Multi channel tablet and capsule counting
taking electronic tablet counting to the next level...
The name of Swiftpack Automation has been
synonymous with reliable electronic tablet counting
and filling in the Pharmaceutical and healthcare
industry since the mid eighties.
Advances in vibratory linear feeding and pre-count
gating, enable the new machines to almost double
the output of current models for a given footprint.
In addition the machines use rotary pre-count gates
that are driven by stepper motors resulting in quieter
operation and removing the use of pneumatics.
SwiftPharm100 and 200 series counters
features of the new machines include:
•
High output.
•
Motorised power lift to adjust filling height.
•
21CFR part 11 compliance.
•
The Swiftcount 200 is designed to fill containers
at 200 bottles per minute at 100 count. The single
machine provides 100BPM @ 100 count.
•
Proven Swiftpack optical counting technology.
•
Fault diagnosis.
•
Positive accept control system.
•
Hopper level control.
•
Minimal product contact change parts required
(filling nozzles only).
•
Tool-less release of product contact parts
for quick and easy cleaning.
•
Container change parts
(scroll and discharge funnels only).
•
Dust extraction ports.
•
•
Built to meet the highest standards
of pharmaceutical GMP for easy cleaning.
Stepper motor controlled rotary pre-count
gates with quick release.
•
Compact footprint.
•
Unique electronic vibrator feedback control.
•
High accuracy. The result of improved
tablet control.
•
Touch screen control with 1000 product
memory storage designed to be non-complex
for operator use.

the new SwiftPharm electronic tablet counters
Two new machines – the SwiftPharm100 (single) and the SwiftPharm200 (twin)
have been developed to meet the ever increasing demand for higher speed.
Speed: The machine options provide up to 100
bottles/ minute at 100 count with a twin version
reaching 200 bottles/minute at 100 count.
Accuracy: Proven optical counting electronics
provide the accuracy the industry demands.
Flexibility: Ability to run most pharmaceutical
and healthcare products with no product format
parts to change.
Ease of use: Simple set up and with product
memory to minimise product change over.
cGMP design: Reduces cleaning time and
maintains build standards demanded by the
pharmaceutical industry. Advanced design
provides easily removable contact parts
without tools.

21 CFR part 11 compliance:
The machines have been
designed to be compliant
with use of an industrial PC.
SwiftPharm200 (twin)
High speed electronic counting and filling machine
The machine comprises two counting heads mounted on a single base
with power lift.
Both counting heads are controlled by a single touch screen panel.
SwiftPharm100 (single)
Containers are presented to the counting heads by a twin conveyor.
Pharmaceutical grade electronic tablet counter
Powered converge and diverge control provides synchronised bottle
transfer between upstream and downstream conveyors.
The single machine consists of one counting head mounted
on a single base.
The counter is designed to electronically count products into
pre-determined quantities.
Product is fed from a bulk product hopper and separated using an
advanced vibratory feed system. The feed system is divided into
4 slices, each with 3 lanes.
200
Product will then fall through an array of infrared sensors and
be deposited into awaiting containers via a discharge chute
and filling nozzle.
Containers are indexed via a servo-controlled scroll system indexing
4 containers per cycle.
The SwiftPharm100 is designed to fill containers at 100 bottles
per minute on a 100 count. (subject to product shape, size and bottle
neck diameter).

fast accurate compact flexible... unique
SwiftPharm100 and 200 series counters
Stainless steel bulk product
hopper is mounted on a
hinge to swing away from
machine for easy removal.
The 2-piece construction
ensures that components
are light weight.
The vibrator trays are 316L
stainless steel. All the trays
can be quickly removed
without tools. The rear and
middle trays are retained
using pneumatic tray
clamps. The front trays
use a unique mechanical
system for optimum
vibration characteristic
and easy removal.
Once the machine front
cover has been removed
(via 3 captive hand-knobs).
The pre-count gates, catch
box gates and plastic chute
pieces simply slide off their
mounting pegs.
Proven container scroll
system indexes four
containers beneath the
filling heads per cycle.
A sensor verifies that
a container has been
positioned beneath each
filling head before product
is discharged.

The touch screen control
panel uses a Linux based
system. A single touch
screen can control either
a SwiftPharm100 single
machine or SwiftPharm200
twin machine.
The gates are interchangeable
and with minimal other parts
reassembly is quick and
simple to achieve. Product
contact parts in the front
assembly are lightweight
and quickly removed
without the use of tools
Advances in vibratory linear feeding and pre-count
gating, enable the new machines to almost double
the output of current models for a given footprint.

Run Screen
Statistics Screen
Product Screens
The four machine heads are controlled from
a single Run screen. This screen displays the
running status of each head. The Run screen
contains the machine Start, Stop and Empty
buttons as well as controlling the Powerlift
Raise and lower and pneumatic tray clamps.
All of the Batch data is displayed on the
Statistics screen.
The control system has memory for 1000 different
product codes. There are 3 separate screens
to set-up the Counting, Sensor and Precount/
Catchbox gate parameters.
Machine Screens
Status Screen
Security Screens
The Machine-related parameters are all
adjusted and stored in the Machine screens.
The Status screens display invaluable
information relating to the performance
of every aspect of the machine. A quick
and simple trouble-shooting tool.
The control system is fully compliant to
21CFR part 11. Multi-level access is password
protected and all operations can automatically
be saved to an audit log.
