The Press-Out Manual deblistering machine can be set up for any product in 2 minutes, according to its manufacturer. Blister packages are placed onto a guide plate and fed through a set of rollers with the turn of a handle. Up to 20 blister packages per minute can be processed. Automatic machines are also available. The 8SC1216 operates at 24 cycles per minute and has four product load stations.
Optional feeders are available for cards and inserts.
Outboard reloading for all feeder stations, push-button controls, and automatic startup make the machine simple to operate. A compact blister-filling machine has a small footprint so that it fits into a small workspace. The MB420 thermoformer offers an automatic product-checking feature that ejects blisters with empty cavities. Thermoforming material can be spliced automatically without stopping the machine. Options include a printer, video camera, water cooling unit, and linear or cross perforation.
