Description
A blister sealer or packing machine is a type of packaging equipment used to create blister packs, which are plastic packages used to enclose and protect products. The blister sealer uses heat and pressure to seal the product between a pre-formed plastic blister and a backing card, creating a tamper-evident and visually appealing package. Blister packaging is commonly used in the pharmaceutical, medical, and consumer goods industries to package products such as pills, tablets, capsules, and small electronic items.
The usage of a blister sealer/packing machine involves several steps, including:
- Product loading: The product to be packaged is loaded onto the blister sealer. This can be done manually or using an automatic feeding system.
- Blister forming: The blister sealer heats and molds the plastic material into the desired shape, creating a cavity for the product.
- Product placement: The product is placed into the cavity of the blister.
- Sealing: The backing card is placed over the blister and the blister sealer applies heat and pressure to create a seal around the product, forming a tamper-evident and visually appealing package.
Blister sealers/packing machines are used in a variety of applications, including:
- Pharmaceutical packaging: Blister packs are commonly used to package pills, tablets, and capsules in the pharmaceutical industry. Blister packaging protects the product from moisture, air, and other external factors, ensuring the product’s safety and efficacy.
- Medical device packaging: Blister packs are also used in the medical device industry to package small medical devices, such as syringes, needles, and catheters.
- Consumer goods packaging: Blister packs are used to package a variety of consumer goods, including small electronic items such as batteries and memory cards, as well as toys, jewelry, and other small items.
Overall, blister sealers/packing machines are an efficient and reliable way to create tamper-evident and visually appealing packaging for a variety of products. They are widely used in the pharmaceutical, medical, and consumer goods industries to protect products and ensure their safety and quality.
