SOLID DOSE-COUNTING TECHNOLOGY
Single-dose filling machines rely on automatic counting for speed and accuracy. It’s a better method than weight or volume counting, which can be subject to error. There are two main counting technologies available: slat counters and electronic counters.
Slat counters use horizontal slats with holes equivalent to the number of tablets or containers being filled. The slats move around a track beneath the product hopper, causing the tablets to fall through the holes, which are designed to fit a single tablet. Once each hole is filled, the slat is turned upside down and tablets pass through a tunnel into the container. Slat counters are simple and reliable but have some downsides. Production must be halted to change over the parts; with so many holes, cleaning can be time-consuming and difficult; and they are prone to mechanical wear and tear.
Electronic tablet counting and filling machines have gained popularity for their speed, flexibility, and a higher degree of accuracy. They are easier to clean, the mechanical parts don’t wear down as frequently, and no tools are required for the changeover, resulting in less downtime.
