Counting machines are used for the packaging of products such as tablets and capsules of every type and size. Unlike blister machines, where the tablets are precisely packaged inside blister... packs, counting machines very often pack products inside glass or plastic bottles. There are different types of counting machines, the most common on the market are multi-channel counting machines. The multi-channel machine work as follows: the tablets are firstly fed manually inside a hopper and then they are released in single row on different vibrating channels (they can vary from 6 to 12 or even more channels). The vibration of the channels causes makes the tablets going forward until they "literally" fall into the bottle. Between the end of the channel and the mouth of the bottle there is a sensor that counts the tablets exactly when they are falling down. Once the desired number of tablets is reached, the filled bottle advances to a second station in order to be capped. The disadvantage of these machines is that they are not always accurate, especially when they counts dusty tablets whose dust tends to dirty and thus obscure the counting sensors. Moreover, if two tablets or capsules accidentally fall together, there is a real possibility that the sensor will only see one. For these reasons, today an alternative, much more efficient counting technology has been introduced, which uses state-of-the-art technology, represented by a vision system. The vision system works by means of cameras placed at a fair distance from the product passage area and therefore not sensitive to dust. This type of technology guarantees a counting accuracy very close to 100%. These machines can also count products that are much smaller than tablets (such as seeds for example), and can therefore also be used in other areas of activity. The speed of the counters depends on the number of bottles being filled at the same time, the number of tablets in each bottle (which can range from a few tablets to 1000) and the size of the product to be counted.
