Key Features and Machine Characteristics
24-Channel Vibration Feeding System for High-Speed Production
The multi-channel vibration feeding system with 24 independent channels enables simultaneous counting and filling of 24 bottles per cycle, dramatically increasing production throughput compared to single-channel or low-channel counting machines. The vibrating corrugated feeding plates ensure uniform product distribution across all 24 counting chambers while the unique flap dispensing mechanism delivers stable material flow without damaging fragile tablets, capsules, or soft capsules. This high-capacity multi-channel architecture is particularly valuable for large-scale pharmaceutical manufacturers producing high-volume tablet products, nutraceutical companies packaging popular supplement formulations, and contract packaging operations serving multiple clients requiring efficient bottle filling with minimal changeover time between different products.
Anti-High-Dust Photoelectric Sensing Technology
The Keypack anti-high-dust photoelectric sensing technology maintains reliable counting accuracy in challenging pharmaceutical production environments where tablet dust from compression operations, capsule powder from filling processes, and product particles create dusty conditions that compromise conventional photoelectric sensors. The specialized sensor design prevents dust accumulation on optical surfaces and compensates for dust interference in the counting chamber, ensuring consistent accuracy across extended production runs without frequent cleaning interruptions. This dust-resistant capability is particularly important for pharmaceutical tablet packaging where tablet dust is unavoidable, nutraceutical capsule bottling where powder leakage occurs, and food supplement filling operations handling dusty granular products.
Wide Application Range for Diverse Solid Products
The counting machine accommodates diverse solid pharmaceutical products and food supplements including round tablets, shaped tablets with logos or break lines, standard gelatin capsules, vegetarian capsules, transparent soft capsules, opaque soft capsules, traditional pills, and various granular materials with consistent counting accuracy regardless of product shape, size, color, or transparency. This versatility enables pharmaceutical manufacturers to use a single counting machine for multiple product lines including pain relievers, vitamins, antibiotics, and specialty medications, while nutraceutical producers can package fish oil soft capsules, vitamin capsules, herbal supplements, and mineral tablets on the same equipment with simple parameter adjustments, maximizing equipment utilization and reducing capital investment in specialized counting equipment.
High Counting Accuracy Compliant with Pharmaceutical Standards
The automatic photoelectric counting system delivers filling accuracy compliant with national pharmaceutical packaging standards and GMP requirements, ensuring consistent bottle fill counts meeting regulatory specifications for pharmaceutical tablet packaging, nutraceutical capsule bottling, and food supplement filling operations. The precision counting prevents underfilling that causes regulatory compliance issues and customer complaints, while minimizing overfilling that increases product giveaway costs and reduces profitability in high-volume production. The counting accuracy is particularly critical for pharmaceutical products where precise dosing is essential for patient safety, expensive nutraceutical ingredients where overfilling directly impacts costs, and regulated food supplements requiring accurate label claims.
Intelligent Control System with Multiple Detection and Alarm Functions
The intelligent PLC control system features no-bottle-no-count logic preventing product waste by stopping counting operations when bottles are absent from filling positions, missing bottle detection with photoelectric sensors triggering automatic machine shutdown, and fault self-diagnosis capabilities identifying mechanical issues, sensor malfunctions, and operational problems with clear alarm messages. These intelligent safety features improve operational efficiency by preventing product spillage, reduce material waste in pharmaceutical production where active ingredients are expensive, and enhance operator safety by automatically stopping the machine when unsafe conditions are detected. The alarm system is particularly valuable in pharmaceutical manufacturing requiring strict quality control, nutraceutical production demanding consistent output, and food supplement packaging operations with minimal supervision.
Optional Anti-Clogging Nozzle for Small-Opening Bottles
The optional special structured nozzle with anti-clogging design enables smooth and fast bottling into containers with small openings including pharmaceutical bottles with narrow necks, supplement bottles with restricted openings for child-resistant caps, and specialty containers with limited access. The anti-clogging nozzle design prevents product jamming during discharge, maintains consistent filling speed, and reduces bottle changeover time when switching between different container sizes. This optional feature is particularly beneficial for pharmaceutical manufacturers packaging tablets in bottles with tamper-evident seals requiring narrow openings, nutraceutical producers using child-resistant packaging with restricted access, and supplement packagers filling bottles with small necks for portion control.
Easy Maintenance with Tool-Free Disassembly
The simple mechanical structure with tool-free disassembly enables operators to quickly remove counting chambers, feeding plates, and nozzles for cleaning between product changeovers, supporting allergen control protocols in facilities packaging multiple supplement formulations and contamination prevention in pharmaceutical production. The quick-clean design reduces changeover time from hours to minutes when switching between different tablet products, capsule formulations, or supplement varieties, while the straightforward part replacement process minimizes maintenance downtime and reduces the need for specialized technical expertise. This maintenance-friendly design is particularly valuable for contract packaging operations with frequent product changes, pharmaceutical manufacturers producing multiple tablet strengths, and nutraceutical companies with seasonal product variations.
Optional Sealed Dust-Prevention Design
The optional sealed dust-prevention design with integrated dust collection box reduces airborne dust pollution in the production environment, improving working conditions for operators and maintaining cleaner pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities. The dust collection system captures tablet dust, capsule powder, and product particles generated during the counting and filling process, preventing dust accumulation on equipment surfaces and reducing cleaning frequency. This dust control option is particularly important for pharmaceutical tablet packaging where tablet dust creates health concerns, nutraceutical capsule bottling where powder leakage affects air quality, and food supplement filling operations requiring hygienic production environments for regulatory compliance.
