What is blister packing machine?

Blister packing machine can form blisters with transparent plastic film or sheet. Then materials will be filled into the blister and then covered by PTP film through heat sealing or gluing. Therefore, this machine is commonly used for PTP/PVC blister packaging of medicines (tablets, capsules), food, medical instruments, health care products, electronic components and other similar materials.

PVC sheet is firstly heated and then formed in mold and through compressed air to blisters of specific shape and size. This is actually the principle of blister forming on blister packing machine.

Experts point out that blister packing machine in current market is diverse. Most of them have following advantages: stable performance, full functions, high automation, high efficiency, packing material saving and long service life. There is no doubt that materials of these features can help enterprises to save cost as much as possible.

Particularly, heat seal can exactly represent performance of blister packing machine. Excellent blister packing machine have good roller heat sealing performance. It is stable, generates no horizontal waste and keep synchronous. Therefore, it is favored by many users.

It is known that blister packing machine has two types of heat sealing mode, namely roller and flat. Flat heat sealing is more effective than roller heat sealing, while roller heat sealing is better than the other one in speed and reliability. The machine is customized according to users’ different requirements.

Experts also shows that many problems might occur during blister forming, heat sealing and material feeding in practical production of blister packing machine. They are problems of unstable equipment performance and should be valued and solved by manufacturers.

As a result, manufacturers regulate machine manufacturing strictly, from structure design, to manufacturing, to checking... Based on structure design, manufacturers develop their machines and accumulate design and production experience continuously. Standardized and regulated production also help them to check and make sure if applied parameters of blister packing machine is suitable. Besides, series of instruction and data coming from test can prove equipment reliability and stability of equipment production. In the end, the machine will be out of factory only after all its indexes conform to technical requirements and GMP requirements.

From the functional point of view, an ideal machine should be low-cost and high-efficiency. It means that the equipment should have perfect functions. Currently, many blister packing machines in the market is of small size, low cost, multiple functions, high efficiency, no pollution and low noise. They are widely applied in purification workshop or preparation room of hospitals.

In addition, multifunctional blister packing machine is of higher automation and complete functions, which makes them to be used to pack capsules, tablets, sugar-coated tablets, gel pills, injection, irregular materials, medical instruments, food and electronic parts.

On the other hand, blister packages can also bring producers high value, higher production efficiency and lower cost.

To sum up, blister packing machine have a bright prospect as industries of medicine, foodstuff and so on develops rapidly. Statistically, demand of global medical packaging market grows by 6% annually. This figures even reached 10.6% in China during 2014-2018. Blister packing machine, as a member in medical packing line, has good opportunities for development. Even though, manufacturers should be keep pace with market trend and upgrade their machines continuously to respond to fast-changing markets.
