The Importance of Blister Packaging

Blister packaging is widely used In the pharmaceutical industry, it can ensure the drug sealed sterile, accurate dosage; in the food industry, it can lock freshness, prevent pollution, extend the shelf life; in the electronics industry, it protects against static and electromagnetic damage; in the cosmetics industry, it protects skin care products and makeup from damage.
Its advantages include strong protection from external damage, customized grooves and anti-counterfeiting labels to prevent counterfeiting, transparent materials to facilitate display of products, but also to adapt to automated production lines, improve efficiency and reduce costs. It is an essential practical packaging option for many industries.

The Basic Composition and Classification of Blister Packaging Machines

The blister packing machine’s main structure includes: forming system, filling system, heat sealing system, batch number/printing, punching system, and control system.

Core Working Principle

Thermoforming Principle

Plastic film is heated and softened→. Mold negative pressure/positive pressure molding→ Form a bubble cavity.

Parameter Details PVC PET Remarks
Heat Temperature Upper forming mold 120-150℃ 160-180℃ Excessive temperature can cause aging, while too low a temperature results in an incomplete shape.
Down forming mold 60-110℃ 80-120℃ Auxiliary heating to prevent rapid crystallization due to excessive cooling
Heat sealing temperature 100-140℃ 120-150℃ Match the melting point of the aluminum foil adhesive layer, for leak-proof sealing / to prevent scorching
Forming Pressure Positive pressure forming 0.3-0.5MPa 0.4-0.6MPa Uneven pressure can easily cause the blister to break / Uneven thickness can also lead to this problem.
Cooling Time Cooling 1-3second 1.5-3.5second Insufficient cooling causes the bubble cap to deform, and excessive length reduces efficiency.

Heat Sealing Principle

In the heat-press sealing process of aluminum foil / composite film with PVC/PVDC base film, the sealing temperature must match the melting point of the film material.

The pressure should ensure the adhesion between the films, and the time should guarantee a complete bond. The three elements need to be precisely matched: if the temperature is too low, the pressure is insufficient, or the time is too short, the seal will be unstable.

If the temperature is too high or the time is too long, the film material may be damaged. Only when the three elements are balanced can a stable and reliable sealing strength be achieved.

 

Punching And Output

Integrated design for die-cutting accuracy, waste material recovery, and finished product waste disposal.

Common Questions and Maintenance Suggestions

Common Faults: Poor Sealing, Uneven Molding, Jamming of Materials

Common faults frequently occur in blister packaging production: Poor sealing can lead to loose seals and leakage of liquid or gas. Uneven shaping can cause the blister shape to deform. Material jamming will directly halt the production line. All these problems will affect product quality and production efficiency.

Daily  Maintenance: Mold Cleaning, Heating Plate Calibration, Air Path Inspection

The daily maintenance of the blister packaging machine is of vital importance: Regularly cleaning the molds to prevent residues from affecting the molding process, calibrating the heating plates to ensure precise temperature, and inspecting the air path to guarantee stable air pressure can effectively reduce malfunctions and extend the equipment’s lifespan.
