YOKO-10S
Capsule Counting and Bottling Machine
YOKO-10S is an automatic electronic counter for filling tablets, hard capsules, softgels, and selected solid units into bottles. The reference range is 1,200–3,000 bottles per hour at 30–100 units per bottle, with an adjustable count from 1 to 9,999 and bottle references of 30–100 mm diameter by 40–180 mm height. Stable output depends on product separation, count, bottle opening, dust, static, and connected-line behaviour.

Equipment purpose
What this machine is designed to do
The machine provides a compact counting and bottling stage for small- to medium-output lines. It is intended to accept bulk solid-dose product, separate individual units through controlled vibration, detect each unit electronically, and release a programmed count into each presented container.
Operating sequence
Working principle
Product is distributed from the hopper across vibrating feed channels until individual units pass the electronic detection zone. The controller totals the detections for each bottle and coordinates the discharge gate with bottle presence and conveyor movement. Feed rate, product spacing, sensor response, dust, static, count setpoint, funnel geometry, and bottle indexing determine the practical speed and count reliability.
Review points
- The count setpoint supports 1–9,999 units, while the published speed reference is tied to a narrower 30–100-unit example.
- Bottle dimensions, neck opening, product size, and count must be evaluated as one discharge problem.
- Electronic sensors require controlled spacing and cleanliness; dust and overlapping product can affect detection.
- Stored recipes can reduce setup time when product and bottle formats have been qualified.
- No-bottle/no-count logic and self-diagnostic alarms should be challenged during acceptance testing.
- The compact counter can be combined with bottle unscrambling, insertion, capping, induction sealing, labelling, and collection equipment.

Selection questions
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between YOKO-10S and a vision counter?
YOKO-10S uses electronic detection after vibratory separation, while a vision system analyses captured images. Electronic counting can be a practical choice for qualified products and moderate line rates; vision may provide additional recognition options for difficult shapes. The decision should follow sample trials, required challenges, count assurance, and maintenance capability.
Can one YOKO-10S recipe cover tablets and capsules?
Separate recipes are normally established because vibration, feed spacing, sensor response, funnel setup, and line speed differ by product. A recipe name does not replace physical change parts or verification. Each product and bottle combination should have documented settings and a count challenge before production use.
Why does a higher count per bottle reduce output?
The machine must detect and discharge more units for each container, so the bottle remains at the filling position longer. Product feed rate, lane occupancy, bottle exchange time, and downstream handling also contribute. The published 1,200–3,000-bottle range references 30–100 units per bottle and should not be extrapolated without a trial.
Which product conditions can disturb electronic counting?
Heavy dust, static, product overlap, bounce, fragments, very translucent units, inconsistent coating, oily surfaces, and poor hopper flow can affect spacing or detection. Product presentation and sensor cleanliness should be observed during a sustained trial, including normal replenishment and stop-start operation.
What data is needed for a complete bottling-line quotation?
Provide product samples, units per bottle, bottle and cap drawings, liner and desiccant or cotton requirements, target sustained bottles per minute, label and coding data, utilities, line length, inspection points, and documentation needs. This allows the counter to be balanced with every upstream and downstream stage.
