Introduction: Industry Challenges in Multi-Product Packaging Do pharmaceutical manufacturers often face these pain points when handling combination drug packaging: How to ensure accurate proportioning of 9 different tablets? How to avoid cross-contamination from manual sorting? Can we maintain 99.99% counting accuracy while improving efficiency? Boan Machinery's innovative solution - the Rail-Guided 9-Channel Tablet Counting and Packaging Machine - is specifically designed to solve these industry challenges.   1. Technical Breakdown: Precision Distribution Without Robotic Arms 1.1 How Does the Multi-Channel Synchronization System Work? Independent feeding rails: 9 dedicated channels with physical isolation Smart vibration feeding: Auto-adjusted amplitude (0.1-0.5mm adjustable) matches tablet characteristics Gravity-optimized design: 30° golden angle ensures smooth transportation 1.2 How to Ensure Tablet Integrity? Three-stage buffer system: Elastic damping at entry Air-assisted middle section Speed-controlled terminal Test data: Damage rate <0.03% (industry average 0.15%) 2.
