New Cremer tablet counter boasts higher speeds

Cremer has introduced a new linear tablet counting machine that aims to maximise production speeds and save space.

The new Cremer CF-425 Tablet Counter from packaging equipment manufacturer NJM/CLI has a versatile modular design with up to 10 counting heads and is able to handle a wide range of tablets, caplets, hard caps and softgels, and a wide variety of bottle shapes and sizes with fast and easy changeovers.

Compared to existing Cremer linear tablet counters that feature four counting heads, the CF-425 achieves this high throughput in 40 percent less floorspace. The CF-425's advancements include full control on all motions, easier operation with fewer parameters, electrically controlled enclosure over the counting modules and improved system efficiency.

Typical output ranges from 90 to 300 bottles per minute, based on 100-count bottles. Actual output depends on the combination of product shape, size and count.

The CF-425 tablet counter handles tablets, caplets, hard caps and softgels ranging in size from 2 to 30mm in length and from 2 to 20mm in width. It accommodates an assortment of containers, including round, oval, square and rectangular bottles up to 200mm high and 110mm wide.

The Cremer CF-425 is made of stainless steel, hard anodised aluminum and various synthetic materials. This new tablet counter uses CFR21 part 11-compliant software.
