60 BPM - Tablet Counting and Filling Line - Complete Guide

The pharmaceutical packaging industry is shifting rapidly toward automation to meet stringent quality standards, improve line efficiency, and ensure regulatory compliance. With growing demand for accurate, high-speed packaging solutions, tablet counting and filling lines have become essential for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and healthcare product manufacturers. Automated systems reduce human intervention, improve consistency, and provide complete in-line traceability.

A 60 BPM Tablet Counting and Filling Line is a medium-capacity packaging solution ideal for companies scaling production or running multiple SKUs. This line integrates bottle unscrambling, air-jet cleaning, tablet counting and filling, silica gel inserting, cotton inserting, capping, induction sealing, labeling, optional cartoning, and conveyor automation. Each unit is synchronized for consistent performance and smooth operation.

In addition to the 60 BPM line, N.K. Industries also manufactures tablet counting and filling lines in multiple capacities — 10 BPM, 30 BPM, 90 BPM, and 120 BPM — giving manufacturers a complete choice based on production requirements. All models are engineered to meet cGMP guidelines and are built with robust stainless-steel construction for long service life and minimal downtime.
