A survey of what's available
counters & bottle fillers
Electronic counter
Pharmafill TC3 electronic counter automatically counts square, triangular, pen-
tagonal, and other oddly shaped tablets and capsules. Unit's Airguide system
automatically sets the solid dosage forms into a single layer and directs the flow
of each individual product from the hopper to the counting mechanism. System
also prevents tablets and capsules from interlocking and directs each product
unit to the center of the counting sensor, ensuring high accuracy while minimiz-
ing jams and miscounts. Counter reaches counting speeds of up to 2,500 tablets
per minute or 60 bottles per minute depending on the product size and shape.
Unit's height adjusts to accept bottles up to 10 inches tall. System comes with a
variable speed, vibratory feeder, a touch-screen HMI for quick flow rate adjust-
ments, and a two-year warranty.
