Uhlmann Packaging Systems introduces Blister Express Center 700
Uhlmann Packaging Systems LP (uhlmannpackaging.com), a worldwide leader in pharmaceutical packaging, has introduced the Blister Express Center (BEC) 700, a combination blister and cartoning module that can produce up to 700 blisters and 500 cartons per minute. The new blister line can operate on as many as three lanes, and its cartoner module offers two output categories: cartons up to 105x105x155mm can be processed at 300 per minute, while formats up to 80x90x155 mm can be produced at 500 per minute.
The BEC 700 is the latest in Uhlmann’s widely successful Blister Express Center range, which includes the BEC 300 and BEC 500 blister lines. With each machine in the BEC Series, key benefits derive from the relatively small number of format parts – allowing for tool-free changeovers in just 30 minutes – and a compact, easy-to-clean design. Still, the BEC 700 is the “biggest sister” of the trio, promising 40 percent higher output compared to the BEC 500 primarily due to an additional operating lane. The BEC 700’s modular design also allows for a broader selection of configurations: users can choose between three types of feeders and two sealing principles – continuous motion rotary or intermittent motion platen.
