Tablet counting

The RTC 200 rotary tablet counter is the latest generation of electronic counting technology. The rotary design offers positive container handling for tablet or capsule filling and counting. This is facilitated by transferring containers from the conveyor onto a central bottle starwheel set below a rotary counting turret. Each bottle is positively located under each counting head, filling and counting tablets and capsules while the bottles are rotating around the turrent. After bottles are accurately filled, they exit back onto the conveyor. Tablet or capsule sorting is achieved via 12 rotating disks mounted within the main turret hopper.

Every tablet or capsule is positively spaced in the sorting disk ensuring positive separation of tablets or capsules before counting.
An optical matrix counter or quad count has been specifically designed for this application and represents a new generation in counting technology.

The quad count detects tablets and capsules around four (4) sides of the counting head increasing the count zone by 100% on conventional counters. The quad count (patent pending) can detect most broken or chipped tablets or capsules. It also incorporates fail-safe monitoring of all count sectors.

The RTC 200 rotary tablet counter is supplied with an integrated touch screen which features programmability, storage of set-ups and the collection of statistics for batch reconciliation.
Simply entering the parameters of the tablet or capsule into the program will automatically optimize all settings for accurate counting.
An integrated comprehensive dust extraction system ensures maximum dedusting before counting. The RTC 200 rotary tablet counter features an integral tablet dosing elevator or can be supplied with a vibratory tablet dosing system.
