Tablet Counters and Tablet Counting Equipment
While most products that are packaged can be weighed or filled volumetrically, the Pharmaceutical industry does everything related to tablets, capsules or soft-gels by count. Not only are these products counted, but the counts must be accurate. To that end Busch Machinery offers two types of pharmacy automation systems: rotary tablet counters for tabletop, slower speed automatic counting and multi-channel capsule counters for higher speeds of automation while maintaining accuracy.
