Automated Pharmaceutical Solutions: Blister Packing Machines and Capsule Fillers

Blister Packing MachineBlister packs are a type of preformed plastic packaging which are specifically manufactured for packing pharmaceutical goods. They are usually made of thermoformed plastic, containing cavities or pockets in the form of a web. The increased demand for these blister packs due to the rise in the pharmaceutical market has given rise to automated blister packing machines. Most of these machines use heat and pressure via a die from a roll of plastic to give rise to cavities or pockets.

The recent years have seen wide improvisations in the process of manufacturing the blister packs. The packing machines nowadays have improved cold forming methods which allows steeper depth thus the amount of plastic required to form one pocket is less, on a whole optimizing the procedure. Several cutting-edge technologies have also grabbed the market, like rotary thermoforming, flat-forming, rotary sealing and flat-bed thermoforming. These technologies have offered reliability, ace-quality performance as well as affordability to the blister packaging machines.

The machines working on rotary thermoforming technology, apart from forming and sealing, utilizes the revolutionary single drum method to produce high quality blisters on the go. It is a continuous method specially designed to optimize investments on the machine and its parts. The rotary sealing is a high speed blister packing machine suitable for thermoformed and multi lid ding foil. The flat-forming and flat-sealing are power booster blister formers featuring precision and position control. They are high output machines, suitable for both PVC and PVdc.

Capsule Filling Machine
Capsule filling machines are equipments that are use to fill empty capsules with medicines and nutrients. They are available both in personal and commercial form. The personal capsule filler is generally used for one's own use while the commercial ones are used to fill capsules with substances on a larger scale. The machines are designed with utmost care and expertise to handle sizes from the smallest, 1, 0, 00 and 000, which is the largest. The size of the capsule filler also affects the size of the capsule, bigger the size of the machine, larger the capsule.

The capsule filling machine is available both as a manually operated and automated machine. The manually operated machine however calls for precisely machined components which are to be assembled by highly skilled personnel. The manual operated capsule fillers are generally used in research laboratories, academic institutions and middle or small scale industries. The automated capsule loading machined however can be used to speed up the loading activity and as such they are used in places of large scale production. The automated capsule fillers can produce 27000 capsules or more in an hour.
