Counter-filler
EC-12 electronic counter-filler uses 12 photo sensors that
scan as many as 9,000 products per minute. Sensor tolerance
adjusts to detect and reject or to ignore out-of-spec products.
Primary feeder automatically adjusts vibration to maintain
consistent product flow. Tablet sensor assembly, shutter
assembly, and quick-release front and rear feed trays remove
without tools. Filler automatically learns tablet size and stores
as many as 250 recipes that you access via color touch-screen.
Unit fills bottles 1.5 to 10 inches tall. Other features include
no-bottle/no-fill sensing, reject verification, and removable
dust extraction system.
