Counting Bottling Line

• Electronic Counting Technology: The line uses electronic counting sensors to accurately count tablets, capsules, softgels, or gummies before filling. Modern systems can achieve counting accuracy levels above 99.8%.
• High-Speed Bottling Capability: Depending on bottle size, product type, and machine configuration, the line can process anywhere from 30 to over 200 bottles per minute. This makes it suitable for both medium and high-volume production.
• Multiple Product Compatibility: The counting system can handle tablets, capsules, softgels, gummies, and other solid-dose products. Adjustable settings allow manufacturers to switch between products with minimal disruption.
• PLC and Touchscreen Control System: Operators can manage counting parameters, bottle sizes, production speed, and machine status through a centralized HMI interface. This allows faster setup and easier production monitoring.
• Automatic Bottle Handling: Bottle unscrambling, positioning, filling, and transfer operations are performed automatically throughout the line. It reduces labor requirements.
• Integrated Packaging Options: This counting bottling line can incorporate capping machines, induction sealers, labeling systems, coding units, and inspection stations.

Applications:

• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Widely used for packaging prescription and over-the-counter tablets and capsules into retail-ready bottles. Accurate counting helps maintain dosage consistency and regulatory compliance.
• Nutraceutical and Supplement Production: Suitable for vitamins, minerals, herbal supplements, softgels, and dietary products. The flexible configuration supports different bottle sizes and packaging requirements.
• Contract Packaging Facilities: Commonly installed in facilities handling multiple product brands and packaging formats. Quick changeovers help short production runs and diverse customer requirements.

Workflow of this Machine

• Step 1: Bottle Feeding: Empty bottles are loaded into the bottle unscrambler, which automatically orients and transfers containers onto the production conveyor.
• Step 2: Product Feeding: Tablets, capsules, or other products are loaded into the counting machine hopper.
• Step 3: Electronic Counting: The counting unit uses optical or electronic sensors to count the required number of products for each bottle.
• Step 4: Bottle Filling: Counted products are discharged into waiting bottles through dedicated filling channels.
• Step 5: Capping and Sealing: Filled bottles move to the capping station where closures are applied and tightened.
• Step 6: Labeling and Coding: Labels, batch numbers, manufacturing dates, and expiry information are applied to bottles through integrated labeling and coding equipment.
• Step 7: Inspection and Rejection: Inspection systems monitor count accuracy, cap placement, label position, and package integrity. Bottles that do not meet requirements can be automatically removed from the line.
• Step 8: Final Output: Finished bottles are discharged onto the collection conveyor and transferred toward cartoning, case packing, palletizing, or shipment preparation areas.
