Blister Packaging Equipment

<span style="font-weight: 400">At last, you reached the final stage of processing your product - welcome to the packing world! Packing preserves and protects a product from damage, spoilage, and contamination while it makes its way from the production line to the consumer or further production. Depending on which industry your products belong to, the type of primary packaging equipment can change drastically. You need to pay careful attention to products with </span><span style="font-weight: 400">chemicals or hazardous substances since they can be potentially dangerous to human health. </span>

Packing

Thermoforming

Among all dosage forms in use today, tablets constitute the most common one. They are pharmaceutical solid dosage forms containing active ingredients and excipients such as diluents, binders, glidants, and lubricants. Using tablet making equipment, these solid dosage forms are made by compression of granules or powder blends and then shaped by molding.

Tablets

When thinking about blister packaging equipment, pharmaceutical products such as capsules or tablets are the first things that come to mind. Blister packs are used to protect pharmaceutical products from humidity and contamination and to extend their shelf life. However, they are also used for food items or consumer goods such as toys. There are two main methods and packaging solutions on which blister machines are based. Thermoforming heats PVC sheets in batches which are then pressed into blister machines to give them the desired shape. Cold forming doesn’t involve any heat and uses aluminum-based laminate film instead of PVC film.

Batch

As a manufacturer of medical device, the packaging is a critical factor in preventing the product from damage. Conducting forming and sealing of blisters in the same tool and in the same work cycle, decreases the chances of product contamination as well as saves time.


<h2>Forming and sealing blister packaging in the same cycle</h2>
The Universal by Tommy Nielsen is a semi-automatic blister packaging machine that can form and seal the blister in the same cycle. It is suitable for consumer products, medical device, hardware pieces, stationery products, and pharmaceutical products like syringes, tablets, and capsules etc.

Plastic film, PVC, PETG, or APET cut or punched to size are placed into the combined forming/sealing tool. The blister is thermos formed in mold, the product placed into the blister and then sealed together with the lid (TYVEK, Sterile paper, cardboard, aluminum or plastic) – all in the same cycle.

Depending on the model, the machine can handle packaging sizes up to 1.500mm. With the Universal 301-FS, the 301-FSX and the larger Universal 501-FS and 501-FSX it is possible to obtain a high level of flexibility. The machines are suitable for packaging jobs varying from a few packings up to 500.000 pcs./year based on 1600 hours. Normally you can form/seal 300-600 pcs. per hour – some times more. It all depends on the size, the complexity and the number of items per blister.

Chewable tablets are suitable for patients who have difficulty swallowing. Chewable tablet formulation masks the natural flavors of pharma drugs and alters their aftertaste. But besides the taste, chewable tablets favor the bioavailability of pharmaceutical ingredients.

Chewable tablets

The fizz of effervescent tablets is commonly associated with a vitamin C boost. But the soluble pill is an excellent drug delivery method for pediatric and geriatric patients. Sometimes referred to as carbon tablets, manufacturing effervescent tablets binds biocarbonate and citric acid that produce the smooth hiss as they dissolve in liquid.

Effervescent tablets

When taking a tablet, it is usually the job of our stomach to break down the medication to make it ready to be absorbed into the bloodstream. However, some drugs are not meant to be dissolved in the stomach because the acidic pH of the stomach can disintegrate the drug, making it no longer effective. Using tablet coating equipment that applies a polymer barrier to the tablet makes it possible to protect it from stomach acidity.

Enteric Coated Tablets

The two-piece capsule is a visual shorthand for all types of medical remedies. Advances in technology have made the production of hard-gelatin capsules a convenient delivery method for drugs and other ingested substances. But the simple solution requires micrometric precision to be manufactured to the proper pharmaceutical standards.

Hard gelatin capsules

The nonproprietary name for HPMC – hydroxypropyl methylcellulose – is such a mouthful that it has two abbreviations. Hypromellose is the other one. The non-ionized material offers a safe alternative to gelatin capsules, especially as most common API and excipients are suitable HPMC capsule ingredients.

HPMC capsules

Insulin is a hormone that controls blood glucose levels produced by the beta cells in the pancreas. As a medication, insulin was discovered by Frederick Banting and Charles Best in 1921, for which Banting was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1923. The insulin production process involves manipulating the biological precursor to insulin and cultivating it inside bacteria using specialized technology.

Choosing efficient, fast and specialty medical devices manufacturing equipment is just one of the steps involved in their production. From ideation to execution, producers need to mind the devices’ quality and comply with strict regulations, for example the FDA in the United States, integrated within the healthcare environment. And don’t forget to think about customer-centered, convenient, updated and accessible solutions.

Multilayer tablets are a popular fixed-dose combination (FDC) offering a range of release profiles for effective drug delivery. Multilayer tablet technology solves challenges to API consistency, allowing manufacturers to develop formulations from incompatible ingredients while optimizing the release profile for immediate release and controlled release.

Multi-layer tablets

Fish oil was a folk remedy long before scientists identified the nutritional value of essential fatty acids. But Omega 3 processing has come a long way since the days of raw fish parts fermenting in a barrel. In fact, new supplement formulations of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may not use fish at all.

Omega 3 oil

The word parenteral comes from Greek and means outside the intestine (para=outside and enteron=intestine). In fact, when it comes to parenterals, we are referring to those dosage forms that are administered directly into the bloodstream using a hypodermic needle, avoiding going through the gastrointestinal tract. Using parenteral filling equipment, parenteral solutions are placed in containers such as vials, syringes, or ampoules.

Parenterals

Pharmaceutical cartridges are glass containers of cylindrical shape, suitable for liquid or solid pharmaceutical dosage forms. Generally, these are designed for a specific apparatus such as pre-filled syringes and autoinjectors. Drugs that can be placed in cartridges using a pharmaceutical cartridge filling equipment include insulin, dental anesthesia, and other emergency drugs for allergies.

Pharmaceutical cartridges

Softgel capsules fast-track the delivery of medication to the bloodstream. Unlike solid pills, they do not need to be broken down by the body before the drugs can be absorbed. Moreover, they are optimal vehicles for oils and fat-soluble formulations that cannot be compressed into tablets.

Softgel capsules

Suppositories consist of active pharmaceutical ingredients encased in a non-active base material. The sustained release of medication makes suppositories a preferred option for the long-term treatment of chronic conditions like diabetes, anemia, and AIDS.

It is strange how two tablets can belong to the same but at the same time to a different category depending on how the tablet itself is classified. For example, chewable tablets and effervescent tablets have two different routes of administration but both belong to the category of uncoated tablets. Uncoated tablets are prepared by compression of granules in which no coating is added after compression. They may be single-layer or multi-layer tablets.

Uncoated tablets

There are slight differences between human and animal pharmaceuticals, but that dissimilarity is enough to create new production challenges. Veterinary tablets formulation reflects the diversity of enzymes that different species use to break down substances. Although the methods involved are comparable to human drug manufacturing, equipment and processes need to adapt to a wider dosage variability in veterinary tablets.
