Blister Packaging Machine

Blister packaging machines are used by the pharmaceutical industry to pack capsule and tablets. The packing process initiates with the capsules or tablets being loaded into a hopper and then into a feeder, which in turn can either be linear feeder or a brush box feeder depending on the shape of the product and also the material to be used. Heated rollers in the machine use different plastic films to form blisters that are subsequently filled with tablets. Some machines make use of aluminium foil to form blisters. Machines are manufactured according to the size, depth and material used to form blisters. After tablets have been inserted in the formed blisters, cavities are heat sealed using foil.
