What is Blister Packing Machine
Blister packing machine can pack medicine, honey and ketchup, e-cigarette etc. to blisters, max. molding area is 270*270mm, the max. output is 30,000 blisters/h. It can be connected with tablet press machine, capsule filling machine and cartoning machine to form an automated production line with high production efficiency.
Type of Blister Packing Machine
According to the degree of automation can be divided into manual blister packing machine, flat plate blister packaging machine, roller high speed blister machine , the main role is to load the materials into the alu-pvc, alu-alu blisters for the next step of packaging. The difference between alu-pvc packing and alu-alu packing is: alu-pvc material is cheaper, alu-alu packing can be protected from light, mainly based on your needs to choose the right packaging method.
Manual Blister Packing Machine
Manual blister packing machine, you need to manually complete a series of actions by yourself.
Preliminary preparations: connecting electricity, connecting gas, alu pvc, aluminum foil
Forming: when the temperature reaches the machine set the molding temperature, press the molding button, pull the aluminum pvc by hand, molding a pull back a bit
Feeder: add the tablets or capsules you want to pack into the molded blister.
Heat sealing: Stack the blister with tablets and alu foil on top and bottom, press the heat sealing button, the machine will automatically heat seal the blister.
Cutting: Put the heat-sealed alu-pvc blister on the cutting station, press the button of punching and cutting, and then an aluminum-plastic blister will come out.
Flat Plate Blister Packaging Machine
With the progress of the times, the demand for medicines and health care products increases, manual blister machine due to low output can no longer meet the market demand, flat plate blister packaging machine has become the preferred machine for packaging. The following is its working principle:
Preparation: Prepare raw materials, wear film, connect chiller, connect electricity, connect gas, molding, heat sealing work station temperature heating to set value.
Feeding: Alu-pvc packaging generally choose brush feeder, cost-effective; Alu-alu packaging choose guide rail type feeding to prevent alu foil from being scratched. Put the tablets or capsules in the feeder, open the feeder, the tablets will be added into the blister automatically.
All molds can be customized, according to the size and shape of the material customized forming, heat sealing, punching and cutting molds. Equipped with Siemens PLC control system, automated production, no manual intervention, only add material when there is no material.
Liquid blister machine is mainly to put the liquid in the alu pvc blister, according to the viscosity of the material to choose a different way of filling, syringe pump, peristaltic pump, ceramic pump for your choice, the other stations are the same as the pill alu pvc blister packing machine.
Roller Blister Machine
Roller blister packing machine is a sophisticated piece of equipment designed for the efficient packaging of tablets, capsules, and other small medical products into blister packs. The working principle of this machine involves several key steps, each ensuring the precise and reliable packaging of pharmaceutical products. Here’s an in-depth look at how a roller blister packing machine operates:
Material Feeding: The process begins with the feeding of packaging materials. Typically, two types of materials are used: a base film (usually PVC or aluminum foil) and a lidding material (such as aluminum foil). The base film is unwound from a reel and fed into the machine, where it will form the cavities for the products. The lidding material is also unwound from a separate reel and fed into the machine for later sealing.
Heating and Forming: The base film passes through a heating station where it is heated to a precise temperature, making it pliable and ready for forming. The heated film then moves to the forming station, where it is pressed against a roller with cavity molds. Vacuum and/or pressure forming techniques are applied, causing the heated film to conform to the shape of the molds, creating pockets or blisters where the products will be placed.
Product Feeding: Once the blisters are formed, the machine moves the base film to the filling station. Here, the pharmaceutical products are fed into the individual cavities.
Sealing: After the products are placed in the blisters, the machine moves the filled film to the sealing station. The lidding material is positioned over the filled blisters, and both layers are passed between heated sealing rollers. The rollers apply heat and pressure, bonding the lidding material to the base film and effectively sealing the products inside the blisters. This creates a secure and tamper-evident package.
Cooling: The sealed blister packs are then passed through a cooling station. This step ensures that the sealed areas cool down and solidify, maintaining the integrity of the seals and preventing any deformation or leakage.
Perforating and Cutting: Once cooled, the continuous strip of blister packs is moved to the perforating and cutting station. Here, the machine perforates and cuts the strip into individual blister packs or larger sheets, depending on the desired final product configuration. This step often includes perforation lines for easy tearing and individual blister separation.
Inspection and Ejection: The final stage involves inspecting the blister packs for quality control. Automated systems check for correct product placement, proper sealing, and overall pack integrity. Any defective packs are automatically ejected from the production line. The finished blister packs are then collected for further packaging or direct distribution.
Roller blister packing machine ensures high-speed, efficient, and reliable packaging of pharmaceutical products. By automating the process from material feeding to final inspection, these machines significantly enhance productivity and maintain stringent quality standards, making them an essential component in modern pharmaceutical manufacturing.
