Alu Alu Blister Packing Machine DPP-320 Cold Forming System

An alu alu blister packing machine is pharmaceutical packaging equipment that cold-forms laminated aluminum foil into cavities at room temperature using mechanical pressure, fills the cavities with tablets or capsules, and seals aluminum lidding foil on top. The resulting Alu-Alu blister provides a near-total barrier against moisture, oxygen, and light, making it the standard format for moisture-sensitive and photosensitive drugs.

The DPP-320 base configuration starts at approximately $32,000–$38,000 USD FOB, depending on specifications. Final pricing depends on tooling complexity, optional features (vision inspection, reject system, PLC brand), documentation level, and shipping terms. For a quote tailored to your URS, contact HIJ with your product dimensions and required output.

Cold forming (Alu-Alu) uses mechanical pressure to form laminated aluminum foil at room temperature, providing a near-total moisture, oxygen, and light barrier. Thermoforming (PVC/PVDC) uses heat to form plastic film, allowing product visibility but offering lower barrier properties. Cold forming is the required choice for moisture-sensitive APIs and tropical climate distribution, while thermoforming runs faster and costs less per blister.

Equipment itself is not GMP certified — GMP certification applies to pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, not machines. The DPP-320 features a cGMP-ready design (separated operating and transmission zones, stainless steel contact surfaces) engineered with reference to WHO GMP TRS 961 Annex 6 equipment guidance, and it is CE-marked and built under an ISO 9001 manufacturing standard. HIJ provides the DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ documentation support your validation team needs to qualify the machine within your own GMP program.

Yes. Every DPP-320 ships with a validation documentation support package: Design Qualification (DQ), Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and Performance Qualification (PQ) protocol templates in English, customizable to your SOP format. Your team executes the qualification on-site; optional remote or on-site support from HIJ engineers is available.

Standard lead time is 45–60 days from deposit, covering manufacturing, internal QC, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) with your product samples, and preparation of the documentation package. Custom tooling adds 15–20 days. HIJ provides production updates and pre-shipment inspection videos throughout.

Yes. The DPP-320 integrates with HIJ blister cartoning machines via PLC handshake protocols for complete blister-to-carton lines. Turnkey configurations — blister packing, cartoning, and case packing under single-source accountability — are a standard HIJ offering.

Choose Alu-Alu when the drug is highly moisture-sensitive (hormones, antibiotics, effervescent tablets), the required shelf life exceeds 24 months, the drug is oxygen- or light-sensitive, or the target market falls in WHO Stability Zone IVa/IVb (hot, humid climates). For standard tablets in temperate markets, PVC or PVDC-coated PVC costs less per blister and runs faster.
