The PF8 machine is capable of counting and feeding vitamin type round tablets, oblong tablets, 2 piece capsules and large fish oil type gelatin capsules. The product counter is designed to count and fill 8 different types of products with single or multiple counts of each type product. When dispensing the products into a single pouch the production rate is 45 to 50 bags, pouches per minute. With some products the PF8 can fill 4 different products into two side by side pouches (2 pouches, bags per cycle) and then achieve a total through put of 80 bags per minute.

The back plate is made of T6061 aluminum tooling plate and is black anodized to seal the pores of the aluminum.
