6.1 - Standard Features And Capabilities (Cont’d)
When filling a bottle, pills flow through one side chamber and exit through the bottom. The
exit of the opposite side chamber is blocked by the trap flag, creating a “closed trap”. When
the target count is reached, the divider flag splits the flow of pills and diverts it into the
closed trap. Counting continues as the filled bottle is removed. When a new bottle is in place,
the trap flag switches sides, allowing the pills in the trap to exit and counting continues..
In this manner, pills are continuously counted even as the bottles are moving in and out of
the filling station. If a fault occurs with bottles on the conveyor, counting will stop
automatically until the fault is cleared.
