Different Automated Medication Packaging Systems
The goal of automated medication packaging systems is to develop innovative blister packaging solutions that transport tablets and capsules to the end-user safely and efficiently—without sacrificing efficacy.
In the pharmaceutical packaging industry, there is a wide range of automatic packaging machines that provide manufacturers with high-quality packaging, boost productivity, and lower operating costs.
The Argentecnica S-300 Automatic Packaging Machine
Designed to produce up to 300 blister packs per minute, the Argentecnica S-300 automatic packaging machine is equipped with a large feeding area, tool-less changeover features, and film and foil material integration. This full-scale production automated medication packaging system is also compatible with cold form or thermoformed packages.
The Argentecnica S-300 automatic packaging machine has a wide range of feeder options, including dedicated and universal brushbox feeders. It’s one of the most user-friendly, cost-effective blister packaging machines available on the market today.
The MAC S-300 Automatic Packaging Machine
The MAC S-300 is also an automatic packaging machine with thermoforming and cold-forming capabilities.
Features and Benefits
The Argentecnica S-300 and MAC S-300 automatic packaging machines have various features, providing you with endless benefits like:
- Versatile material integration that’s perfect for cold-forming and thermoforming with and without plug assist
- High-speed, servomotor-driven indexing and tool-less changeover
- Endless functionality options with three to five stations dedicated to forming, sealing, code date, perforating, and die cutting
- An intuitive, PLC-controlled touch screen system with HMI and Ethernet connectivity
- An accurate blister pack leak detection feature that detects pinholes in Alu Alu packaging
- A cutting-edge LIXIS color and LIXIS B/W inspection system
The Custom Blister Tooling Design and Compliance Process
Investing in custom blister tooling designed to meet your specific needs helps boost your production, decreases downtime, and improves end-user satisfaction.
The custom blister tooling design process also ensures that your tooling and machinery are FDA compliant. The FDA packaging compliance requirements note that a controlled substance manufactured in dosage form and intended for oral administration must be packaged according to poison prevention packaging standards.
In summary, the standards state that for blister packs to be FDA compliant, they must continue to function with the defined effectiveness specifications when coming in contact with the contained substance. To satisfy this requirement, designing and manufacturing custom blister tooling is crucial.
Different Types of Blister Tooling
There are different types of blister tooling that you can customize to meet your specific needs, like tablet size and shape, resulting in high-quality blister packs:
- Form dies
- Seal dies
- Guide tracks
- Die cutters
- Perf dies
When you design the right tooling to meet your packaging needs, your automatic packaging machine performs at maximum efficiency, reduces downtime, and produces quality packaging.
Automatic Packaging Machine Compatibility
The right custom tooling manufacturer is dedicated to making sure that your tooling is compatible with your automatic packaging machine, considering its make and model.
From Uhlmann, MAC, Klockner, Noack, and Ministar to IWKA, Blipack, IMA, Bosch, and CAM, there are a variety of models and types on the market—the right blister tooling manufacturer keeps that in mind when designing your tooling.
Whether you have small or medium-sized packaging needs, automatic packaging machines designed with custom blister tooling create an efficient, continuous blister packaging production process. If you have custom tooling in place, your packaging machine is capable of producing blister packaging batches of up to 10,000 packs.
