Which Blister is Best for Medicine Packing?
A Grandpack Counting Machine Begins Its Journey to Greece
Introduction
It is another busy morning at the Grand Machinery factory. The sound of forklifts humming and tools clicking fills the air. Today is a special day for our logistics team. We are preparing a shipment that is traveling thousands of miles. A brand-new counting machine is ready to leave our facility. Its destination? The historic and beautiful country of Greece.
Global trade is not just about moving boxes. It is about connecting solutions with problems. Our client in Greece needed a reliable way to automate their packaging. They came to us. They found the perfect Pharmaceutical counting machine. Now, we are delivering on our promise.
This shipment represents more than just a sale. It represents trust. It shows that Grandpack is a serious player in the global market. As our Sales Manager, Fiona, proudly points out:
"We are experts in the field of Chinese pharmaceutical machinery, with exports covering many countries around the world. Counting machines are one of our best-selling products."
"We are experts in the field of Chinese pharmaceutical machinery, with exports covering many countries around the world. Counting machines are one of our best-selling products."
Fiona is right. Whether it is a small laboratory in Europe or a massive factory in South America, our machines are there. Let’s take a closer look at this shipment, the technology behind it, and why this equipment is vital for modern production.
The Star of the Show: The ZC-4A Desktop Counter
Looking at the photos from our warehouse, you can see the machine being prepped. This specific model is our ZC-4A. It is a four-channel desktop electronic counting machine.
Why did the Greek client choose this one? It is compact. It is powerful. It is precise.
For small to medium-sized batches, you do not always need a giant machine. You need something that fits on a table but works like a beast. The ZC-4A does exactly that. It is made of high-quality stainless steel. It looks clean and professional. It meets all GMP requirements. In the photos, you can see the shiny hopper and the vibrating channels. It is a beautiful piece of engineering.
Secured for the Long Haul
Shipping to Greece involves a long journey. It involves trucks, ships, and handling ports. We do not take risks with packaging.
Take a look at how we pack. First, we wrap the entire machine in a thick protective film. This keeps moisture out. Salt air from the ocean can be corrosive. The film prevents that. It also protects against dust.

Next, we place the machine in a sturdy wooden box. This isn't just cheap plywood. We use strong, export-grade wood. You can see in the images how the box is reinforced. We use metal clasps to lock the sides together.
We also include the essentials. Right on top of the machine, sealed in a bag, is the User Manual. We never forget this. A machine is only good if you know how to use it. We ensure our clients have all the information they need the moment they open the box.
What Exactly is a Counting Machine?
To the average person, counting pills seems simple. "One, two, three..." But imagine doing that all day. Imagine counting 100,000 pills. Now, imagine you cannot make a single mistake.
This is where the automatic pill counter comes in.
The counting machine comes with an instruction manual.
A counting machine is a specialized device designed to count individual units of a product accurately. In the pharmaceutical world, these units are usually tablets, capsules, or pills. However, they can also be candies, screws, or agricultural seeds.
The Working Principle: How Does It Work?
The magic happens through vibration and "eyes." Here is the simple breakdown of the process:
Feeding: You pour your product into the top hopper. This is the large funnel you see in the pictures.
Vibration: The machine has multi-stage vibration channels. These are like little slides. The plates vibrate gently. This shaking separates the pile of pills. It makes them move in a single file line. They walk down the tracks one by one.
Detection: This is the brain of the operation. As the pills fall off the end of the track, they pass through infrared photoelectric sensors. These sensors are the "eyes." They count every single object that falls past them.
Filling: Once the sensor counts the target number (for example, 100 pills), the machine stops the flow or switches chutes. The pills fall directly into the bottle or bag waiting below.
It sounds simple, but the technology is advanced. A high-quality tablet counter must ignore dust. It must handle different shapes. It must be fast.
Why is the Counting Machine So Important?
You might ask, "Why not just weigh the bottles?"

Weighing is fast, but it is not accurate enough for medicine. A Capsule counting machine is superior for several reasons.
1. Accuracy is King
In the pharmaceutical industry, 99% accuracy is not enough. You need 100%. If a patient needs 30 antibiotic pills, you cannot give them 29. You cannot give them 31. Weighing scales can be tricked by slight variations in pill weight. An automatic pill counter counts the physical number. It does not guess.
2. Hygiene and Safety
Human hands are dirty. Even with gloves, manual counting introduces risks. A Pharmaceutical counting machine is a closed system. The contact parts are made of 316L stainless steel. This material is easy to clean. It does not rust. It ensures that the medicine remains pure.
3. Efficiency and Speed
Our Greek client will notice this immediately. A human might count 5 bottles a minute. The ZC-4A can do much more. Our larger machines can do hundreds. This boosts production. It lowers labor costs. The machine pays for itself very quickly.
4. Versatility
These machines are not picky. Do you have hard capsules? It counts them. Do you have soft gels? No problem. A Soft Capsule Counting Machine handles the squishy, sticky texture of fish oil or vitamin E capsules without breaking them. Tablets, round pills, oblong shapes—the machine handles them all.

Scaling Up: Beyond the Desktop
The machine going to Greece is a 4-channel desktop model. It is perfect for their current needs. But Grandpack supports companies of all sizes. As your business grows, your tablet counting machine needs to grow too.
This is where our high-speed series comes in. We offer much larger solutions for mass production.
The 8-Channel Counting Machine
This is the next step up. It has double the capacity of the desktop unit. It sits on the floor. It usually integrates into a full bottling line. It works in sync with bottle unscramblers and capping machines. It is the workhorse for medium-sized pharmaceutical companies.
The 16-Channel High-Speed Machine
This is the beast. If you see a pill counting machine for sale and it has 16 channels, you are looking at serious volume.
The 16-channel machine splits the vibration tracks. It allows for massive throughput. We are talking about thousands of tablets per minute.
Speed: It is incredibly fast.
Smart Rejection: If a pill is broken or chipped, advanced models can detect it. They do not count it.
Integration: It talks to the rest of the line. If the capper stops, the counter pauses. It is fully automated.
Whether you need a Soft Capsule Counting Machine or a standard tablet counter, the number of channels defines your speed.
Why Choose Chinese Machinery?
Fiona’s quote earlier highlights a key point. We are experts. For a long time, European machinery was the only option. It was also incredibly expensive.
Today, Chinese manufacturing has changed the game. Grandpack represents this shift. We offer European quality without the astronomical price tag.
Technology: We use top-tier PLC controls (like Siemens). We use reliable sensors.
Durability: Our machines are built to last. The wooden box in the photo protects a machine that will run for years.
Service: Exporting to Greece is easy for us. We handle the paperwork. We handle the logistics.
The Grandpack Difference
When you search for a pill counting machine for sale, you find many options. Why did the client in Greece pick us?
It comes down to detail. Look at the photos again. Look at the "User Manual" carefully packed. We don't just throw the machine in a box. We ensure the client can use it. We offer video support. If the client in Athens has a question, we answer it. We understand that a Pharmaceutical counting machine is the heart of the packaging line. If it stops, the whole factory stops. We build our machines to keep running.
Conclusion: A Partner for Your Growth
The box is nailed shut. The truck is waiting. Soon, this counting machine will be on a ship crossing the Mediterranean. In a few weeks, it will be in a cleanroom in Greece. It will start vibrating. It will start counting. It will help a company deliver medicine to patients who need it.
We are proud of this.
