Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Pharmaceutical Tablet Counting and Bottling Machine

Definition
An industrial-scale automated device designed for the final packaging stage of solid oral dosage forms. It precisely counts pharmaceutical tablets using optical or mechanical sensors and transfers them into consumer-ready bottles or containers. The machine integrates with capping, labeling, and inspection systems to create complete packaging lines for retail pharmaceutical products. It ensures accurate dosage counts, minimizes human handling contamination, and meets GMP requirements for finished pharmaceutical preparations.
Working Principle
Tablets are fed from a bulk hopper onto a vibrating tray that singulates them. Optical sensors count individual tablets as they pass through a detection zone, then a mechanical diverter channels the counted batch into waiting bottles. The system uses programmable logic controllers to manage counting accuracy, bottle indexing, and rejection of incorrect counts.
Common Materials
Stainless Steel 316L, Food-Grade Polycarbonate, Pharmaceutical-Grade Silicone
Technical Parameters
  • Maximum production speed in standard operation (bottles/minute) Standard Spec
  • Percentage accuracy of tablet count per bottle (%) Standard Spec

Reliability & Engineering Risk Analysis

Failure Mode & Root Cause
Tablet counting sensor misalignment
Cause: Vibration-induced drift from improper mounting or mechanical shock during operation, leading to inaccurate counts and potential regulatory non-compliance.
Bottle conveyor belt wear and slippage
Cause: Frictional degradation due to accumulated pharmaceutical dust and inadequate tensioning, causing jams, mis-timing, and production stoppages.
Maintenance Indicators
  • Audible grinding or squealing from the counting mechanism, indicating sensor obstruction or misalignment.
  • Visual accumulation of tablet dust or debris around the bottling head or conveyor, signaling potential contamination risk and mechanical wear.
Engineering Tips
  • Implement a daily cleaning and inspection protocol for counting sensors and conveyor surfaces to prevent dust buildup and ensure alignment, using compressed air and lint-free wipes approved for pharmaceutical environments.
  • Establish a preventive maintenance schedule for belt tension checks and lubrication of moving parts with FDA-approved lubricants, coupled with vibration monitoring to detect early misalignment in critical components.

Compliance & Manufacturing Standards

Reference Standards
ISO 14644-1:2015 Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments ANSI/ASME B46.1-2019 Surface Texture (Surface Roughness, Waviness, and Lay) DIN EN 415-10:2014 Safety of packaging machines - Part 10: General Requirements
Manufacturing Precision
  • Tablet count accuracy: +/- 0.5% per 100 tablets
  • Bottle positioning alignment: +/- 0.1mm
Quality Inspection
  • Particle emission test (cleanroom compatibility)
  • Functional safety test (emergency stop, guarding interlock verification)
