Parenteral packaging lines
BLU 200

The BLU 200 is a blister packaging line for secondary packaging of parenteral products, such as syringes, ampoules, vials, cartridges, bottles, and pens. Increasingly small parenteral product batches mean there is an increasing need for cost-efficient packaging as well as product-friendly handling. Both these challenges can be met by combining blister machine BLU 200 with cartoner C 200.

Flexible entry model for the secondary packaging of parenteral products

Gentle product handling and top performance

Blister machine BLU 200 is ideal for the packaging of small and medium-sized batches of parenteral products. The modular concept of the compact blister machine allows maximum packaging flexibility. The option of various feeding systems and efficient use of the entire width of the web lead to optimum machine output. Furthermore, the highly reliable process of the Blister machine BLU 200 offers gentle product handling, easy cleaning, and fast format changeovers, as well as user-friendly operation. All these factors contribute to the particularly high economic efficiency of the BLU 200.

A packaging process that handles parenteral products with utmost care pays off because every instance of damage leads to extensive cleaning, extra work, and longer downtimes. Gentle handling during the entire packaging process of the BLU 200 protects the glass products against breakage. The low drop height during blister removal is one feature in this context.

The BLU 200 is complemented by the Cartoner C 200. This covers the complete format and output range of the blister machine and handles large blisters at an output of 120 cartons per minute, as well as small ones at a maximum speed of 200 cartons per minute.

BLU 200 in focus

Integrated forming material reel carrier: Efficient as long running time without reel changeover due to dual forming reel unwind and combined cutting and splicing table.

Heating and forming station: The heating and forming station of the blister packaging machine BLU 200 has three heating zones. These allow the gradual heating of the forming material to the specified forming temperature for the respective type of film.

Variable feeding system: Various feeding systems for vials, ampoules, or syringes can be integrated. Other products can also be fed manually.

Product control and sealing station: Real-time inspection system monitors product presence, color, and length, color code ring, or label presence. Consistent process times ensure particularly reliable sealing – even at varying machine speeds.

Punching station and transfer: Careful punching for product protection aided by vacuum-assisted blister lowering.

Transfer: The direct, integrated, and compact blister transfer to the product transport of the cartoner only forwards perfect blisters. Partially filled or empty blisters are separated. If required, the blisters can be rotated 90° for direct placement into the product transport.

Product transport, leaflet feeder, and loading: Integrated brochure feeder and leaflet folder. Optional double product loading using a dual loader for increased cartoner output.

SmartControl operating system: Intuitive user guidance through all production processes.

BLU 200 + C 200: Blister line BLU 200 with combined feeder for ampoules, vials, and syringes.

Parenteral Packaging: Line with BLU 200 + C 200 + S 500 + ECP 12 including medical device tracking, serialization, and aggregation.
