Instructions Manual Dispenser Rx Tablet and Capsule Counting Machine Edition v2.1

OPERATION: General Machine Setup (continued.)
•
Once tablets exit the feeder ring into the tablet guide they are counted and proceed to one
of the pre-placed bottles. Each time a tablet passes the count sensor a count is registered
and displayed on the HMI display. Upon reaching the target count, the HMI display will
return to zero and the flap mechanism will change position to divert the stream of tablets
into the next empty pre-placed bottle. At this point the operator must remove the filled bottle
and replace with an empty one to complete the changeover cycle.
•
To stop the machines operation, press the ‘STOP’ on the home screen.
•
The alternating sequence will continue indefinitely until the machine is stopped or runs out
of product. Alternatively, if the batch function is used the machine will stop when the pre-set
required number of bottles is complete. The Batch Counter displays the number of filled
bottles and can be reset to zero by pressing the blue ‘RESET’ Button on the home screen
within the batch box area.
OPERATION: Tips and best practice for accurate counting.
•
Most operators prefer to have empty bottles waiting to the left-hand side of the machine,
the right-hand side is often used to place filled bottles.
•
Some operators reject the first bottle in the batch.
•
Run the machine at a realistic speed, it is possible to feed product faster than it can be
counted so work to an optimum feed rate. Adjust the vibrator control to give a suitable feed
rate of tablets onto the feed ring and into the bottles.
•
Ensure a single line of tablets is achieved.
•
A Control Clip can be fitted to the feeder ring outlet to reduce the outlet width in order to
obtain better tablet flow. Controlling the flow at the outlet may allow a high feed rate to be
maintained without tablets over-crowding or doubling up.
•
Ensure that the machine is kept clean.
•
If an undercount of one tablet occurs, check the free running of the flap.
•
Flat tablets and capsules riding or piggybacking over one another may cause miscounting.
