Blister Packing Machine Working Principle
A blister packing machine aids in the process of packing products in blisters. This process involves a series of steps which include;
Turning On The Blister Packing Machine
The whole blister packing process begins with switching the blister packing machine.
This initiates the rollers on the machine to start moving, moving the materials to the next stage.
Heating Off The Raw Materials
In this stage, the materials will undergo heating at a specific temperature. This allows the formed fil to heat up into a soft film which forms the cavities.
Note, that the temperature setting depends on which type of material you are using for the production of blister packs.
Both the upper plate and lower plate help maintain consistency and uniform heating of the forming film.
Film Cavity Formation
For quality and suitable formation of cavities, die plates or compressed air will be used to necessitate thermoforming.
The blister packing machine will later cool down to allow the formation of cavities which you can then easily place your products.
A stamping mechanism and punching pins are employed during the cold formation of cavities.
The cooling down allows the blister pacts to obtain a rigid shape as desired for the packing of different products.
Filling Cavities And Checking Empty Cavities
In this stage, the blister cavities will be filled with the required products before sealing is done.
The filling process can either be manual or automatic depending on which machine you will be using.
In most cases, you will find blister packing machine has an empty pocket detector to detect any empty cavities, especially when using aluminum foil.
Sealing Of Blisters
The already filled blisters are ready for sealing at this stage.
Lidding material is used to make the seal on the blister packs and it should be reading available every time the forming film reaches the sealing unit.
After placing the lidding material, the heat-sealing unit will seal up the blisters under appropriate heat and temperature.
In this case to ensure firm sealing high temperature and pressure are applied during the heat-sealing process.
Trimming And Printing The Blister Packs
This is the final stage of the blister packing process.
The blister pack will move to the next stage of printing where the machine embosses the set message onto the blister pack.
Some of the information that the blister packing machine will emboss on the blister pack includes; batch number, expiry date, and date of manufacture.
The blister pack will then move forward for trimming to get the required units before moving out of the blister packing machine.
