Airguide System on Pharmafill tablet capsule counters

Video reveals how the Pharmafill brand tablet counters from Deitz Company, Wall, NJ, achieve 99.99 percent accuracy or better at its fastest speed by automatically flattening the tablets onto a single layer for perfect presentation to the counting sensor. The proprietary engineering advance is called the Airguide System and it virtually eliminates the potential for stoppages and blockages due errors counting tablets, capsules, softgels, caplets, lozenges, candies and other oral solid dosage forms.

The video shows dozens of pills moving from the hopper of the company's fully automatic Pharmafill TC3 tablet capsule counter onto its rotating, glass disc for metering into the counter filler. There, the clever Airguide System directs air to the edge of the disc in precisely the right place based on the height, size and shape of the pills to be counted. It lays them flat, points them in the proper direction, if necessary, and guides the flow of the pills directly into the center of the counting sensor. It even keeps the tablets at a preset distance from each other that can be adjusted based on the type of pills.

The Airguide System uses the company's own self-contained, low-pressure, high-volume,
regenerative AS1 air supply blower to generate the airflow, just out of view in this video. This explains why no mechanical diverters are seen in the video – they simply aren't needed. Also just out of view, the system includes a built-in, double air filter that ensures the air is free from oil and water vapor as an
additional. sanitary safeguard.

The Airguide System is designed for use with the TC3 electronic tablet counting machine shown and with the TC4 tabletop pill counter. All of the Deitz packaging equipment show is designed and manufactured at the company's New Jersey headquarters and delivered assembled and tested with a warranty.
