cGMP Blister & Strip Packing Machines: Flat-Plate, Rotary & Double-Foil
Compare DPP-80/150/180L/260 flat-plate and rotary Alu-PVC / cold-form Alu-Alu blister machines and SLB-160 double-foil strip packers.
Choosing Flat-Plate Servo vs Rotary Blister vs Double-Foil Strip
Within pharma packing machines, unit-dose cavity equipment divides into flat-plate intermittent (DPP series—superior positive-air forming pressure and dual Alu-PVC / Alu-Alu changeover versatility), roller-plate / continuous rotary (highest speeds up to 250+ blisters/min for dedicated blockbuster SKUs), and SLB-160 heat-seal strip packers (zero cavity stretch for friable or large effervescent tablets).
Servo web indexing with optical print-mark registration aligns pre-printed pharmacy logos directly over each blister pocket without creeping.
Blister & Strip Machine Model Comparison
Published web widths, forming depths, stroke speeds, and utilities:
| Model Class | Max Web Width | Forming Depth | Cycle Speed | Power & Air Spec |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DPP-80 / 150 Compact GMP | 80–150 mm | 12–26 mm | 20–60 strokes/min | 3.0–4.5 kW; 0.5–0.7 MPa |
| DPP-180L / BG-180BP Dual | 180 mm | 12–20 mm Alu / 26 mm PVC | 30–50 Alu / 60 PVC CPM | 6.0 kW; 0.4–0.6 MPa + chiller |
| DPP-260 / Rapid Pack 300 | 250–300 mm (2–4 up) | 15–35 mm deep cavity | 25–70 cycles (120–250 BPM) | 7.5–18 kW; 380V 3Ph |
| SLB-160 Alu Strip Packer | 160 mm twin reels | Pocket seal (no draw) | 60–140 strips/min | 0.08–0.10 mm composite foil |

cGMP Cleanroom & Validation Notes
- Dedicated Servo Track vs Universal Brush Feeders: Brush-box feeders run standard round/oval coated tablets fast, whereas fragile bilayer tablets or two-color capsules benefit from dedicated vibratory chute-and-pick feeders with zero dust abrasion.
- Staggered Zero-Trim Punching: Nested staggered die layouts save 8–14% expensive cold-form aluminum web trim compared to wide rectangular borders.
- Perforation + Embossed Batch Coding: Cold/heated embossing stamps crisp lot and expiry characters directly into blister margins while optional cross-perforations create hospital unit-dose tear squares.
