What is blister Packaging Machine
Blister packaging machines are a type of packaging machinery that are commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry to package tablets, capsules, softgels and other types of medication. These machines work by forming a blister, or pocket, out of a sheet of plastic or foil, and then filling the blister with a single dose of medication. The filled blisters are then sealed, typically with a heat seal, to protect the medication from contamination and to ensure that it remains fresh and effective.
There are several benefits to using blister packaging machines in the pharmaceutical industry. One major advantage is that they provide a high level of protection for the medication, ensuring that it remains safe and effective for the patient. Blister packaging also allows for precise dosing, as each blister contains a single dose of medication, making it easy for patients to follow their prescribed treatment regimen. Blister packaging machines are also highly efficient and cost-effective. These machines can produce large volumes of blister packs in a short amount of time, reducing production costs and increasing profitability for pharmaceutical manufacturers.
Working Flow of Blister Packaging Machine
The blister packaging machine for capsules, tablets, softgels, vials, ampoules, syringes, face masks, condoms, and suppositories has a complex workflow that involves multiple stages. The process begins with the material subgraph that includes all the materials that will be packaged. These materials are capsules, tablets, softgels, vials, ampoules, syringes, face masks, condoms, and suppositories.
The hopacking blister contains the feeders that are used to load the materials into the blister packaging machine. The feeders include brush feeders, vibration track feeders, dedicated feeders, and other customized feeders. The PVC feeding is then passed through an optional automatic film connection to the PVC heating stage. The PVC is then formed and cooled with water circulation before being passed through the feeders. The rollers brush and multi-material detection are used to ensure that the correct materials are loaded into the blister packaging machine. An optional vision detection system can also be used at this stage.
The heat sealing stage is where the blister packaging is sealed. The printing batch number is added at this stage before the blister is cut using a cutting machine. An optional vision detection system can also be used at this stage. The finished blister is then taken from the machine.
The forming aluminum feeding stage involves feeding aluminum into the blister packaging machine. An optional automatic film connection can be used at this stage. The aluminum is then formed using a forming machine before being passed through the feeders. An optional Al/PL/AL blister can also be used at this stage. The material uploader - LF100 is used to upload the material into the blister packaging machine.
Working principle of a blister packaging machine
The working principle of a blister packaging machine involves several steps, which may vary depending on the specific type of machine and the products being packaged. In general, however, the process can be broken down into the following steps:
Forming the blister: The first step in the blister packaging process is to form a blister out of a sheet of plastic or foil material. This is typically done using a process called thermoforming, in which the sheet material is heated to a pliable temperature and then formed into the desired shape using a mold.
Filling the blister: Once the blister has been formed, it is filled with the product being packaged. This is typically done using a filling station, which consists of a hopper that holds the product and a filling mechanism that dispenses the product into the blister. The filling mechanism may be a simple gravity-fed system, or it may be a more complex system that uses specialized dispensing equipment to ensure accurate and consistent filling.
Sealing the blister: After the blister has been filled with the product, it is sealed to protect the product and prevent contamination. This is typically done using a heat seal, which involves applying heat and pressure to the blister to create a strong, airtight seal. The heat seal is typically created using a pair of heated sealing jaws, which are brought together under pressure to seal the blister.
Inspecting and trimming the blister pack: Once the blister has been sealed, it is typically inspected for defects or irregularities. Any defective blisters are removed from the production line, while good blisters are trimmed to the desired size and shape.
The difference between roller-plate blister machine and Intermittent plate blister packaging machine
The roller-plate blister packaging machine uses a circular forming mold and is driven by a servo motor to meet the requirements of continuous and high-speed production. This machine is ideal for materials that have higher requirements.
The Intermittent plate blister packaging machine uses servo or cam traction, intermittent forming, and sealing. This machine can pack more types of materials, but its output is not as high as the roller-plate blister packaging machine.
Both the roller-plate blister sealing machine and Intermittent plate blister packaging machine have their advantages and disadvantages. The roller-plate blister packaging machine is ideal for high-speed production of materials with higher requirements, while the Intermittent plate blister packaging machine is more flexible in packing different types of materials but has a lower output. The choice between these two machines depends on the specific requirements of the production process.
