Tablet Counting & Packaging

Modern sensor based counters achieve count accuracy at or near one hundred percent when set up correctly, with miscounts rejected rather than released. Accuracy problems usually trace to dust interfering with sensors or products overlapping in the channels. Dust extraction and correct channel setup for the product shape keep counts reliable.

Vibratory channel counters generally handle all three with adjustment, though very light capsules and sticky softgels each bring quirks. Slat counters need format specific slats per product shape. Send product samples to the seller for a test run, because behaviour in the channels is hard to predict from dimensions alone.

Test the count sensors with product, since sensor arrays are the heart of the machine and expensive to replace. Check vibratory channel drives for consistent feed, inspect hoppers and contact parts for wear, and confirm changeover parts are complete. A short counting trial against a hand tally verifies the machine end to end.

Estimate bottles per minute from your annual volume and realistic shift hours, then add margin for changeover and cleaning downtime. A twelve channel counter comfortably feeds a small bottling line, while slat machines serve high volume single product runs. The seller can state achieved rates on comparable products, which beat brochure figures.

Where listings qualify, marketplace financing can cover both single counters and complete integrated lines. Financing a full line as one agreement simplifies a bottling startup or expansion considerably. Eligibility appears on each listing, and the seller discussion and finance application run in parallel.
