Which Blister Format Fits Your Product?
A blister packing machine forms a cavity, loads the product, seals the web with a lidding material and cuts the finished pack. The correct platform depends on your barrier requirement and production method—not on the highest catalog speed.
Heated plastic forming web
Common for tablets, capsules and other products where a clear formed cavity is appropriate. Confirm PVC, PVDC-coated PVC, PET or another specified web against your stability and sealing data.
Match material to the barrier study
Alu-PVC combines a formed plastic web with aluminum lidding. Cold-form Alu-Alu is considered when moisture or light protection demands a higher-barrier structure. Your material specification remains the controlling input.
Blister through cartoning
When the project includes inspection, rejection, transfer, leaflet insertion and cartoning, define one line-level acceptance test and every upstream/downstream interface in the URS.

| Feed stroke | 40–240 mm |
| Maximum forming area | 260 × 240 mm |
| Maximum forming depth | 14 mm |
| Power supply / total power | 380 V, 50 Hz / 25 kW reference; confirm the listed 220 V, 60 Hz alternative in the quotation |

Calculate output from the blister layout
A cycle rate is not the finished-pack rate. Your usable output depends on cavities per pack, packs across the web, feed performance, material behavior, inspection and rejection logic, and the agreed sustained operating window.
- Provide a dimensioned blister drawing.
- State product shape, size, weight and fragility.
- Define sustained output and batch duration.
- Confirm electrical frequency before layout approval.
Compare accepted output on one basis
Accepted packs/min = accepted finished packs ÷ total elapsed test minutes.
Use the agreed product, laminate, blister layout and final discharge. Record rejects, stops and staffing; define whether changeovers, cleaning and downstream interruptions are included.

Before quotation
Eight Inputs Your Blister Machine URS Should Lock
A useful quotation starts with controlled inputs. Send these items together so the machine, tooling, inspection and downstream line are sized against the same basis.
1. Product
Product name, dosage form, dimensions, weight, fragility, orientation and samples for a trial.
2. Finished blister
Dimensioned drawing, cavities per pack, pitch, perforation, coding area and acceptable cosmetic criteria.
3. Forming and lidding material
Material construction, thickness, reel width/diameter, print registration and supplier specification.
4. Output basis
Sustained packs or pieces per hour, batch size, shifts, planned OEE basis and permitted rejection method.
5. Inspection and rejection
Missing-product, cap, print, code, seal or vision checks; reject confirmation and batch-record expectations.
6. Line interfaces
Upstream feeder or labeler, downstream cartoner, conveyors, handshakes, accumulation and fail-safe states.
7. Site and utilities
Available floor space, access route, voltage/frequency, compressed air, chilled water, environment and cleanability constraints.
8. Documentation and acceptance
Required DQ/IQ/OQ support, drawings, manuals, certificates, FAT/SAT tests, languages and approval responsibilities.
Validation support
Define the Documentation Package Before the PO
HIJ engineers equipment and project documentation to support your plant’s validation. The customer remains responsible for site approval, qualification strategy, executed records and regulatory submissions.
URS and design review
Agree the intended use, product/material range, controls, alarms, interfaces, data requirements and acceptance tests.
DQ support
Map the agreed design back to the approved URS and record deviations or open items before manufacture proceeds.
FAT and document review
Run agreed samples, challenge critical interlocks and rejection logic, and close the punch list against the approved protocol.
SAT, IQ and OQ support
Confirm installation, utilities, safety, functions and operating ranges using the project-specific protocol scope.
Customer PQ
Your quality unit defines and approves performance qualification under routine site conditions using your products, people and procedures.
Documented engineering functions
Controls That Protect Product Flow and the Process
The functions below are documented on the DPH380B or PBL-400S/400SF sources. They must still be confirmed on the exact machine configuration you purchase.
Material and temperature protection
The source document describes automatic stop on missing PVC or aluminum foil and heating-system cut-off when temperature exceeds the limit.
Servo-controlled motion
The documented platform uses a nine-axis servo drive with servo traction and positioning functions across critical stations.
Inspection and rejection
The PBL project includes forming inspection, product-presence checks and rejection logic. Exact defects, cameras, sensors and reject confirmation belong in your URS.
Format-specific tooling
Forming, sealing and punching parts are designed around the approved blister drawing. Ask for a format-parts list and a witnessed changeover test.
Acceptance before shipment
Use the FAT to Test the Contract, Not a Showroom Demo
Your FAT protocol should convert the URS into observable tests with agreed samples, materials, quantities, evidence and acceptance limits.

Procurement FAQ
Questions to Resolve Before You Approve a Blister Machine
How do I choose the right blister packing machine?
Start with your product, stability data, forming and lidding materials, dimensioned blister drawing, sustained output, inspection requirements and line interfaces. HIJ then calculates a configuration against your URS. Do not select a model from maximum catalog speed alone.
What information does HIJ need for a quotation?
Send product dimensions and samples, the blister drawing or target pack layout, material construction and reel data, required packs or pieces per hour, batch pattern, inspection and rejection needs, site utilities, downstream equipment and the documentation required by your quality unit.
What is the verified speed range of the DPH380B?
The DPH-380B reference technical table specifies 40–180 aluminum-plastic blanking cycles per minute. This is not accepted finished packs per minute, and it does not establish a cold-form Alu-Alu output range. Confirm output from the approved product, materials, blister layout, feeding method and agreed sustained test boundary.
Can HIJ integrate a blister machine with cartoning?
Yes, when integration is defined in the project scope. The documented PBL-400S/400SF project combines tray forming, product loading, inspection, heat sealing, punching, leaflet insertion and cartoning for glass pre-filled syringes and ampoules, with a project target of 8,000 pieces per hour.
Which validation documents are included?
The exact document package is project-specific. Your URS and contract should name the required DQ, IQ, OQ, FAT and SAT protocols, drawings, manuals, certificates, calibration records and software records. HIJ supports the agreed scope; your quality unit owns site approval, execution and PQ.
How much does a blister packing machine cost and what is the lead time?
There is no reliable universal price or lead time. Tooling, feeder design, forming material, output, inspection, controls, documentation and cartoner integration change both. HIJ provides an itemized quotation and project schedule after reviewing your URS, samples and acceptance requirements.
Which blister materials can HIJ machines handle?
Material capability is confirmed by model and project. The DPH-380B document title mentions Alu-PVC and Alu-Alu, while its process description and blanking-speed table primarily describe aluminum-plastic packaging. Confirm any cold-form configuration separately. The documented PBL-400S/400SF project uses PVC/ALU; submit exact forming and lidding specifications for tooling review.
