ABSTRACT:
A counting and filling apparatus for tablets, dragees, or similar elements comprises a plurality of counting bars arranged parallel and closely adjacent each other and each formed with a plurality of cutouts therethrough, spaced from each other in the longitudinal direction of the bars. The bars are connected in the region of opposite ends by chains or the like to form an endless receiving and transporting unit, which is guided over front and rear reversing rolls, at least one of which is driven so that the unit moves along an endless path having an upper and a lower run. The elements are filled in the region of the upper run into the cutouts of the counting bars and prevented from falling out of the same by a boundary means extending along the upper run and the front reversing roll. Scanning means are provided to check the presence or absence of elements in each of the cutouts of the bars as the latter pass the scanning means, and the scanning means cooperate with ejector means for ejecting all elements from the cutout of the respective bar if the scanning means senses the absence of an element in at least one of the cutouts of the bar, or the scanning means cooperate with additional filling means to fill any empty cutout in the respective bar.
