Fill bottles with an accurate preset quantity of tablets, hard capsules, or softgels. A Finetech Tablet Counting and Filling Machine counts each product and dispenses the required quantity into the bottle, which reduces manual counting and repetitive packing work. Choose between operator-assisted bottle placement and conveyor-fed configurations based on bottle volume, product type, and the required output of your packaging line.
Before finished tablets can be sealed and labeled, each bottle needs its specified quantity. Operators load the tablets into a hopper. A vibrating feeder spreads them along counting channels so they approach the sensors separately. Each passing tablet interrupts a light beam and registers a count. The machine dispenses the selected quantity through the filling outlet into a positioned bottle, which then moves to the next packaging stage.
Finetech offers 8-, 16-, and 24-channel versions, including an 8-channel option with manual bottle placement and a 16-channel version with automatic conveying. Start selection with the bottles per minute you need at your actual pack count. Then check how readily the product separates and passes through the bottle neck. These factors influence output alongside channel count. Operators still replenish products, check filled bottles, and manage changeovers.
Photoelectric counting applies the selected piece count throughout the run. The packing team can check filled bottles against that target instead of relying on an operator to count every tablet by hand during repetitive filling.
Touchscreen count adjustment on the 8-channel option lets teams change the quantity dispensed for different orders. The same product can be packed at different counts, provided the selected bottle has enough usable space.
Automatic conveying on the 16-channel version reduces the need to place each bottle beneath the filling outlet. This removes a repetitive handling task from the packing cycle and supports connection to downstream bottling equipment.
A counter must deliver filled bottles at a pace the next machine can accept. Finetech can plan the counting station within a complete bottle packaging line, matching it with bottle feeding, capping, sealing, and labeling equipment. Installation and commissioning services cover electrical checks, control-system testing, and operating adjustments. Operator training then carries the agreed settings into daily use, with guidance on startup, routine maintenance, and fault handling.
Our tablet counting and filling machine can be integrated into a packaging line and available fill different solid dosage forms, such as: tablet, capsule and soft capsules.
This machine requires manual placement of the bottle at the filling ports. And then, the tablet counter machine will automatically perform counting and filling.
Switching between different medications and adjusting filling parameters can be easily done through simple settings on the touchscreen, making it quick for new users to learn.
This equipment is primarily used for counting and filling solid dosage forms such as tablets (including shaped tablets), capsules, softgels, and pills, or solid particles like candies, nuts, and preserved fruits.
Filling speed: 10–30 bottles per minute, with a tablet filling range adjustable from 2 to 9999 units.

Comprehensive Documentation: Comes with detailed Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) manuals covering equipment structure, working principles, operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and upgrades, ensuring reliable long-term performance.
High-Speed Operation: Offers a fast filling speed of 50–90 bottles per minute.
Bottle Packing for Medicines, Supplements, and Confectionery
The counting station combines controlled feeding with optical detection and bottle handling. Select the controls and conveying arrangements that suit how your operators pack each batch.
Vibration settings regulate how quickly tablets advance through the feed channels. Adjusting the feed keeps product arriving in separated pieces and lets operators accommodate differences in shape and flow.
Photoelectric sensors register products passing through the counting path. The controller uses those signals to determine the dispensed quantity, so the count does not rely on estimating an average tablet weight.
The 8-channel option provides touchscreen adjustment of filling parameters. Operators enter the required piece count at the panel, then verify the first filled bottles before releasing the run for routine packing.
The 16-channel version transports bottles through the filling station under automatic control. Bottle guides and filling-position setup must match the container so the discharge outlet aligns with its opening.
The 24-channel version uses dust-resistant photoelectric sensing to limit interference from product powder. Cleaning remains necessary because accumulated residue can still affect feeding and the condition of the counting path.
System self-checks, fault alarms, and automatic shutdown are specified for the 16-channel version. These functions alert operators to detected problems so they can investigate the cause before restarting production.

Many industries rely heavily on specialized equipment to maintain the quality of their products. When
The 24-channel version has a manufacturer-rated speed of 50 to 90 bottles per minute. Actual output varies with pieces per bottle, product flow, and bottle movement. Establish a sustained rate that includes routine replenishment and downstream stops.
A narrow opening can restrict discharge even when the counter feeds quickly. Match the outlet to the bottle’s internal neck diameter and the product’s shape. Check for bridging at the opening and allow enough space inside for the full count.
Broken-tablet rejection requires a detection system and a mechanism to remove affected products or bottles. Specify these functions separately when ordering. Test fragments and suspect bottles to verify that the proposed system can identify and remove them.
A changeover can involve clearing the previous product, cleaning contact parts, resetting feed settings, and adjusting bottle guides or outlets. Identify any required change parts before ordering. Include a complete changeover in the demonstration to assess operator work and downtime.
Remove residue from the hopper, feeding channels, filling outlet, and sensor area using the approved machine-specific procedure. Protect electrical components and optics from unsuitable liquids or abrasive tools. Inspect the product path before restart and document cleaning under your site’s procedures.
The site needs the electrical supply and compressed-air connections specified for the selected configuration. Confirm any extraction requirement before installation. Allow access for hopper loading, contact-part removal, maintenance, and safe movement around the conveyor. The machine footprint alone is insufficient.
Actual output depends on more than the machine’s rated maximum speed. The number of pieces per bottle, tablet or capsule dimensions, product flow characteristics, bottle-neck size, feeding speed, and downstream equipment can all affect bottles per minute. Finetech offers 8, 16, and 24-channel configurations, with its published specification table listing speeds of up to 90 bottles per minute for the 24-channel model.
