The Keypack Intelligent Fully Automatic 8-Channel Electronic Tablet Counting Machine (KB-8S) is a compact, sensor-based particle counting and bottle filling system engineered for accurate automated dispensing of solid pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products. It delivers a production speed of 10–40 bottles/min with photoelectric sensor-based counting accuracy that meets national pharmaceutical standards, supported by proprietary anti-high-dust sensing technology for stable operation in dust-generating production environments. Ideal for small-to-mid-scale pharmaceutical tablet bottling, capsule counting lines, and nutraceutical supplement packaging operations where space efficiency and reliable regular small particle counting are priorities.
Product Overview
The Keypack Intelligent (kunbupack) KB-8S electronic tablet counting machine operates through an 8-channel vibration feeding system integrated with photoelectric counting sensors. Empty bottles are conveyed from upstream equipment and held in position by a bottle-stopping mechanism at the filling station. Solid products — tablets, capsules, pills, or granules — are fed through corrugated vibrating plates into 8 independent counting channels. Each channel is equipped with a photoelectric counting sensor that detects and counts individual particles as they fall, dispensing a precise quantity directly into the waiting bottle below.
The KB-8S is designed as a compact, low-footprint counting solution suited to production environments where floor space is limited or production volumes call for a focused, dedicated counting line rather than a high-channel system. Despite its smaller channel count, the machine retains the full feature set of the KB series: anti-high-dust photoelectric sensing, intelligent fault detection, tool-free maintenance, and optional dust control — making it a capable low-cost counting equipment option for entry-level or specialized pharmaceutical and nutraceutical bottling lines.
The intelligent control system supports adjustable operating parameters including count quantity, vibration intensity, bottle positioning timing, and production speed. Multiple detection and alarm functions — including no-bottle-no-count protection, automatic fault self-diagnosis, and missing-bottle auto-stop — help reduce product waste and maintain consistent production quality. All key components can be dismantled, cleaned, and reassembled without tools, supporting efficient changeovers and GMP-compliant sanitation protocols.
Key Features and Machine Characteristics
8-Channel Vibration Feeding for Reliable Tablet Counting at Compact Scale
The 8-channel vibration feeding system distributes products evenly across all counting channels, enabling steady counting and filling at speeds up to 40 bottles/min. The corrugated vibrating plates generate controlled vibration patterns that gently guide tablets, capsules, and pills into counting chambers without chipping, cracking, or deforming fragile dosage forms. This focused channel configuration makes the KB-8S a practical choice for dedicated product lines, pilot-scale pharmaceutical production, and nutraceutical bottling operations where a compact, reliable tablet counting machine is preferred over a larger multi-channel system.
Proprietary Anti-High-Dust Photoelectric Sensor Technology
The KB-8S incorporates proprietary anti-high-dust photoelectric sensing technology, enabling stable and accurate counting even in high-dust environments generated during tablet and capsule vibration feeding. Conventional photoelectric sensors are prone to false counts caused by airborne particulate matter; this dust-resistant design maintains counting accuracy and reduces the need for frequent sensor cleaning, supporting continuous production with fewer interruptions. Counting accuracy meets national pharmaceutical standards for fill count compliance, making this a dependable dust-sensitive counting device for regulated production environments.
Intelligent Control with Multi-Function Detection and Alarm System
The intelligent control interface allows operators to set and adjust count quantities, vibration intensity, bottle positioning timing, and production speed to match different products and bottle formats. Built-in detection functions include no-bottle-no-count protection (prevents dispensing when no bottle is present), automatic fault self-diagnosis (identifies and displays operational issues), and missing-bottle photoelectric detection triggering automatic shutdown. These features reduce product waste, minimize operator intervention, and support consistent quality control across production shifts.
Broad Product Compatibility for Solid Dosage Forms
The KB-8S is compatible with a wide range of solid dosage forms: standard and irregular-shaped tablets, hard capsules in sizes 000 through 5, transparent and opaque soft capsules (diameter 5.5–22 mm), pills up to 20 mm in diameter, and sugar-coated tablets. This broad compatibility makes the machine suitable for multi-product pharmaceutical facilities and nutraceutical operations handling diverse formulations without requiring separate counting equipment for each product type.
Tool-Free Maintenance and Simple Operation
All key components — counting chambers, vibrating feeding plates, and dispensing nozzles — can be dismantled, cleaned, and reassembled without tools, reducing changeover time and supporting thorough sanitation between product runs. Operators require only basic training to set parameters and operate the machine, lowering the skill threshold for production staff and reducing reliance on specialized technicians for routine maintenance tasks. This ease of operation makes the KB-8S a practical low-cost counting equipment option for facilities with lean staffing models.
Optional Modules for Enhanced Performance
Two optional configurations are available to extend machine capability. The special anti-clogging filling nozzle features a purpose-designed structure that prevents tablet or capsule jamming at the bottle opening, enabling fast and reliable filling even for bottles with smaller neck diameters. The sealed dust collection box captures airborne particulate matter generated during feeding and counting, reducing dust dispersion in the production area and supporting cleaner working environments in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical facilities.
Application Areas
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Tablet and Capsule Counting for Small-to-Mid-Scale Production
Pharmaceutical manufacturers use the KB-8S for automated counting and bottling of solid oral dosage forms including prescription tablets, OTC medications, antibiotic capsules, and traditional medicine pills at small-to-mid-scale production volumes. The machine handles standard round tablets, irregular-shaped tablets, hard capsules in multiple sizes, and soft gelatin capsules — covering the majority of solid dosage forms encountered in pharmaceutical production. The anti-high-dust sensor technology maintains counting accuracy when handling products that generate significant particulate matter during vibration feeding, supporting consistent fill counts and regulatory compliance in GMP-certified pharmaceutical facilities.
Nutraceutical and Dietary Supplement Bottling
Nutraceutical producers deploy this tablet counting machine for multivitamin tablets, mineral supplement capsules, herbal extract capsules, probiotic capsules, omega-3 softgels, and sports nutrition tablets at focused production volumes. The 8-channel configuration is well suited to specialty supplement SKUs, limited-edition formulations, and dedicated single-product lines where a compact, reliable counting solution is more appropriate than a high-channel system. Counting accuracy supports supplement facts panel compliance for serving size and count declarations.
Food Supplement and Health Product Packaging
Food supplement manufacturers use the KB-8S for vitamin C tablets, B-complex capsules, CoQ10 softgels, antioxidant formulations, and other health product solid dosage forms packaged in consumer retail bottles. The machine accommodates bottles ranging from 30 mm to 100 mm in diameter and 50 mm to 180 mm in height, covering standard retail supplement bottle formats. The optional dust collection box supports cleaner production environments aligned with food safety and GMP requirements for health product manufacturing.
Contract Packaging and Pilot Production Lines
Contract packaging facilities and pilot production operations benefit from the KB-8S's compact footprint, broad product compatibility, adjustable parameters, and tool-free maintenance design. The machine enables rapid changeover between different client products, count quantities, and bottle sizes, while the intelligent control system allows quick parameter adjustments when switching between tablet types or capsule sizes. The KB-8S is particularly suited to contract packagers handling lower-volume specialty orders, pharmaceutical pilot lines validating new formulations, and nutraceutical startups establishing initial production capacity before scaling to higher-channel systems.
Integrated Pharmaceutical Packaging Line Deployment
The KB-8S is designed for integration into complete pharmaceutical and nutraceutical packaging lines. It receives bottles from upstream conveying equipment and positions them automatically at the filling station. Downstream, the filled bottles can connect to capping machines, induction sealers, labeling systems, batch coding equipment, and case packers to form a fully automated bottling line. This line integration capability supports continuous production in pharmaceutical manufacturing plants, nutraceutical bottling facilities, and food supplement packaging operations serving retail, hospital supply, and export distribution channels.
