For example, if powders and tablets are packaged at the same time, even if it is attempted to count the number of tablets (tablet inspection), it will be buried in powders and difficult to count. This is because even when trying to measure the weight of the packaged powder (powder weight inspection), since the tablet is also packaged, it is troublesome to subtract the weight of the tablet from one packaged weight.

Although the frequency is extremely low, when a tablet and powder are packaged at the same time, it is limited to the case where the packaging unit 701 is automatically operated, but it is possible to reduce the packaging speed. .
Specifically, the powder falls through the main hopper 505 into the wrapping paper when the packaging unit 701 is in the forward movement position (front side of the packaging device). Next, the packaging unit 701 moves to the initial position (the rear side of the packaging device), and the tablet falls into the wrapper through the main hopper 505. Then, the packaging mechanism is operated to seal the wrapping paper, and the tablets and powder are packaged in one package. After the wrapping paper is conveyed by one wrapping, the packaging unit 701 is moved again to the forward movement position (the front side of the wrapping apparatus), and the powder falls through the main hopper 505 into the wrapping paper. Next, the packaging unit 701 moves to the initial position (the rear side of the packaging device), and the tablet falls into the wrapper through the main hopper 505. Then, the packaging mechanism is operated to seal the wrapping paper, and the tablet and powder are packaged in one package. Repeat this.
