Eliminate counting errors, prevent dust interference, and achieve 99.98%+ accuracy across transparent gelcaps, opaque hard capsules, and dietary supplements with EAC Machinery Co., Ltd.’s CE-certified multi-channel optical counting lines.
From compact production runs to high-throughput pharmaceutical manufacturing, EAC Machinery Co., Ltd. engineers modular multi-channel electronic counting systems designed for zero-dust accumulation, instant toolless changeover, and strict cGMP compliance.
Selecting the ideal capsule counting machine requires balancing container dimensions, dosage shape variations (hard gelatin, HPMC vegetable caps, softgels, gummies, and compressed tablets), ambient dust volumes, and targeted linear speed. Legacy mechanical slat counters often cause capsule scarring, static cling, and excessive downtime during size changes. EAC Machinery Co., Ltd. solves these operational bottlenecks with high-frequency electromagnetic vibratory tracks coupled with dynamic optical sensor matrices.
Designed for pilot plants, nutraceutical startups, and clinical trial packaging. Features dual-stage vibration tracks, automatic dust compensation, and a compact footprint capable of counting up to 40 bottles per minute.
Our flagship medium-to-high capacity solution. Integrates 3-stage vibratory feeding, high-speed pneumatic gating flap mechanisms, and complete 21 CFR Part 11 PLC controls for outputs up to 80 bottles per minute.
Dual-head synchronized electronic counting system for continuous pharmaceutical production lines. Reaches throughput rates up to 120+ bottles per minute with automatic bottle rejection for miscounts.

How EAC Machinery Co., Ltd. addresses the top structural issues in solid dosage container packaging: static friction, dust blinding, transparent gelcap refraction, and high changeover latency.
One of the most persistent complaints raised by pharmaceutical process engineers when operating standard capsule counting machinery is sensor blinding caused by herbal or synthetic powder shed. When capsules slide rapidly along vibratory chutes, friable coating particles rub off and settle directly across optical sensors. Standard photoelectric sensors register this film as an obstructed beam, resulting in constant false counts, unexpected line halts, or severe overfilling.
The EAC Information Gain Solution: EAC Machinery Co., Ltd. incorporates an active infrared scan array with dynamic voltage auto-adjustment. As dust accumulates on the sensor window, the central PLC automatically increases signal gain to maintain clear light-to-dark contrast ratios. Simultaneously, our engineered dust extraction channels divert fine particles via sub-atmospheric pressure vacuum ports located between the primary and secondary vibratory steps—removing up to 98.4% of airborne dust before capsules pass the scanning eyes.
Transparent liquid-filled softgels present unique optical challenges. Low-grade counting sensors misinterpret internal light reflections or liquid meniscus lensing as double-capsules or missing items.
Our specialized capsule counting machine designs employ multi-angle cross-scanning optical sensors combined with polarized filtering lenses. By detecting mass density interruption rather than simple surface opacity, EAC machines ensure flawless counting regardless of whether the gelcap is pitch black, crystal clear, or multi-colored.
At speeds exceeding 60 bottles per minute, the mechanical response time of memory hopper gating valves dictates total line precision. If a pneumatic cylinder lags by just 5 milliseconds, a trailing capsule dropping down the chute may fall into the wrong container, causing batch contamination or unacceptable yield variance.
EAC Machinery Co., Ltd. utilizes ultra-fast Response-Air solenoid valves paired with lightweight titanium-alloy gating flaps. Operating under real-time sensor feedback, these flaps open and close within 2 milliseconds, maintaining zero-tolerance drop isolation even when processing irregular oblong softgels at maximum vibratory frequencies.
