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:
1. Elastic damping at entry
2. Air-assisted middle section
3. Speed-controlled terminal
• Test data: Damage rate <0.03% (industry average 0.15%)

2. Intelligent Control: How to Outperform Manual Accuracy?

2.1 How Does the Vision System Identify Various Tablets?

• Dual-spectrum imaging:
