THE CAPSULE FILLING MACHINE is equipment used to fill capsules with medicines or other substances, ensuring accurate dosage and ease of packaging. This machine facilitates the filling of capsules or similar packaging units, making it convenient for both usage and transportation.

WHAT IS A CAPSULE FILLING MACHINE FOR BLISTER PACKS?

A CAPSULE BLISTER PACKING MACHINE is a machine used in the final stage of product manufacturing. Its function is to convey plastic film, form it into a blister pack to hold capsules, and then seal it with aluminum foil to prevent contamination and maintain quality. Afterward, the machine cuts the blister packs to the specified size.

 

WORKING PRINCIPLE

The machine starts by conveying plastic film into the machine, where it is heated and formed into cavities to hold capsules. After the capsules are placed in the cavities, aluminum foil is fed in to seal the top. Finally, the machine cuts the filled blister film to the desired size.

 

MACHINE COMPONENTS

  • Plastic film conveyor system
  • Aluminum foil sealing panel
  • Heating system to form the blister cavities

HISTORY OF THE CAPSULE BLISTER PACKING MACHINE TECHNOLOGY

Blister packaging technology emerged in the 1960s to meet the need for safe packaging of pharmaceuticals, ensuring that medicines remained secure and maintained their quality. The plastic blister pack was designed to provide visibility and easy storage of capsules or tablets while protecting them from air and moisture.

The development of automatic capsule blister machines increased production efficiency. The use of plastic film forming technology combined with aluminum foil sealing to encapsulate capsules became the standard in the pharmaceutical industry to this day.

OVERVIEW OF THE WORKING PROCESS OF THE CAPSULE BLISTER PACKING MACHINE

  1. PREPARATION OF THE BLISTER PANEL
    Before the machine starts working, the blister panel must be prepared in advance. The blister panel will have a specific design suitable for the size and shape of the capsules to be packed.
  2. DETECTION AND GRASPING OF CAPSULES
    The machine will detect and grasp each available capsule, using the appropriate gripper to ensure that all capsules are packed completely and correctly.
  3. TRANSPORTING CAPSULES TO THE BLISTER PANEL
    After the capsules are gripped, they will be sent to the previously positioned blister panel.
  4. PACKING OF CAPSULES
    The machine will automatically pack the capsules into the blister panel, adjusting the depth and placement of the capsules to fit into the correct positions. This process is often controlled and monitored by an electronic system to ensure that the capsules are correctly packed into the blister panel.
  5. SEALING THE BLISTER PANEL
    Once the capsules are fully packed in the blister panel, the machine’s system will seal the blister panel securely, enclosing the capsules tightly.
  6. EJECTION AND PACKING
    When the blister panel is full, it will be ejected from the machine and prepared for further packaging or use.

The capsule blister packing machine is essential for the production of pharmaceuticals or other substances that require precise and accurate packaging. Using this machine helps improve production efficiency and reduces errors in packing products into the blister panel, ensuring high-quality products that are effectively presented to customers.
