The Keypack Intelligent Fully Automatic 24-Channel Electronic Tablet Counting Machine (KB-24S) is a mid-to-high-speed, 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 10–80 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 demanding production environments. Ideal for pharmaceutical tablet bottling, capsule counting lines, nutraceutical supplement packaging, and contract packaging operations requiring reliable automated counting at medium-to-high throughput.
Product Overview
The Keypack Intelligent (kunbupack) KB-24S electronic tablet counting machine operates through a 24-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 24 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 24-channel configuration delivers a meaningful throughput increase over lower-channel counting systems, making the KB-24S well suited for mid-to-large-scale pharmaceutical manufacturing and nutraceutical bottling operations. The unique flap-type dispensing structure ensures stable, even material discharge, protecting fragile products such as soft gelatin capsules, enteric-coated tablets, and irregular-shaped tablets from damage during the counting and filling process.
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. Operators can be trained quickly, and all key components can be dismantled, cleaned, and reassembled without tools, supporting efficient changeovers and GMP-compliant sanitation protocols.
Key Features and Machine Characteristics
24-Channel Vibration Feeding for Reliable High-Speed Tablet Counting
The 24-channel vibration feeding system distributes products evenly across all counting channels, enabling simultaneous counting and filling at speeds up to 80 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 high-speed tablet counting capability supports mid-to-large-volume pharmaceutical manufacturing and nutraceutical bottling operations where throughput and product integrity are both critical priorities.
Proprietary Anti-High-Dust Photoelectric Sensor Technology
The KB-24S 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 medium-precision counting machine 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-24S 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 contract packaging 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.
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 Prescription and OTC Products
Pharmaceutical manufacturers use the KB-24S for automated counting and bottling of solid oral dosage forms including prescription tablets, OTC medications, antibiotic capsules, and traditional medicine pills. 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 high-speed tablet counting machine for multivitamin tablets, mineral supplement capsules, herbal extract capsules, probiotic capsules, omega-3 softgels, and sports nutrition tablets. The 24-channel configuration supports solid production volumes for popular supplement SKUs, while the gentle flap-type dispensing structure protects soft capsules and coated tablets from surface damage that could affect product appearance and consumer perception. 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-24S 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: Multi-Product Counting and Bottling Services
Contract packaging facilities benefit from the KB-24S's broad product compatibility, adjustable parameters, and tool-free maintenance design, enabling rapid changeover between different client products, count quantities, and bottle sizes. The intelligent control system allows quick parameter adjustments when switching between tablet types, capsule sizes, or fill counts, while the tool-free dismantling supports thorough cleaning between different client products to prevent cross-contamination. The 24-channel configuration provides strong production capacity for contract packagers serving pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and health supplement clients with varying volume requirements.
Integrated Pharmaceutical Packaging Line Deployment
The KB-24S 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.
The precision sensor architecture and flexible parameter control of the KB-24S also extend its counting capability well beyond pharmaceutical bottling, making it a practical solution for consumer electronics, food processing, and automotive industries where accurate small-part counting is equally critical.
