What is a Single-Disc Counting Machine?
A single-disc counting machine is a semi-automatic tablet and capsule counting machine designed to accurately count and dispense tablets, capsules, pills, and softgels. It operates using a rotating counting disc combined with electromagnetic vibration, allowing products to flow smoothly into preset counting slots.
Compared with manual counting, a single-disc tablet counter reduces labor intensity, improves counting accuracy, and enhances production efficiency while maintaining hygienic handling standards.
The customizable counting disc can be designed with different slot numbers and sizes, making the machine suitable for a wide range of tablet and capsule shapes. Single-disc counting machines are widely used in pharmaceutical factories, nutraceutical production, laboratories, hospitals, and small-scale supplement manufacturing.
Core Working Principle
The SP-100 single-disc tablet and capsule counting machine is a semi-automatic pharmaceutical counting machine designed for small batch tablet and capsule counting and filling in laboratories, hospitals, and supplement production facilities.
It operates using an electromagnetic vibration counting system, allowing tablets, capsules, pills, and solid particles to move smoothly and evenly into the single counting disc slots without clogging or overlapping.
When no bottle is positioned under the discharge outlet, the tablet counting disc remains stationary. Once a bottle is detected, the motor drives the disc to rotate, enabling accurate tablet and capsule dispensing directly into bottles.
Each slot on the disc holds a preset quantity, making this machine ideal for pill counting, capsule bottling, and small-scale pharmaceutical packaging.
The counting disc is interchangeable, and customizable hole numbers are available, allowing easy adaptation to different tablet sizes, capsule sizes (00–5#), softgels, and irregular-shaped tablets, with no complex adjustment required.
Key Features
- Low-Noise Tablet & Capsule Counter
The improved electromagnetic vibration structure significantly reduces operating noise, reaching as low as 20 dB when counting capsules, making it suitable for laboratory tablet counting machines and hospital pharmacy use.
- Adjustable Speed Control System
Equipped with counting disc speed control and vibration speed adjustment, allowing operators to optimize performance for different pharmaceutical solids, pills, granules, and capsules.
- Optimized Hopper Design for Capsule Protection
The redesigned hopper angle eliminates traditional blocking plates, reducing the risk of capsule breakage and improving flow stability. The deepened hopper supports continuous tablet and capsule feeding.
- Efficient Small-Batch Bottling
With a maximum output of up to 36 bottles per minute, the SP-100 is an ideal semi-automatic tablet bottling machine for small to medium production lines.
- GMP-Compliant Stainless Steel Construction
All product-contact parts, including the hopper and base plate, are made of 304 stainless steel, ensuring compliance with GMP pharmaceutical equipment standards and hygienic operation.
- Wide Application Range
Suitable for tablet counting, capsule counting, pill filling, softgel counting, granule dispensing, and other solid dosage pharmaceutical packaging applications.
How to Use the SP-100 Single-Disc Counting Machine?
- Connect the machine to a suitable power supply according to local voltage standards.
- Select the correct counting die based on the size and shape of the tablets, capsules, or pills.
- Fill the hopper with tablets, capsules, pills, or softgels.
- Place the bottle or container at the discharge outlet and start the machine.
- The semi-automatic tablet and capsule counting machine will automatically count and dispense the preset quantity.
- Collect the counted products for bottling or bagging, ideal for small-batch pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production.
- After use, clean all product-contact parts and perform routine maintenance to ensure hygienic operation and long-term performance.
