PURPOSE: To certainly and efficiently print the surface of a tablet by a method wherein tablets are fed to the first hopper under vacuum to be charged in the second hopper and a proper amount of the tablets are supplied from said second hopper to be arranged and laminated through straight advance and rotary vibrators and a tablet arranging chute, and the opening and closing shutter and receiving plate provided under the lower part of the chute are controlled in synchronous relation to a take-out drum.
CONSTITUTION: The tablets sucked in the first hopper 13 under vacuum fall to the second hopper 5 naturally and are discharged on a straight advance vibrator 3 provided to the lower end of the hopper 5 while the amount thereof in the hopper 5 is controlled by upper and lower limit sensors 11, 12 provided to the hopper 5. Then, the tablets are charged on the rotary plate of a rotary vibrator 17 by vibration. In this vibrator 17, the tablets are further also controlled to a proper amount by a level controller 20 and fall to the spring chute 23 of a tablet arranging chute 21 to be accumulated in a fixed chute 24. The lowermost tablet accumulated therein is once received on a shutter 28 and, the moment the shutter is opened, said tablet falls on a receiving plate 27. When a take-out drum 26 is rotated, said tablet falls in a pocket 33 and fixed in an accurate posture by sucking air.
