The Occasion of Developing a Pill Counting Machine

With the degree of automation in agricultural production and the pharmaceutical industry, the application of automatic capsule counting machine is becoming more and more extensive. For example, in the pharmaceutical industry, capsules and tablets need to be counted and packaged after production. The capsule counting machine is an indispensable automatic counting and packaging equipment. Satisfied with counting capsules, tablets, pills, etc. in various industries.

In the 1970s in Europe, the counting machine has been widely used. At that time, the purpose of using the counting machine in Europe was to solve the fatigue of laborers. The purpose of using the counting machine now is to reduce labor, reduce costs, and improve production efficiency. 

At that time, when the social market was relatively closed in China, the method of counting tablets at that time was still using manual counting or counting tablets, which was very simple and unhygienic.

Four Main Generations of Electronic Tablet Counting Machine

The First Generation

The first-generation electronic tablet counting machine is very small. It uses the principle of photoelectric sensor to count materials. It has the advantages of high speed and low requirements for the position where the counting particles fall.

The Second Generation

Until the end of the 1970s, the photoelectric capsule counting machine was used in the pharmaceutical industry. The emergence of the photoelectric counting machine has actually solved the labor problem, reduced the production cost, and realized the automation of the packaging cost.

Working principle: The medicine particles in the hopper vibrate continuously forward along the vibrating plate until the material falls from the photoelectric detection channel and touches the photoelectric sensor to start counting. With this method of counting, the counting speed and error accuracy of the counting machine are reduced.

The Third Generation

With the continuous development of society, users have higher and higher requirements for the pill counting machine. In 2009, the real photoelectric counting machine was born. The most advanced features of this tablet counter are radiation resistance, high performance, and low power consumption. But there are also some shortcomings such as low precision of counting particles and high maintenance cost in later period.

The Fourth Generation

In terms of counting accuracy and post-maintenance costs, the servo counting machine has indeed reduced a lot of unnecessary losses, greatly reduced costs, and improved economic benefits.

Application of Electronic Counting Machine

The automatic capsule counter machine is mainly suitable for medicine, industry, chemical industry, food and other industries. It can be widely used for counting and bottling medicine granules, such as pills, sugar-coated tablets, plain tablets, soft and hard capsules and other shapes of medicine granules.
