensing capsules, tablets, pills, and sugar-coated tablets into bottles. TM4600 uses a KEYENCE high-accuracy optical sensor for product detection and provides high-speed counting via 12 feeding channels. Compared with other counting machines with fewer channels, TM4600 has a higher production speed, as high as 2200- 6000 pieces/minute, which provides high-speed counting and filling production for the pharmaceutical industry and nutritional supplement industries. In addition, TM4600 is easy to operate with a large touch screen. It can be applied to a variety of product counting without changing the parts of the feeding module to meet the needs of pharmaceutical and health food factories for automated pill counting and packaging.

How the multi-channel tablet and capsule counter achieves accurate counting.

The multi-channel tablet & capsule counting machine uses an optical sensor to detect the tablets/caplets passing through the gate for accurate counting.
First, set the required number of tablets, pills, or capsules to be counted and adjust the feeding speed according to your needs. Make sure the capsules and tablets to be counted are free of debris and remove any damaged, irregularly shaped products, then fill the product into the hopper. Do not overload the hopper to prevent jamming, which may cause inaccurate counting.
After starting the machine, the products in the hopper will be dispersed and arranged on each channel through vibration. Then the optical sensor detects the product at the end of the channel. Once the quantity reaches the set number, the gates will open and drop the product into the bottle through the filling nozzle.

Designed and manufactured in compliance with GMP, the perfect counting machine for the pharmaceutical industry.

The TM4600 uses high-speed optical sensor systems and computer control systems to provide advanced technology for the pharmaceutical, biotech, food, and cosmetic industries to count and pack most types of tablets and capsules. It is especially ideal for the pharmaceutical and nutritional supplements industries. It does not have the problem of inconsistent product numbers from the weigh-filling system, and it is easier to maintain than a counting machine with a visual inspection system, meeting the accuracy and stability requirements of automated counting and filling production.

Neostarpack tablet and capsule counting machines are designed and manufactured according to GMP, whether you are a Chinese medicine factory, a Western medicine factory, a biotech pharmaceutical company, or a food factory, we can provide professional pre-sales consultation and perfect after-sales service to plan the most satisfactory counting and filling solution according to your needs. The 12-channel tablet and capsule counting machine combines high-speed counting, accuracy, versatility, and automation to help pharmaceutical and food packaging industries achieve better productivity.
