Blister packaging for solid dosage forms

Optimize your packaging line with high-speed, continuous blister packaging that ensures superior sealing and precise inspection, ideal for handling a wide range of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products like tablets, capsules, and vials.

Packages and Seals Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms

The CARTOBLIS from ACG is a cutting-edge rotary blister packaging machine engineered to streamline the packaging of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical dosage forms like tablets, capsules, ampoules, vials, and syringes. Utilizing vacuum-based rotary thermoforming technology with a unique single-drum system, it delivers superior blister quality and minimizes foil wastage. The machine ensures a continuous, high-speed process with an output of up to 6.5 m/min, integrating seamlessly with cartoning systems for full automation of the blister-cartoning operation. Compatible with forming materials like PVC and Triplex, the CARTOBLIS offers flexibility in packaging configurations, allowing deep cavities up to 28 mm. It meets GMP standards, making it an ideal solution for regulated industries, and features a user-friendly design that facilitates quick changeovers and efficient maintenance.

Benefits
