Chapter 1: Blister packing machine overview Chapter 2: Working principle of blister packing machine Chapter 3: Types of blister packing machine based on             Operation Method             Technology (Packing Material Used) Chapter 4: Main parts of blister packing machine Chapter 5: Materials used in the blister packaging process Chapter 6: Quality parameters checking of blister packing machine Chapter 7: Troubleshooting of common problems, which occurs during operation Chapter 8: Factors you need to consider while importing a blister packing machine Chapter 9: Merits and demerits of blister packing machine CHAPTER 1 Blister Packing Machine Blister packing machine is equipment, which consists of stationary (non-movable), and moving components. These components aid to seal final products in the pockets or cavities. By doing several mechanical steps, it forms pockets or cavities on forming material fills the pockets or cavities and covers them with a fitting material. Hence it assists with setting up the medicine and nutraceutical items for safe conveyance. Reading further this guide, you will learn the features of this machine, which can enhance productivity in Chapter 4. CHAPTER 2 Working principle of Blister packing machine You have taken the blister packing machine overview in Chapter 1. Now after reading you must be thinking that How does this machine work? How various parts of this machine work together? Well, that is what you are going to learn in this chapter. For your ease, only the general working principle is covered in this guide. Now let’s start! The machine works on the rotary sealing principle. This film is moving ahead from a reel and enters in a blister forming unit where the film is softened by heat and forms blisters, then the filling process starts, and after filling the package in blisters, sealing part of the machine sealed the blisters. At the end printing of batch number, start in the printing section and the blistering process complete. The above summary of the working principle consists of 06 steps. Let us briefly go through all these steps. Step 1: Turning on the machine As you turn on the machine, you will notice that feeding rollers and other parts of the machine start moving. At this stage, the forming film moves to the first stage. Step 2: Heating Station Processing Thermoforming blister packing machine includes this heat-processing unit. At this stage, the machine starts to heat the forming film to the desired temperature until it is soft enough to form cavities. The set temperature is always base on the type of forming material you are using. Step 3: Film Cavities Forming In the third step, two mechanisms are used to form desire cavities i.e. compressed air or die plates. These cavities form the blister packing machine will cool down these cavities to give them a rigid shape. Step 4: Product filling and Empty cavities checking In this stage, the blister packing machine will fill the cavities with the final product. The filling step will be either manual or automatic, which totally depends on the type of machine you have selected. You know that aluminum is opaque (you cannot see through) in nature so it is mandatory to look for empty cavities. Therefore, this empty pocket detector is placed at the end of the filling station. Step 5: Blister Sealing At this stage, the filled cavities are ready for sealing. To seal the blister lidding material is used. It is very important for a machine that lidding material is in place timely as forming film reaches the sealing station. Moving further the lidding material cover the fill cavities. The heat-sealing station comes next which seals the product in the cavities. To make sure that sealing is up to the mark both high temperature and pressure are applied. Step 6: Printing & trimming of product This is the last step of blister packing. The seal pack moves to the next stage i.e. printing station. At this point machine, emboss the set message in it. After that machine, push forward the blister pack to the cutting or trimming station. This trimmer trims it into desire units. The leftover lidding and forming material is rolled into a scrap collector. CHAPTER 3: Types of blister packing machine Dear readers, it is very important for you to know about various types of blister packing machines. As you have already study about its overview and its working principle in chapter 1 and 2 now we will discuss its various types. It is also very important for you to know every machine’s technical specifications which you will read in Chapter 12. Without wasting any time now let us dig into it. There are several ways to classify these machines. However, in this guide, you will learn about the types based on their operation and the packing material used. There are the following three types of packing machines based on their operation Thermoforming Blister Packing Machine            Thermoforming
