C-Pills Auto Capsule and film-coated tablet counting machine

The C-Pills Auto is an automatic capsule and film-coated tablet counting machine. Designed and manufactured by CDA, this counter meets the needs of the pharmaceutical, food, and animal health industries. It stands out for its durable design, using high-quality materials such as mirror-polished stainless steel, glass, and food-grade plastic (POM C).

• The process begins with a vibrating hopper into which the operator pours the tablets in bulk. Its large capacity allows it to hold up to 60,000 size 0 capsules. In addition, the hopper is electrically height-adjustable, making the operator’s work easier and simplifying cleaning.

• Once transferred from the hopper onto a glass rotary table, the tablets are moved with precision. Optimal spacing between each tablet is created so they can be counted by a laser curtain. After counting, the tablets drop into the counting chamber.

• The containers are conveyed to the counting chamber via a stainless steel conveyor. Automatic indexing is carried out by two sets of double pneumatic cylinders, ensuring precise and secure spacing of the bottles. Detection sensors ensure perfect synchronization between the arrival of the containers and the capsules.

• The height of the counting table is also electrically adjustable. Adjusting its height allows for quick changeovers between different bottle formats, regardless of size, as well as easy assembly and disassembly for regular and efficient cleaning.

• The entire machine has been designed to offer excellent cleanability: the various components are easily accessible and cleanable, meeting pharmaceutical industry requirements. This high level of cleanability facilitates product changeovers.

• The C-Pills Auto guarantees a counting speed of up to 1,000 capsules per minute (size 0). Its 99.99% accuracy ensures reliable, professional counting. Finally, the machine stands out for its ease of use, thanks to intuitive control via the touchscreen.

For complete packaging of your tablets or capsules, from filling, to capping, and finally labeling, CDA also offers a complete line consisting of the C-Pills Auto – VS2000 – Ninon 2500.
