Capsule counter 30,000 / hour

This electronic capsule counter is designed for automatic counting of capsules and tablets using a hopper-fed system and a selection disc that guides the product toward the discharge cone. Each unit is detected by an infrared sensor, ensuring high accuracy with an average counting error as low as 0.06%, even in repeated cycles of 300 capsules and batches up to 6,000 units. Unlike conventional systems, infrared technology ensures consistent performance regardless of product color or size. Interchangeable discs allow fast format change for capsule sizes 000–5 and enable processing of round and oblong tablets with customized solutions. The full AISI 316 stainless steel construction ensures compliance with EN631 and HACCP standards, making it suitable for pharmaceutical and food applications. The adjustable counting range from 1 to 500 units supports both small batch operations and larger production runs. With low energy consumption (0.10 kW) and standard 230V power supply, the machine is easy to install without requiring infrastructure changes. Compact dimensions (300x360x450 mm) and a weight of only 10 kg allow easy integration into existing lines or use as a standalone unit.

FAQ – How accurate is an electronic capsule counter?
This machine offers an average counting error of just 0.06%, making it suitable for pharmaceutical-grade applications. High accuracy reduces compliance risks, prevents under- or over-filling, and improves overall packaging quality.

FAQ – Does capsule color or transparency affect counting accuracy?
No, the infrared detection system ensures reliable counting regardless of capsule color, opacity, or material. This is a key advantage over traditional optical systems, which may struggle with transparent or dark capsules.

FAQ – Can it count tablets as well as capsules?
Yes, the machine can handle round and oblong tablets using custom discs. This flexibility makes it suitable for mixed production environments in pharma and nutraceutical sectors.

FAQ – What is the real production capacity?
The maximum capacity is 30,000 capsules/hour. Actual output depends on product type, size, and workflow, but the system ensures stable high-speed performance under normal operating conditions.

FAQ – How fast is format changeover?
Format change is quick and involves replacing the selection disc. This minimizes downtime and allows efficient switching between different capsule sizes or product types.

FAQ – Can it be integrated into an existing production line?
Yes, thanks to its compact design and simple operation, it can be easily integrated into existing packaging lines or used as a standalone counting unit.
