This company, which specializes in tube fillers, cartoners and blister pack machines, will highlight its new BP Series of BlisterPack machines at Pack Expo 2004, Booth # S-1213/1512 in the South Building at McCormick Place in Chicago, November 7-11.Designed to provide pharmaceutical manufacturers with enhanced convenience, ease of operation, and regulatory compliance, the BP Series offers built in advanced technology highlighted by servo-drive performance, balcony-style design and a positive transfer system.The balcony style design of the BP Series separates the mechanics of the machines from the drives, according to the manufacturer, eliminating product clogs caused by particulate generation and dust. Unlike electronically synchronized alternatives, the BP Series is driven by independent servos that enable the adjustment of individual process times without affecting the rest of the stations, its manufacturer claims.In addition, the BP Series’ positive transfer system ensures that blisters are always guided, transported through the machine in a continuous controlled fashion to eliminate the potential for jamming. BP Series machines can package up to 600 blisters per minute, and are available in either intermittent or continuous motion models.
