  • Print registration system (Optional)
  • Basically this system is provided to maintain position of the particular print matter on the Al.foil to the forming pocket. The eye mark on the Al.foil is sensed by the print mark scanner in every cycle and the correction is done by pulling roller so that the matter on the lidding foil matches with particular pocket or with particular blister.
  • Non filled detection system (NFD) (Optional)
  • Basically this system is provided to detect any non-filled blisters. Each and every pocket of the blister is sensed by the sensor. After getting the signal, the empty blisters are rejected by the suckers provided in the pick up station which are connected to the pneumatic line and the vacuum line.
  • Sealing station
  • This station consist of bottom plate, top plate, bottom sealing plate, top sealing plate, heater plate and pneumatic parts. To match sealing station with formed blister, sealing station can be adjusted with the help of allen key. After station gets closed, the hydraulic pressure operates and sealing takes place. The temp. of the top sealing plate is kept from 180- 200 degree C. depending upon the format size. The hydraulic pressure is same like forming station as operated by same Power Pack.

  • Brief Process Description
  • General Function
  • Blister packing machine BQS is a flat bed compressed air forming and flat sealing continuous motion machine suitable for blister packing of tablets/hard gelatine capsules / soft gelatine capsules and cavity depth upto 12mm.
  • BQS can handle PVC/PVDC & ALU. -ALU. as base films for forming the cavities. Aluminum foil or Paper foil is used for sealing the cavities & suitable lacquer is used to seal the film to base foil.
  • Working
  • In case of thermoplastic PVC/PVDC thermoplastic as base foil, cavities are formed by compressed air normally 4-6 bar after heating the foil in heating station at 120 ° C. This web is formed in continuous motion through forming & sealing station & pulled by pulling roller. Forming & sealing stations carry out the shuttle movement. Formed web is then sealed in sealing station with suitable foil.
  • After sealing, sealed web is passed through perforation /embossing station & then to punching station for cutting the blister. Different types of product infeed systems are used for feeding the product in cavities at higher speed in continuous motion.
  • The machine is designed for single or twin lane operation .Its output depends on type of product, its layout & arrangement of stripes in one stroke as well as infeed of the products into the cavities.
  • All systems are selected to produce the maximum output of the quality blister stripes. The machine is also designed to handle special type of films like Alu-Alu with additional parts.
  • Following are the forming techniques used in BQS Compressed air forming:
  • Flat bed machines are normally designed with compressed air forming.
  • Thermoplastic film is heated by flat heating plates at 120 –130 ° C & then passed in forming station to form the cavities .In forming station compressed air with 4-6 bar is blown on hot film which is clamped between forming & blowing plates.
  • Cavities formed by this process are stiff at bottom side compare to vacuum forming  & also very less temperature is required to form the cavities as cavity formation process is very fast.
  • Plug assisted air forming:
  • In plug assist air compressed forming, first partial forming takes place by inserting the plug into the cavity with the heated PVC web and then the compressed air is injected from the sides of the plug for cavity forming. In plug assist forming cavity formed is of more uniform thickness and thickness achieved is more compared to vacuum forming and compressed air forming. Mainly it is recommended for deep cavities.
  • Cold forming (ALU. -ALU. Blister forming):
  • In recent years a new base film is developed having extremely good barrier properties for hydroscopic products or products affected by light.  In cold forming, forming takes place with help of plugs (Metallic or Teflon) which are pressed with very high pressure against firmly clamped ALU-ALU film (special type Multi layered film). Blister produced with this type of forming gives very good barrier properties & product stability. Packing cost is comparatively high.
