Abstract
Shipping cartons are automatically filled from a 24 parallel channel feeder and photoelectric detection system. A doubly preset counter summarizes all 24 channels to first reduce speed and then stop the feed at a preset total count. One conveyor system serves four such feeder-counter combinations. The system has a counting capacity of approximately 200,000 capsules per minute.
