Keypack Intelligent Semi-Automatic Particle Counting Machine (Model 6BS) designed for flexible small-batch tablet and capsule counting with automated photoelectric accuracy. It delivers 10–30 bottles/min with anti-high-dust photoelectric sensor technology meeting pharmaceutical counting standards. Ideal for small-batch pharmaceutical manufacturing, nutraceutical startup bottling, laboratory R&D sample preparation, and compounding pharmacy dispensing operations.
Product Overview
The Keypack Intelligent (kunbupack) Semi-Automatic Particle Counting Machine Model 6BS is a cost-effective photoelectric counting and bottle filling solution engineered for operations requiring automated counting accuracy with manual bottle handling flexibility. The machine operates through a vibration feeding system that transports solid dosage forms through corrugated feeding plates into the counting chamber, where photoelectric sensors detect and count individual particles to the preset quantity. Operators manually place empty bottles at the filling position and remove filled bottles after each cycle, providing production flexibility for varying bottle sizes, different count quantities, and frequent product changeovers without complex automated bottle handling infrastructure.
The vibration feeding system with unique flap dispensing mechanism ensures even and stable material discharge without damaging fragile products including soft gelatin capsules, enteric-coated tablets, and irregular-shaped tablets. The proprietary anti-high-dust photoelectric sensing technology maintains reliable counting accuracy in dusty environments commonly encountered during tablet and capsule vibration feeding, preventing false counts caused by airborne particulate matter. The special-structure anti-clogging filling nozzle accommodates bottles with small neck openings, enabling fast and reliable filling across diverse pharmaceutical bottle formats and supplement container types.
The intelligent touchscreen control system allows operators to set count quantities, adjust vibration intensity, and monitor production with minimal training. Built-in protection functions include no-bottle-no-count detection to prevent product waste, automatic fault self-diagnosis, and alarm control. All key components — feeding plates, counting chambers, and filling nozzles — support tool-free dismantling for thorough cleaning and rapid product changeover, supporting GMP-compliant sanitation protocols in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production environments.

Key Features and Machine Characteristics
1. Anti-High-Dust Photoelectric Sensor for Reliable Counting Accuracy
Proprietary anti-high-dust photoelectric sensing technology maintains stable counting accuracy in dusty production environments generated during tablet and capsule vibration feeding. This dust-resistant design prevents false counts from airborne particulate matter, ensuring consistent fill counts that meet pharmaceutical quality standards and nutraceutical labeling compliance without frequent sensor cleaning or production interruptions.
2. Vibration Feeding with Flap Dispensing for Gentle Product Handling
The vibration feeding system with unique flap dispensing mechanism gently transports products through corrugated feeding plates into the counting chamber without chipping, cracking, or deforming fragile dosage forms. This gentle handling is essential for soft gelatin capsules, enteric-coated tablets, and irregular-shaped tablets where surface damage affects product appearance, coating integrity, and consumer acceptance in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.
3. Anti-Clogging Filling Nozzle for Versatile Bottle Compatibility
The special-structure anti-clogging filling nozzle enables fast and reliable filling for bottles with small neck openings, accommodating pharmaceutical bottles from 20mm to 100mm diameter and 40mm to 180mm height. This versatile nozzle design prevents product jamming during filling of irregular-shaped tablets and capsules, supporting efficient production across diverse bottle formats without nozzle changes or production stoppages.
4. Intelligent Touchscreen Control with Multi-Function Protection
The touchscreen control interface provides intuitive parameter setting for count quantities, vibration intensity, and production speed, enabling operators to configure the machine quickly without specialized technical training. No-bottle-no-count protection prevents product waste when bottles are absent from the filling position, while automatic fault self-diagnosis and alarm functions identify operational issues and minimize unplanned downtime in small-batch production environments.
5. Tool-Free Dismantling for GMP-Compliant Cleaning and Changeover
All key components including counting chambers, vibrating feeding plates, and filling nozzles dismantle without tools, reducing changeover time and supporting thorough sanitation between product runs. This maintenance-friendly design enables rapid cleaning between different tablet strengths, capsule formulations, and supplement products, preventing cross-contamination and supporting GMP compliance in pharmaceutical manufacturing and nutraceutical production facilities.
6. Compact Footprint for Laboratory and Small Production Spaces
At 1090 × 280 × 840mm and 100kg, the compact narrow-profile design fits laboratory benches, small production rooms, and compounding pharmacy spaces with limited floor area. The slim form factor enables installation alongside existing packaging equipment without major facility modifications, making automated counting accessible for startup operations, R&D laboratories, and specialty pharmaceutical facilities with space constraints.
Application Areas
-
Pharmaceutical: small-batch tablet and capsule bottling — counting and filling prescription tablets, OTC medication capsules, and traditional medicine pills into pharmaceutical bottles from 20–100mm diameter for specialty pharmacy and small-volume manufacturing
-
Pharmaceutical: clinical trial and R&D sample preparation — precise tablet and capsule counting for investigational drug stability studies, formulation development samples, and analytical method validation requiring flexible small-batch quantities
-
Pharmaceutical: compounding pharmacy customized dispensing — counting patient-specific compounded medications, veterinary compounding formulations, and personalized medicine capsules in varying count quantities per prescription
-
Nutraceutical: startup supplement brand bottling — counting multivitamin tablets, mineral capsules, herbal extract capsules, probiotic capsules, and omega-3 softgels for new supplement brands launching with small production volumes
-
Nutraceutical: soft capsule and softgel counting — gentle vibration feeding for soft gelatin capsules (diameter 5.5–22mm) including fish oil softgels, CoQ10 capsules, and vitamin E softgels without surface damage or coating deformation
-
Food supplement: health product small-batch bottling — counting vitamin C tablets, B-complex capsules, antioxidant formulations, and functional food solid dosage forms for health product manufacturers with low to medium production volumes
-
Contract packaging: small-order pharmaceutical and supplement counting — flexible counting and bottling services for contract packagers handling multiple client products with frequent changeovers, small order quantities, and diverse bottle formats
The semi-automatic operating mode and compact form factor also make the 6BS a natural fit for non-pharmaceutical environments where manual flexibility and precise small-quantity counting matter more than high-speed automation.
