By integrating a high-density triple-lane architecture with our most advanced sensor logic, the APC-48 provides massive output while maintaining a surprisingly compact footprint. Designed for relentless 9am to 11pm Eastern, Monday to Friday industrial performance, it is the ultimate tool for facilities that demand the highest production density on the planet.
Triple-Lane Output: 48-channel synchronized architecture delivering extreme industrial speeds of up to 360 BPM.
One-to-One Precision Logic: 48 independent high-speed processors ensure ≥99.9% counting accuracy at a combined rate of 25,000+ pcs/min.
Hexa-Turbo Dust Extraction: A massive dust-management network with 6 high-capacity vacuum ports designed for high-friction mega-batches.
Smart Factory Hub: Premium Pro-face™ control system with seamless MES/SCADA connectivity.
360 BPM Triple-Lane Architecture
The ultimate engine for mega-scale production. It splits the massive 48-channel flow into three parallel filling lanes, maximizing throughput without increasing linear bottle speed to unmanageable levels.
48-Channel "Independent Brain" Logic
Each of the 48 tracks is governed by its own dedicated processor. This distributed intelligence ensures zero “signal lag,” providing ≥99.9% verification for every single tablet, even during million-unit production runs.
Hexa-Turbo Industrial Dust Management
Engineered for extreme friction, featuring 6 strategic vacuum extraction points. This system removes 99% of airborne powder before it reaches the sensors, allowing the machine to run for days without stopping for cleaning.
High-Response Triple-Gating System
Utilizes ultra-fast pneumatic solenoids to manage three bottles simultaneously. The “look-ahead” logic ensures perfect batch separation with zero trailing, even at sub-second fill cycles.
Modular "Swift-Clean" Engineering
Despite its 48-channel scale, the machine uses a tool-less, quick-release sleeve design. An experienced team can execute a full GMP-grade deep clean in under 45 minutes, maximizing your OEE.

Why Choose AIPAK？
Compliance You Can Document
Every AIPAK machine is built to EU GMP design requirements with a Declaration of Conformity. Product-contact parts are 316L stainless steel. We support FAT, SAT, and a full documentation package for your qualification.
Decades of Engineering Expertise
Over 20 years building capsule, tablet, and powder handling equipment. We start from your dosage form, powder flow behaviour, and target output — then specify the machine, tooling, and change parts to match. You get a solution, not a catalogue pick.
Support That Keeps the Line Running
Downtime costs more than the machine. Our engineers run remote diagnostics by video call across North American time zones, and travel on site for installation, commissioning, and operator training when your line requires it.
Factory-Direct, Not a Trading Company
You buy from the plant that builds the machine. That means direct pricing with no middleman markup, direct access to our engineering team for custom modifications, and one accountable party for warranty and spare parts.
Ideal Applications & Industries
APC-32 Automatic Electronic Counting Machine FAQ
This is where our One-to-One Precision Logic becomes a mechanical necessity. While standard counters use a centralized CPU that can be overwhelmed by high-frequency pulses, the APC-48 utilizes a distributed processing architecture. Each of the 48 channels has its own dedicated microprocessor that handles detection and verification locally. This ensures zero “signal queuing” and maintains ≥99.9% counting accuracy even when the machine is pushed to its absolute 360 BPM limit.
The APC-48 is designed to be the “Intelligence Hub” of your bottling line. It features a synchronized triple-lane bottle management system that can communicate directly with high-speed rotary unscramblers and cappers. By filling three bottles simultaneously, we keep the linear conveyor speed at a manageable level, preventing bottle tipping or agitation while still achieving an industry-leading output of 360 BPM.
High speed equals high friction, which creates significant dust. The APC-48 is equipped with our Hexa-Turbo Industrial Dust Management system. We have placed 6 strategic high-velocity vacuum ports at every friction point—from the initial hopper drop to the final counting edge. This, combined with our Dual-Dust Compensation algorithm, allows the sensors to self-calibrate in real-time, effectively doubling the production window between manual cleaning cycles.
On the contrary, we applied Modular Redundancy to its design. The 48-track assembly is divided into three 16-channel blocks. Each block can be removed using our tool-less, quick-release “Swift-Clean” system. An experienced 2-person team can perform a full GMP-grade teardown and deep-clean of all contact parts in under 45 minutes, ensuring that your OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) remains the highest in the industry.
This is a critical engineering challenge we solved with our Heavy-Duty Harmonic-Absorbing Chassis. The APC-48 is built on a reinforced, high-mass platform that neutralizes micro-vibrations before they reach the optical sensors. This ensures that the “product curtain” remains perfectly steady and the infrared sensors stay in perfect alignment, even during continuous 9am to 11pm Eastern, Monday to Friday industrial shifts.
For the mega-scale facilities that use the APC-48, data integrity is paramount. Every parameter adjustment, login, and batch report is logged with a timestamp and operator ID. This allows for total “Data Accountability,” making the machine virtually audit-ready at any moment.
Yes. The APC-48 is Industry 4.0 ready. It features full Industrial Ethernet connectivity and supports MQTT/OPC-UA protocols. You can monitor real-time throughput, OEE, and error logs from your mobile device or a centralized control room. Our engineers can also provide Secure Remote Diagnostics to troubleshoot any issues without needing to travel to your site, maximizing your uptime.
We use Ultra-Fast Pneumatic Solenoids with a response time of less than 10 milliseconds. The system’s “Look-Ahead” logic calculates the trajectory of falling tablets in real-time. As the final count is reached, the triple-lane gates snap shut with absolute precision, ensuring that “extra” tablets never fall into the bottle, even during sub-second filling cycles.
