Deitz’s Pharmafill TC4 tabletop tablet counter includes an automatic feeder control system to ensure a consistent volume of tablets is fed onto a rotating disc for feeding to the counting sensor. The automatic feeding system features a proximity sensor assembly that automatically stops the flow of tablets from the hopper if the flow rate exceeds the pace of the operator filling the bottles. When ready for additional tablets, the system automatically restarts the vibratory feeder and restores product flow at the preset rate.

The TC4 is suitable for counting and filling capsules, gelcaps, pills, softgels, and other opaque, translucent, and transparent oral solid dosage forms. The compact electronic tablet counter achieves filling rates of up to 2000 tablets per minute, filling bottles up to 10 inches in height. The semi-automated pill counting machine comes with a two-year warranty and arrives ready to plug in to common 110 VAC electrical services.
