PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tablet feeder and a PTP packing machine capable of suppressing a decrease in product quality.SOLUTION: A PTP packing machine comprises a tablet feeder sequentially feeding tablets 5 to a filling device. The tablet feeder comprises: a hopper 41 storing tablets 5; a receiving tray member 42A of a forward movement feeder 42 receiving the tablets 5 dropped from a discharge port 41C opened at a lower part of the hopper; and a vibrator 42B vibrating the receiving tray member 42A. A vibrating rod 51 comprising an elastic body such as rubber and inserted from a discharge port 41C of the hopper 41 into the hopper 41 stands on an upper surface of the receiving tray member 42A. The tablets 5 dropped from the hopper 41 are sequentially transferred to a downstream side by vibrating the receiving tray member 42A. The dropping of the tablets 5 is enhanced by the vibration of the vibrating rod 51 in the hopper 41 together with the vibration of the receiving tray member 42A, and the hopper 41 or the like is prevented from being clogged with the tablets 5. |
