Pharmaceutical Tablet Counting and Bottling Machine

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Pharmaceutical Tablet Counting and Bottling Machine

Definition

This industrial-scale automated device is designed for the final packaging stage of solid oral dosage forms. It precisely counts pharmaceutical tablets using optical or mechanical sensors and transfers them into consumer-ready bottles or containers. The machine integrates with capping, labeling, and inspection systems to create complete packaging lines for retail pharmaceutical products. It ensures accurate dosage counts, minimizes human handling contamination, and meets GMP requirements for finished pharmaceutical preparations.

The machine is constructed with materials suitable for pharmaceutical environments, including stainless steel 316L, food-grade polycarbonate, and pharmaceutical-grade silicone. It handles bottle sizes from 20 to 200 ml and tablet diameters from 3 to 25 mm. Counting speeds range from 3000 to 6000 tablets per minute, with a counting accuracy of ±0.01% per 1000 tablets. The equipment requires a three-phase electrical supply of 380–415 V AC (50/60 Hz) and consumes 2.5–4.0 kW. Compressed air consumption is 0.5–0.7 SCFM. The machine footprint is 2500×1200×1700 mm, and its weight ranges from 800 to 1200 kg depending on options. It operates in ambient temperatures of 10–40 °C and relative humidity up to 85% (non-condensing). The ingress protection rating is IP54–IP65 per IEC 60529, and noise level is ≤75 dB(A) at 1 m distance per ISO 3744.

This equipment is intended for integration into pharmaceutical packaging lines. Buyers must verify model-specific values and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier, as the listed parameters are reference ranges. The machine is not a complete packaging line by itself; it requires integration with upstream and downstream equipment. It is not certified for any specific regulatory standard unless explicitly stated by the manufacturer. Always confirm compliance with GMP and other applicable regulations for your specific application.

Working Principle

Tablets are fed from a bulk hopper onto a vibrating tray that singulates them. Optical sensors count individual tablets as they pass through a detection zone, then a mechanical diverter channels the counted batch into waiting bottles. The system uses programmable logic controllers to manage counting accuracy, bottle indexing, and rejection of incorrect counts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum counting speed of this machine?

The maximum counting speed is 3000–6000 tablets per minute, depending on tablet size and configuration. Verify the exact speed for your specific model with the manufacturer.

What bottle sizes can this machine handle?

It can handle bottles with a volume range of 20–200 ml. Ensure your bottle dimensions fit within this range and confirm with the supplier for your specific container.

What is the counting accuracy?

The counting accuracy is ±0.01% per 1000 tablets, meaning a maximum error of 0.1 tablets per 1000. This is a reference value; actual performance may vary with tablet properties and maintenance.

What are the electrical and air requirements?

It requires a three-phase electrical supply of 380–415 V AC (50/60 Hz) and consumes 2.5–4.0 kW. Compressed air consumption is 0.5–0.7 SCFM. Confirm these with the manufacturer for your installation.
