Automatic Deblister Machine

1. Processing power matching

The primary principle of model selection is the matching of equipment processing capacity with actual demand. The calculation formula is:

Required processing capacity = average daily rework volume ÷ effective working time ÷ equipment utilization rate (recommended 70%)

Ví dụ, a pharmaceutical factory needs to process 8,000 blisters per day. Based on an 8-hour work system, the required equipment processing capacity should be:

8000÷8÷0.7≈1429 boards/hour≈24 boards/minute

For export-oriented companies, it is recommended to consider an additional 15-20% capacity redundancy to cope with the increase in processing volume that may come with changes in EU regulations.

2. Material and drug compatibility

• Packaging materials : Aluminumplastic composite panels are suitable for most models; aluminum aluminum packaging requires a reinforced blade and a higher pressure roller system; recycled plastic packaging containing PCR is recommended to choose a dedicated model

• Drug characteristics :
  • Fragile items (such as sugar-coated tablets): Choose a PU roller model with elastic cushioning
  • Viên nang mềm: require a specially customized low-pressure separation device
  • Small size (such as tablets below 5mm): Negative pressure assisted collection system should be equipped

3. Maintenance and operating costs

• Life of wearing parts : The blade can usually process 50,000-80,000 packs, and the PU roller life is about 100,000 packs. The replacement cycle and cost need to be calculated.

• Energy consumption index : Automatic equipment power is generally 0.5-1.5kW, and power consumption needs to be evaluated during continuous operation. New energy-saving models can reduce energy consumption by more than 30%, meeting the green requirements of PPWR.

• Maintenance requirements : Choose modular design equipment, các thành phần chính (such as gearboxes, cảm biến) should be easy to replace

Phần kết luận

As a key piece of equipment in pharmaceutical blister packing machine quality management systems, the selection of a deblister machine not only impacts production efficiency but also directly impacts drug quality, sự an toàn, and environmental compliance. Driven by regulations like the EU PPWR, equipment selection has evolved from a simple performance consideration to a three-dimensional decision-making process encompassing efficiency, chất lượng, and environmental compliance.

Companies should select the most appropriate equipment model based on their specific needs, taking into account processing capacity, compliance requirements, operating costs, và khả năng mở rộng trong tương lai. During the selection process, it is recommended to prioritize field testing and assess the supplier’s technical capabilities, particularly verifying its processing capabilities for new, environmentally friendly packaging materials. By building an efficient rework solution encompassing the three pillars of “thiết bị, process, and personnel,” this solution can meet current production needs while adapting to future developments in packaging technology and environmental regulations.
