Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, product feed rates commonly reach up to 11,000 items per minute, with container rates up to 120 per minute on twin-lane systems.

Product compatibility

Units of this type typically handle a wide range of product sizes, commonly from 3mm to 25mm, including coated/uncoated tablets and soft/hard gelatine capsules.

Container compatibility

Typically accommodates containers from 15mm diameter x 25mm height up to 125mm diameter x 300mm height.

Counting range

Commonly counts from 10 to 10,000 items per container.

Construction material

Units are typically constructed from stainless steel, suitable for pharmaceutical environments.

Control system

Modern units commonly feature HMI touch screen controls, often from brands like Allen Bradley, for intuitive operation.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with a compressed air supply for pneumatic functions.

Footprint

A twin-lane conveyor system of this specification typically requires a footprint of approximately 3.3m in length for the conveyor section alone, plus the counting head.
