The Vitacount 12-1 is the lower cost solution designed for vitamin applications, yet it combines proven product feed technology with electronic controls and infrared count heads as used on the higher specification machines. The 12-1 features 12 product feed tracks. The Vitacount features an integrated chip and dust extraction system. A touch screen control panel allows easy access to machine and product parameters, giving the operator good visibility of the complete filling process.

The product library can store up to 1000 different set-ups and offers instant recall of both product and machine parameters.   

Vitacount is height adjustable by means of the manually adjusted telescopic funnel arrangement to allow differing heights of bottle to be filled and the system offers maximum versatility as product feed system requires no change parts and is capable of packaging all tablet and capsule forms.

Vitacount 12-1 Features Include:

• Speeds up to 55 bottles per minute depending on product size and count.
• Contact parts are designed to be easily removed without the requirement for any tools
• High speed infrared sensors scanning at 34,000 times per second for high accuracy counting of all tablets and capsules as well as transparent soft and hard gelatine capsules
• Integrated chip and dust extraction system

VitaCount Touchscreen Controls Facilitate Changeover, Allow for Statistical Data Reporting and Provide Four security Levels

The touch-screen control panel allows easy access to machine and product parameters and gives the operator good visibility of the complete filling process. The product library can store up to 1000 different set-ups and offers instant recall of both product and machine parameters.

Conveyor and reject system controls are configurable from within the control system to allow total process control and full statistical data is stored and can be printed if required.

The system has four security levels so that operators, supervisors and engineers can have differing access authorities and the system can be fully validated and full documentation is available. 21 CFR compliant controls with encrypted login with username and password is also available.

Counting Technology Adjusts to Compensate for Dust, Humidity and Temperature When Necessary

High speed infrared sensors scanning at 34,000 times per second are responsible for high accuracy counting of all tablets and capsules as well as transparent soft and hard gelatine capsules. These latest generation sensors have “onboard” microprocessors which automatically trend and adjust the count trigger point during production to compensate for dust, humidity or temperature when necessary. These microprocessors also ensure that the count sensors are always at their optimum performance and as a result don’t require any routine calibration. This factor therefore removes the maintenance costs associated with such an operation. The count heads are virtually immune to dust and will count all products with high accuracy from 2.5mm in size.
