Cremer- Counter Tablet/Capsule

The Cremer CF-1220*2 is a high-speed, dual-channel automatic optical tablet and capsule counting machine. It is primarily used in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetics industries to count tablets, caplets, or hard/soft gel capsules and discharge them accurately into bottles or containers.  

Machine Features & Operating Principles:

 Dual-Module Design (⁠*2⁠ / ⁠D⁠ designation): Houses two independent counting modules (12 counting channels per module, total 24 channels) working in parallel to double throughput or handle dual-filling operations.

 Optical Infrared Counting: Uses optical detection sensors to count items accurately regardless of color, shape, transparency, or dust levels.

 Vibratory Feeders: Multi-stage vibratory trays separate and align products into individual tracks before passing through the optical counting eye.

 Flap / Memory Gates: High-speed pneumatic flaps hold and release calculated batch counts into bottle filling funnels down below.

• Overall Length: ~148 to 154 inches (~3,750 to 3,900 mm) including the full length of the dual-lane conveyor frame.
• Overall Width: ~72 to 82 inches (~1,830 to 2,080 mm) from the back of the dual overhead hopper assemblies to the front conveyor boundary.
• Overall Height: ~70 to 76 inches (~1,780 to 1,930 mm) top of the hopper rim to the floor.
• Approximate System Weight: ~2,600 to 3,100 lbs (~1,180 to 1,400 kg).

Dual Counting Heads & Hopper

• Counting Channels: 24 channels total (configured as two side-by-side or tandem 12-channel optical counting modules).
• Bulk Hoppers:
• Capacity: Dual integrated stainless steel hoppers (or a single split-bin manifold), typically 2× 30 Liter capacity (~60L total) with independent fine-dosing vibratory feed gates.
• Hopper Feed Height: ~67 to 74 inches off the floor.
• Hopper Openings: ~30.7" L × 15.5" W per side (~780 mm × 395 mm).
• Vibratory Trays & Detection: Dual 3-tier linear vibratory feed plates leading to dual infrared optical counting blocks with integrated dust extraction manifolds.

Dual-Lane Conveyor Specifications

• Conveyor Layout: Parallel dual-lane tabletop chain conveyor (dual track) with pneumatic gating / indexing pin mechanisms for dual-bottle filling.
• Conveyor Frame Length: Typically 10ft to 12ft (120 to 144 inches) line section to allow adequate room for infeed indexing, dual filling stations, and outfeed/rejection gating.
• Chain/Belt Width: Dual 4.5-inch wide sanitary tabletop chains (side-by-side).
• Line Height: Adjustable from 34.6 to 36.2 inches (880 mm to 920 mm) to align with standard packaging line heights.

Capacity & Container Limits

• Output Speed: Up to 100–120 containers/min (based on 100-count bottles, depending on product geometry).
• Product Counting Rate: Up to 11,000 pieces per minute combined max count rate.
• Container Range:
• Bottle Diameter/Width: Min. 20 mm (~0.8") to Max. 110 mm (~4.33")
• Bottle Height: Min. 40 mm (~1.57") to Max. 200 mm (~7.87")
• Product Size Range: 2 mm to 30 mm in length; 2 mm to 20 mm in diameter/width (tablets, softgels, capsules).
