[0002] In the medicine production process, grain counting is a crucial link, which is directly related to the accuracy and safety of the medicine. The mechanical grain counting technology is commonly used, and its working principle is to preform a template with a certain number and size of holes and grooves on various materials (such as stainless steel and plastic), and then fill the medicine particles into the holes and grooves of the template one by one to count the medicine particles. The counted medicine is filled into a bottle through a hopper. The rotating disc type and the track (strip) type are two categories of mechanical grain counting technology.
[0003] The mechanical grain counting equipment on the current market is mainly suitable for large-scale and large-batch drop pill manufacturing and packaging processes, and its design often cannot well adapt to the actual needs of small-batch medicine production.
