company news about What is a Blister Packaging Machine? A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners

Blister packaging is done through the molded blister filled with products, using aluminum foil and other covering materials, and then into a bubble substrate heat sealing into a form of packaging. Blister packaging with its beautiful appearance, good barrier properties, and convenience of carrying and use, packaging materials can be recycled and has many other advantages, It has been widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, and is currently drug tablets, capsules, suppositories, and other solid pharmaceuticals, one of the most important packaging methods, in the global market share of the drug package of about 30%; but also widely used in food, health care, cosmetics, toys, gifts, electronic components and mechanical and electrical spare parts and other products. Electromechanical parts and components and other products packaging, in the packaging to reduce the volume, and improve the convenience of people's lives play an important role.

What are the types of blister packs？

Currently, there are fully automatic, automatic and semi-automatic blister packaging machines. The structure mainly includes: machine body, unwinder, heater, molding section, feeding section, heating section, clamping device, printing device, punching, control system and so on.

Blister packaging methods are diverse, covering a wide range of aspects from molding methods, opening methods to structural forms, automation degree, material selection and so on. Each type has its own specific application scenarios and advantages and disadvantages, need to choose the right packaging method according to specific needs.

Why use blister packs?
1. Strong protection performance
Blister packaging forms a sealed cavity through plastic film and aluminum foil, which can effectively prevent the drugs from moisture, light and air pollution, thus prolonging the shelf life of the drugs and ensuring their quality and safety. In addition, the sealing of blister packaging is good, can prevent dust, moisture and other external factors on the erosion of the product, to maintain the original quality of the product.

2. Easy to carry and use
Blister packaging has a simple design, easy to open and close, and consumers can take individual doses as needed, which is both convenient and hygienic. This design is especially suitable for medicines, cosmetics and other products that need to be frequently accessed, but also reduces the risk of contamination in the process of carrying and use of drugs.

3. Accurate dosage, reducing medication errors
The blister packs can accurately dispense the dose of medication, avoiding medication errors caused by patients taking out too much medication at one time. In addition, the dosage information (e.g. drug name, dosage, batch number and expiration date) labeled in each blister helps patients to take the drugs correctly.

4. High production efficiency and low cost
The production process of blister packaging is highly automated, suitable for mass production, and equipment operation is stable, high production efficiency. Compared with traditional packaging, the cost of blister packaging is lower, especially in mass production more economic advantages.

5. High safety
The sealing and anti-tampering design of blister packaging can effectively prevent the theft or tampering with medicines. In addition, blister packs often have written instructions printed on the surface of the aluminum material, avoiding the risk of misdosing or wrong dosage.

6. Wide range of application
Blister packs are not only suitable for pharmaceuticals, but can also be used in a wide range of industries such as cosmetics, food, and electronic products.

Development trend of blister packaging machine
As the realization of the blister packaging form of traditional pharmaceutical blister packaging machine, cartoning machine and other stand-alone equipment, due to a single function, low production efficiency, modularity, standardization is poor, the weak resistance to external factors, health stability and reliability is not high, has been unable to meet today's social production needs, so with the molding of the blister, the drug collation and filling, sealing, instructions for the folding and insertion of blister plate into the box and carton sealing all processes completed in one go, integration, stability and higher degree of intelligence is very popular among major pharmaceutical companies. So the automatic blister cartoning machine with blister molding, drug finishing and filling, sealing, manual folding and inserting, blister plate sealing and carton sealing all processes completed in one go, integration, stability, intelligence degree is higher by the major pharmaceutical enterprises welcome.
Automatic blister cartoning machine integrates machine, electricity, gas and photoelectricity in one, with many judgment signals and control points, frequent execution of actions, PLC control, one-button operation, highly automated and unattended, so that the operation and maintenance is more convenient, and has multiple protection, emergency stop and alarm functions.
