Date: 15-09-2022

Pharmaceutical packaging is an essential component of pharmaceutical products.

 

The pharmaceutical packaging industry faces numerous challenges due to the sensitive nature of products. Inappropriate packaging can cause chemical changes in the product, reducing its curative ability and effectiveness. As a result, the pharmaceutical industry is subjected to strictly enforced packaging regulations and frequently faces a variety of challenges.

The pharmaceutical industry is constantly changing and moving ahead. In response to clinical needs, we see new formulations for higher efficiency and alternative user-friendly forms, complemented by packaging design, materials, and technology advancements in packaging design, supplies, and systems. In this article, we will give you a detailed view of different types of packing machines that serve as a solution for medicine tablet packing.

 

Features and Applications of Tablet Packaging Machines

Strip Packaging Machine

 

A high-speed machine, suitable for a variety of products such as tablets, dragees, or capsules. Machines are structurally sound and well-built, and they generally provide high quality by employing precise temperature control and the ability to apply variable pressure to the sealing rollers.

Coating heat sealable films such as polymer-coated aluminum foil, cellophane, and polymer-coated paper are best suited for a strip packaging machine. The machine's key features are as follows:

• Standard interchangeable parts are available.
• The cutting arrangements can be changed.
• Parts can be changed quickly and effortlessly to accommodate different product types.
• Exact knurling (sealing rollers)
• The operation is smooth and silent.
• Compact - occupies tiny floor space
• The coating that's also tough and corrosion-resistant.

 

(a) High-Speed Tablet Strip Machine –

 

A fully automatic highly versatile machine, frequently used for packaging products in bulk, can be outfitted with a pinhole device, a film feeding system that is easily adjustable, and an adjustable conveyor table. It can meet the requirements of various products.

• Containing plated Teflon, which is heat resistant and results in excellent sealing without the film melting and affecting local air.
• It is easily configured for both horizontal and vertical feed and can be assembled for either.
• The waste film is automatically collected.
• Packaging with different product sizes is also simple because the operating conditions can be easily adapted. It is not required to change the packaging molds manually.
• The APID controller is used to set operating parameters like temperature, which are digitally set and recorded.
• The sealing temperature is incredibly precise and simple to set.

 

(b) Automatic/Soft Double Aluminium Strip Packaging Machine –

 

This machine is ideal for packaging goods that require two sheets of aluminum foil, such as candies, foodstuffs, tablets, and pills. The equipment can operate without light and thus fulfills the requirement for sensitive products that cannot endure light exposure.

Ideal for heat sealing products with aluminum to aluminum foil.

• Also appropriate for plastic-to-plastic sealing.
• The machine performs functions such as cutting margin scrap, damaged piece filtration, and material feeding automatically. Batch number printing, in addition to transverse impressing, can be automated.
• It can be fully programmed using a programmable logic controller (PLC).
• Both the cutting speed and the travel range are fully adjustable.
• Provides accurate feeding, complete functionality, easy operation, closed sealing, and stable performance.
• Can improve the appearance of the product item and increase its durability
• Ideal for pharmaceutical firms.

 

(c) Automatic Al/Al Packaging Machine and Foil Strip Packaging Machine

 

• Used in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and related industries for sealing products and items between two sheets of aluminum foil.
• Packages can be both air and light-tight  Items can be sealed between two plastic films.
• There are numerous automatic functions available, including fracture screening, vertical pressing, vibration feeding, excess removal, lot number printing, and even horizontal screening.
• Ideal for hot sealing with two layers of aluminum foil.

 

(d) High-Quality Tablet Strip Packing Machine

 

• The best machines allow for simple and quick bag/pouch size changes.
• Date printing by hot stamping is available.
• The cutter is guarded by a cover, that enhances safety.
• The touch-screen provides monitoring and control.
• There are numerous dosing systems available for various food items.
• The machine has a different dosing system, and the VFH series can pack various tablet varieties, capsules, liquid food products, powder, product filling, data printing to finished bag output, and plastic bag forming automatically.

 

(e) Rotary Type Tablet Strip

 

• HCI is available for parameter setting.
• Self-checking capability
• Sensitivity to color code tracking, digitizing, and accurate sealing and cutting
• Temperature is controlled by an independent PID.
• No sticking knives, and a well-placed stop setting
• System of simple power transmission
• Reliability and ease of upkeep
• Simple function adjustment, technological advancement, and dependability
• Ideal for a wide range of objects including medicine, paper boxes, daily appliances, and pallets.

 

Blister Packaging Machine

 

This machine is perfect for packaging medical products in blister packs manufactured of polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, and polypropylene.

 

(a) Automatic Strip Blister Packaging –

 

Strips tablet or capsule packaging

• The vibration feeder and crisp remover can effectively remove powder and crisps from medicine.
• Perforation on the horizontal
• Slitting with auto-counting waster-side cutting
• The batch number is printed automatically.
• The heat pressing cam's diameter can be adjusted from 110 to 140mm.
• The material-controlling cam rotates at the same speed as the heat-pressing cam. The cams equilibrium is equivalent to the heat pressing cam's medicament nest.
• Punch utilizes a PLC program and an electronic checking signal. It can alter the granules at any time, making it easier to change plates without having to replace the molds.
• Cursor tracking, registering plate, and inking wheel printer can be added to give the product a uniform appearance with clearly stamped digit numbers.

 

(b) PVC Blister Packaging –

 

• It is great for packaging liquids or solids.
• Blister packaging protects the contents from dust and heat while also enhancing its value. Blister packaging is used for huge volumes as well as product lines.

The most important function of pharmaceutical packaging is obviously product protection. Pharmaceutical products must be protected from harmful effects caused by the environment. When exposed to the atmosphere, moisture, or light, many formulations become unstable, and protection from these factors is required to ensure that the medicines remain efficient and safe. Pharma Packaging also provides other benefits that improve consumer experiences.

As a result, these machines are critical in the pharmaceutical industry, where a product can be filled in a variety of containers. A variety of machines are likely to be used on the production line. This will include any of the above filling machines capable of filling appropriate size tablets into the appropriate size and type of bottle or container. In addition, an inspection machine will be included to remove any faulty capsules.
