At WestPack 2009, Uhlmann Packaging Systems (Towaco, NJ) demonstrated its B1240, a compact blister machine designed for flexible medium-speed packaging lines. The smallest machine in the Uhlmann family of machines, the B1240 can be equipped with virtually any feeder to package tablets, capsules, ampules, vials, cartridges, syringes, and even powder when used with a powder-dosing unit. Given its size, it is especially suited for clinical trial packaging runs and biotech products. It can deep draw polymers as well as cold-form all-aluminum blisters.
In this video (below) shot at WestPack, Paul Bick, regional sales manager for Uhlmann, walks through the machine, detailing how innovative station positioning gives the machine a small footprint. He also explains the addition of an onboard Hapa flexographic system for printing lidstock in UV-curable ink.
Multiple sensors can added to inspect for product presence or defects as well as print and package quality. The sensors work together to ensure what Uhlmann calls the Good Pack Only philosophy.
According to Uhlmann, setup of the B1240 is straightforward, and formats can be changed over quickly using small, lightweight tools. The computer-guided machine stores all recipes and production data.
