Zhongsha BPS-D16 Visual Counting Machine
High-Stability GMP Production Counter
BPS-D16 is built for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical plants where counting stability matters in daily production, not just in lab conditions. It adopts 16-channel split feeding design specially customized for complex workshops. It is designed to run in real factory environments—dust, mixed shapes, unstable feeding, and continuous operation—while keeping counting consistent and production flow steady.

Core Advantages & Design Logic
Overall Structural & Material Advantages
This machine adopts a compact structure with streamlined and elegant appearance. Most structural components are made of aluminum alloy, while the outer shell is crafted from premium 304 stainless steel plate, fully compliant with GMP production standards. The lightweight body facilitates convenient movement, disassembly and on-site handling.
Main drive components are enclosed inside the cabinet to avoid cross-contamination from transmission abrasion. All surfaces contacting raw materials undergo high-precision polishing, and an integrated dust collection box is equipped to reduce dust emission and maintain clean production environment.
Feeding & Counting Core Performance
Channel-style vibration feeding delivers even material conveying, ensuring low-noise, stable and reliable continuous operation. The vision inspection counting mode realizes fully automatic counting, with bottling error margin lower than national industry standards for ultra-high counting precision.
It is equipped with three-stage adjustable vibration feeding modules with imported spring vibration components, maintaining smooth, consistent material supply without blockage or material stacking.
Material recognition relies on linear array CCD camera paired with high-speed ARM processor, delivering high-resolution identification with strong anti-dust interference capability. Built-in self-diagnosis system automatically detects foreign impurities and rejects defective products, fundamentally guaranteeing counting accuracy.

Operational & Safety Optimization
Humanized ergonomic design supports easy operation, quick disassembly, thorough cleaning and fast component replacement. Feeding nozzles fit tightly with bottle mouths: preventing large-particle jamming and small-particle leakage, with auxiliary nozzle vibration to eliminate bottle mouth clogging for stable feeding.
Multiple safety protection devices are integrated: automatic halt for missing bottles/jammed bottles, automatic restart after fault clearance, and independent rejection unit for unqualified products.
The CCD counting system supports automatic fill light adjustment and outstanding dust resistance, sustaining high-precision counting even when processing dusty plain tablets, realizing long-term stable round-the-clock operation.
All control components adopt internationally standardized certified parts, passing strict on-site reliability testing to stabilize full machine operational performance.

It handles a wide range of products such as tablets, capsules, softgels, irregular shapes, and small pellets.
Countable specifications: tablet diameter 3–23mm, capsule size 0–5#, pill diameter 3–12mm, adapting to mainstream solid dosage forms in global pharmaceutical factories.

Global Use & Customer Reference
BPS-D16 has been supplied to customers in North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia, where production requirements are strict and operating conditions vary significantly.
Used by manufacturers including:
- Procaps (Colombia)
- Sirio Pharma (Italy)
- Catalent (Global CDMO)
- HealthLab / Hardcap (North America)
In these environments, the focus is less on theoretical specifications and more on stable output, consistent counting, and reduced downtime during production.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can it handle softgels or irregular shapes?
Yes. The system is designed to work with capsules, softgels, tablets, and irregular solid forms, covering all mainstream solid oral dosage forms.
Q2: Does it require recalibration when switching products?
No. Recipes can be stored and recalled directly from the HMI. Minor adjustments can be made on-site if needed, supporting fast product changeover.
Q3: How does it perform in dusty environments?
The vision system compensates for lighting changes and features dedicated dust-resistant structure, stable counting for dusty raw tablets under regular production dust conditions. The built-in dust box further optimizes internal dust accumulation.
Q4: How long does changeover take?
Usually between 5 and 15 minutes depending on product and bottle size, benefited from modular quick-disassembly structural design.
Q5: Is installation required on-site?
Installation support can be provided if required. A full operation manual is also supplied with the machine, and standardized international component configuration simplifies after-sales maintenance.
Q6: Warranty period?
12 months from commissioning.
