Product Description
Infrared sensor counting systems have been used in electronic pellet counters for over 20 years, but suffer from key limitations: inability to detect small pellets, inability to detect stacked tablets, susceptibility to over-counting dusty pellets, and miscounting transparent fish oil capsules. Visual imaging counting solves these problems. The sensors used in visual counting were first widely adopted in photocopiers. Today, this technology is extensively used in various industrial inspection equipment and grain sorters. Israeli company DATA Inc. pioneered its application in electronic pellet counters. However, due to the high cost of this solution and insufficient dedicated software development for pellet counters, its application remained limited. Our company first developed infrared electronic pellet counting sensors and control systems in 2011. Since 2016, we have replaced traditional infrared systems with a combination of a linear CCD camera and a high-speed ARM processor in our counting sensor – a significant technological breakthrough bringing transformative changes to electronic pellet counting machines. CCD sensors are widely used across industries, and ARM processors are predominantly used in the mobile phone sector, with frequent upgrades. Therefore, the components used in our product, from signal acquisition to processing, are stable, mature, and currently cannot be domestically produced in China.
