The ‘P’ in Pharmaceuticals probably stands for protection or perseverance. Protection of the people using the medicines and perseverance of the drug itself, from invasive elements like sunlight, moisture, and pathogens. This brings us to one of the essential factors of blister packaging of pills and capsules.
Pharmaceutical packaging must be perfect and high paced. When you’re dealing with illnesses and diseased individuals in a naturally changing world, ensuring that your medicine is available at ready for the consumers is essential. So, with the ideal material like PVC, a blister packaging machine like the Accupack- Velocity V-300® can provide greater efficiency.
The properties of medicinal drugs make them highly prone to contamination if it meets elements outside its packaging. Hence, making sure that your fast-paced blister machine is also efficient in protection. So how do you make sure that you’re getting that production value for your medicinal drugs?
Knowing the ideal Materials to Use for Blister Packaging
Pharmaceutical packaging is the only way to enable medicine transportation to the ill. And there are illnesses where there are people. Hence, the packaging is the only way between cure and collapse itself. Anyone alive to have an infected pill would be very unlucky.
So, it brings us to encapsulation of granules and/or pressed pills. Now, most western states have been using bottled pills and capsules. This is not the case in most Asian and European states. The Asian continent is an expanse of land, but to be facilitative in areas of terrain or in times of emergency overseas. Where probable land or seaway transportation would be rough weather for pills and capsules, especially those packed in pop can bottles.
Blister packaging material should have the following safety regulation to protect the medicine from atmospheric changes and contamination through damage-
- It must not be reactive with the agents used to make the drug or capsule material
- The packaging material must not have odour or vapours that mix with the drug(since packaging uses a certain but non-invasive amount of heat)
- The blister making material and lid materials shall be non-toxic
- The material should be approved by Asian and EU Health authorities
- Blister material should be fit on the tamper resistance standards
- Lastly, it must be adaptable to a high-speed blister packaging and lidding system like the Velocity V-300® Blister packaging machine.
Packaging material for pills and capsules are supposed to sustain through a time of months. Until the medicine goes from the forming tray to the patient’s system. This then brings us to the value of time. Pills are required in number by one person while millions are developing or will develop issues. Readying medicine supply should be anything but time-consuming. The safety of time can only be achieved by blister packaging equipment with speed to throw out pills with the required velocity.
Choosing the perfect Blister Packaging Machine
A small medicine production plant or factory must be enough to produce at least five hundred thousand pills a day. It will surely not be enough in the long run if the medicine is working wonders.
A Fast yet Efficient Equipment
This is where the compact design of the Velocity V-300® can help you bring in more production rate for your time. Its compact European design is built to provide the best efficiency and cost control. Not only does the equipment fall in perfectly with EU safety standards, but it also provides added safety to keep the feeder and material errors in check. It does so with the Servo mechanics that are inbuilt and ensure accuracy for your blister is on point.
With an ultra-compact line length of 3 meters, you are sure to add up numbers to your pill production rate, employing multiple lines at once. In times where, most compact blister machines with lowest change over time offer a higher OEE for small batch productions with ease for blister shapes for different products, the Velocity V-300 can be ideal at tight working hours, providing upto 300 blisters per minute.
Lesser Maintenance and Operator Friendly
A machine that is easily adaptable for human operation is always advantageous. It’s another way to make the packaging process efficient and eliminate human errors. It was built with simple operational settings and quicker changeovers because maintenance becomes a time-consuming task that employs more people, thus increasing costs.
The easy maintenance and operator-friendly design of the Velocity V-300® make it the perfect blister packaging equipment for pharmaceuticals that are high in demand. The small and light format parts cGMP compliant design makes it easy to clean and maintain. The equipment is designed to have low life-cycle costs and has fitting for remote serviceability. However, the tool-less changeover system was designed to reduce wear over time.
So, with a machine that can work efficiently and fast with blister and lid materials like PVC and Aluminium, can truly upturn your value for investment. It will also provide a better resource and asset management to give you more time to build the reach to your consumers.
