Alu Alu Blister Machine for Effervescent Tablets
Engineered specifically for moisture-sensitive effervescent products. 100% moisture barrier through cold-formed aluminum packaging. WHO GMP, cGMP, and 21 CFR Part 11 compliant.
HIJ Alu Alu Blister Machine — Quick Facts
HIJ Alu-Alu blister packing machines are pharmaceutical cold-forming systems specifically engineered for effervescent tablets, manufactured in Wenzhou, China. Operating at up to 14,000 blisters per hour with 100% moisture barrier protection, HIJ machines comply with WHO GMP TRS 961, cGMP 21 CFR Parts 210/211, and CE Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
Why Effervescent Tablets Demand Alu-Alu Cold Form Packaging
Effervescent tablets are among the most moisture-sensitive pharmaceutical products. A single hour of humidity exposure can trigger premature carbonation reactions, destroying both stability and shelf life. Only alu-alu cold form blister packaging delivers the absolute moisture barrier these products require.
Zero Moisture Vapor Transmission
Alu-alu cold form blister achieves 0 g/m²/day MVTR — the only technology that meets ICH Q1A stability requirements for effervescent products in tropical zones.
Prevents Premature Carbonation
Citric acid + sodium bicarbonate reactions activate at ≥40% RH. Alu-alu blocks 100% humidity, preserving rapid disintegration and active ingredient potency.
Light & Oxygen Barrier
Beyond moisture, alu-alu provides complete light blockage and oxygen barrier — critical for vitamin C, zinc, and electrolyte effervescent formulations.
Tropical Climate Approved
Compliant with Climate Zone IVa/IVb stability requirements for India, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America markets — where humidity exceeds 75% RH.
📊 Packaging Material Comparison for Effervescent Tablets
| Material | MVTR (g/m²/day) | Moisture Barrier | Effervescent OK? |
|---|---|---|---|
| PVC (250μm) | 3.0 | Poor | ❌ No |
| PVC/PVDC (250/40μm) | 0.6 | Moderate | ❌ Insufficient |
| PVC/PVDC (250/120μm) | 0.15 | Good | ⚠ Marginal |
| Alu-Alu Cold Form | 0.00 | Absolute | ✅ Required |
Engineered for Effervescent Tablet Production
Every station of the HIJ alu-alu blister machine is purpose-built for the unique demands of effervescent tablets — gentle handling, deep forming, perfect sealing.
Deep Cold Forming Up to 12mm
Effervescent tablets are typically thicker than standard tablets. HIJ's reinforced cold forming system handles depths up to 12mm without aluminum micro-cracking, preserving 100% barrier integrity.
Gentle Brush-Type Tablet Feeder
Effervescent tablets are friable and break easily. The customized brush feeder gently places each tablet without abrasion, eliminating chipping and ensuring uniform dose delivery.
Heated Roller Sealing System
Precise temperature control (140–180°C) and adjustable pressure ensure perfect aluminum-to-aluminum bonding, creating an unbreakable hermetic seal verified by leak test on every batch.
Vision Inspection & Reject System
Integrated CCD camera detects empty cavities, broken tablets, and sealing defects at production speed. Automatic rejection ensures 100% pack quality compliance with FDA and EU GMP audits.
Servo-Driven Indexing Precision
Festo and Siemens servo motors provide ±0.05mm positioning accuracy. Perfect alignment between forming, filling, sealing, and cutting stations — even at 14,000 blisters/hour.
21 CFR Part 11 Audit Trail
Complete electronic batch records with electronic signatures, role-based access control, and tamper-evident logs. Full FDA, EMA, and PMDA inspection ready out of the box.

📋 WHO GMP Requirements for Effervescent Tablet Packaging Equipment
According to WHO Technical Report Series No. 961, Annex 6, pharmaceutical packaging equipment for moisture-sensitive products such as effervescent tablets must meet five specific requirements:
- Material Compliance — Product contact surfaces must be stainless steel 316L or equivalent inert material
- Barrier Validation — Packaging must demonstrate 0 g/m²/day MVTR through validated leak testing
- Documentation — Complete equipment qualification records (DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ) per Annex 15
- Calibration — All temperature, pressure, and timing instruments within calibration schedule
- Change Control — Documented procedures for all equipment modifications
HIJ Machinery designs every alu-alu blister machine to these standards. The complete validation documentation package is provided with every machine delivery — no hidden charges, no incomplete protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about alu-alu blister machines for effervescent tablets.
Effervescent tablets are extremely moisture-sensitive. Even trace humidity triggers premature carbonation reactions, degrading active ingredients and causing tablet swelling. Alu-alu cold form blister packaging provides a 100% moisture vapor barrier (0 g/m²/day MVTR) that PVC and PVDC cannot match, making it the only compliant option for effervescent products under WHO and ICH stability guidelines. Contact [email protected] for material specifications.
HIJ Alu-Alu blister machine produces up to 14,000 blisters per hour with effervescent tablet formats. Punch frequency reaches 75 cycles/min depending on blister cavity layout.
