Ram - Counting Funnel

• Counting and packaging tablets or capsules in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production.
• Portioning and bagging small confectionery items or food supplements.
• Automated counting of small hardware components or electronic parts for assembly kits.
• Packaging seeds or granular products in agricultural and horticultural industries.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 20 to 60 counts per minute, depending on product size and complexity.

Counting accuracy

Units of this type commonly offer high counting accuracy, often 99.5% or better, for consistent batch sizes.

Product size range

Suitable for counting items typically ranging from 2mm to 20mm in diameter, though this can vary by specific model.

Power supply

Most units commonly operate on standard industrial single-phase power, typically 220-240V, 50Hz.

Material of construction

Contact parts are commonly made from food-grade or pharmaceutical-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316L) for hygiene and durability.

Control system

Units typically feature a PLC-based control system with a HMI for programming and operational monitoring.

• What types of products can a counting funnel handle?

  A counting funnel is typically designed for small, free-flowing items such as tablets, capsules, sweets, seeds, or small hardware components. The specific product characteristics (shape, size, friability) will influence suitability.

• Is this unit suitable for integration with existing packaging lines?

• What maintenance is typically required for a counting funnel?

• Can the counting parameters be easily adjusted?

• Does this equipment require compressed air?

Tablet counting and packaging equipment is valued for improving accuracy and efficiency in pharmaceutical production. Buyers typically prioritise machines with reliable counting mechanisms, straightforward maintenance access, and compliance-ready documentation. Used units from reputable manufacturers with clear service histories are generally preferred. Key strengths include reduced labour costs, consistent output quality, and compatibility with existing production lines. Prospective purchasers should verify calibration records, inspect wear components, and confirm spare parts availability before committing to purchase.
