Why Choose a Grand Machinery Automatic Counting Machine

You are not buying machines — you are buying one accountable partner for a complete packaging operation. Here is what that means in practice.

Counting Accuracy

Dynamic anti-dust infrared sensors count every piece — no underfills, no regulatory risk, no product giveaway.

Up to 100 Bottles/Min

Multi-channel architecture scales throughput without adding operators.

GMP-Ready Build

SS316L product-contact parts, CE certified, full validation documentation on request.

Full-Line Compatibility

Plug-and-play I/O with unscramblers, cappers, and labelers for a complete bottle counting line.

How Our Automatic Counting Machine Works

From bulk feeding to sealed bottles, each Grand Machinery counting machine follows a fully automated, closed-loop workflow. Infrared sensors count every single piece in real time, while the PLC system self-corrects feed rates to guarantee the exact count in every bottle — no manual recounting, no giveaway, no shortcuts.

Step 1: Bulk Product Feeding

Tablets, capsules, or gummies are loaded into the stainless-steel hopper. Multi-level vibration plates gently separate and align products into single file, preventing clumping and bridging even with coated or sticky products.

Step 2: Multi-Channel Distribution

Products flow into independent counting channels. Each channel handles one product stream simultaneously, so throughput scales linearly — more channels, more bottles per minute — without sacrificing accuracy.

Step 3: Precision Sensor Counting

High-sensitivity infrared sensors (12,000+ counts per second per channel) detect and count each piece with dynamic anti-dust technology, distinguishing true product signals from dust particles to eliminate false counts.

Step 4: Bottle Docking & Filling

Empty bottles are automatically fed, detected, and docked under the filling heads. The PLC releases product only when a bottle is confirmed in position — no bottle, no drop, no waste.

Step 5: Verification & Line Handoff

Filled bottles pass an inline check (optional rejection unit flags any abnormal count) and discharge seamlessly to capping, induction sealing, and labeling — completing your automated bottle counting line.

Automatic Counting Machine — Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions our customers ask most before specifying an automatic counting machine for their production line. Need details for your product and output? Our engineers reply within 24 hours.

Q1: What products can a Grand Machinery automatic counting machine handle?

Our machines count tablets, capsules (size 00–5), softgels, gummies, pills, dragees, and similar free-flowing solid products from 3 mm to 25 mm. One machine can be tooled for different product sizes with quick-change channel plates — no major retooling required.

Counting accuracy is ±0.5% or better under standard operating conditions. The infrared sensor system counts every piece individually, and optional check-weigher integration provides a second verification layer before capping.

Depending on the model and product size, output ranges from 600 pcs/min on the compact GM2B up to 480,000 pcs/h on the GM16D. The GM16AE matrix fiber-optic counter fills 80–100 bottles per minute, making it suitable for large-scale pharmaceutical and supplement production.

Yes. All models support seamless upstream/downstream integration with bottle unscramblers, desiccant inserters, cappers, induction sealers, and labeling machines. Standard signal protocols (Siemens PLC / I/O) make retrofitting into existing lines straightforward.

Typically 15–30 minutes. Channel plates and vibratory settings are tool-free adjustable, and validated recipes can be stored in the HMI — recall a product profile with one touch.

Yes. All product-contact parts are SS316L stainless steel, the machine body is SS304, and the design supports full clean-down. CE certification is standard; cGMP documentation packages are available for pharmaceutical customers.
