TCF Series Tablet Counting Machine
TCF series tablet counting machine adopts advanced vibration and multi-channel feeder, computer control, dynamic scan counting, transfer the bottle automatically, system test automatically. With Error alarm, Stop automatically and other advanced technology. This machine designed with GMP standard. Compose the light, electric machinery to one set, which is suitable for tablet or capsule counting and filling in pharmaceutical or food business. The machine could be widely used for all kinds of different tablets, capsule, pill in different shapes and sizes. The speed and accuracy of counting and filling reach the advanced level.
Main Components of TCF Series Tablet Counting Machine
TCF Series Tablet Counting Machines consist of a vibration feeder, counting system, bottle feeding system, electrical cabinet, and control system.
Vibration Feeder:
This part includes the tablet hopper, vibrator, tablet transport track, and dust cover.
- Tablet Hopper: Used to load tablets to be counted. An adjustable baffle at the hopper outlet controls the tablet output. The hopper is removable for easy cleaning.
- Vibrator and Tablet Transport Track: The machine uses two or three levels of vibration. The tablet transport track has 8, 12, or 16 channels. The vibration of the vibrator can be adjusted by setting parameters on the control panel, allowing for easy control of the tablet flow.
- Dust Collection: A small 2mm gap in front of the tablet transport track allows dust and powder to fall into the dust collector during operation, which users can clean periodically.
- Dust Cover: Made of plexiglass, it prevents dust and allows for easy observation of tablet feeding.
Cabinet and Control System:
- Most electrical components are housed in the cabinet and control box, controlling the machine’s operation through the PLC system. The power plug is located at the bottom right of the cabinet.
- The machine feet are equipped with four adjustable screws to set the machine’s height to the proper level for connecting to other machines.
Counting System:
- Guide Plate: The guide plate is customized according to the range of tablet sizes provided by the user.
- Counting Head: Composed of high-sensitivity sensors, the counting head counts the tablets as they pass through and sends signals to the control system to display the count status on the control panel.
- Dropper: The dropper dispenses the counted tablets into bottles. It is adjusted to match the bottle mouth diameter, with a fixed screw for positioning directly above the bottle opening.
Bottle Feeding System:
Located beneath the tablet dropper, it consists of the transmission part, conveyor, and bottle support rod.
- Transmission Part: Includes a drive shaft that transmits the motor’s power.
- Conveyor: Made of chain plates connected to tension wheels at both ends, the conveyor moves bottles at the appropriate speed and in the correct direction.
- Bottle Support Rod and Electromagnet: The spacing between the conveyor rails can be adjusted according to the bottle diameter. A bottle detection sensor above the bottle support electromagnet alerts the system when no bottle is in position, stopping the vibrator automatically.
Maintenance of TCF Series Tablet Counting Machine
1. If he counting sensor is polluted by the dusty. Please use the absorbent cotton or silky fabric to clean the dust on the glasses in the counting sensor.
2. Usually clean the dust collector below the vibrator.
3. Usually keep the cleanness. When clean the dust, take of the cover gently.
4. Forbidden to put stuff except tablets to be counted on the feeding track or conveyor to avoid scratch.
5. After stopping the machine, please clean the dust in hopper, dropper and tablet feeding track, then close the dustproof cover.
6. The electric board has been adjusted. Please DO NOT adjust it ad arbitrium.
7. Please change the fuse by correct specification.

DC Series Desk Type Tablet Counting Machine
DC Series Desk Type Tablet Counting Machine is mainly used in pharmaceuticals, health products, food, and chemicals industries. It is for counting and packaging tablets, capsules, softgel capsules, and other granular products. It is suitable for small to medium-scale production, especially in laboratories.
Working Principle
DC Series Desk Type Tablet Counting Machine uses a vibration and arrangement mechanism to line up tablets or capsules along the guide rail, leading them into the counting channel. When the materials pass through the sensor, the photoelectric sensor detects them and counts based on the preset quantity. Once the target count is reached, the machine automatically stops, completing the counting process.
Features of DC Series Desk Type Tablet Counting Machine
Vibration feeding design, the vibration frequency of the particle hopper can be adjusted with stepless based on the needs of the medical pellet output.
The number of pellet counted can be arbitrarily set up among 0~9999.
Stainless steel material for whole machine body can meet with GMP specification.
Easy to operate and no special training required.
Precision pellet count with special electrical eye protection device.
Rotary counting design with fast and smooth operation.
The rotary pellet counting speed can be adjusted with stepless according to the bottle putting speed manually.
The interior of the machine is equipped with dust cleaner to avoid the dust effect on the machine.
Tablet Counting Line
Tablet counting machines are categorized into semi-automatic and fully automatic models based on their automation level:
- Semi-automatic counting machines: Require manual assistance for tasks like bottle filling and bagging.
- Fully automatic counting machines: Entire counting, bottling, and sealing processes are fully automated without requiring manual intervention.
Components and Characteristics of Fully Automatic Tablet Counting Line:
- Fully automatic tablet counting line is an automated production equipment has function of counting, bottling, sealing, labeling, and other packaging operations of solid medicines. It is widely applied in pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, and chemical industries.
- Bottle Sorting Machine: Automatically arranges and transports empty bottles the transferring belt.
- Tablet Counting Machine: Uses photoelectric sensors to accurately count and fill the tablets into bottles.
- Cotton Inserting Machine/Drying Agent Inserting Machine: Automatically inserts cotton or drying agents into bottles to prevent tablets from moisture or damage.
- Capping Machine: Automatically screws caps onto bottles tightly, preventing leakage or contamination.
- Sealing Machine: Seals bottle openings through heat sealing or other methods to maintain packaging integrity.
- Labeling Machine: Automatically labeling the label on the bottles. Ensuring clear and accurate product information.
Advantages of the Tablet Counting Line:
- Automated operations significantly enhance packaging efficiency, suitable for large-scale production.
- Advanced counting and inspection technologies ensure accurate dosages and packaging quality for each drug bottle.
- From bottle sorting to cartoning, each process is fully automated, minimizing manual intervention and improving production efficiency.
- Capable of handling various shapes and sizes of tablets and bottles, meeting diverse production needs.
