The challenge
Aluminium-aluminium blister packaging is unforgiving of variation. Sealing temperature, dwell and pressure must be held tightly across the whole track, because the cold-formed aluminium foil cannot be tuned after the fact the way a thermoformed PVC web can.
Machine context

Alu-Alu blister packing machine — sealing and forming stations
Our approach
- 01Application study of sealing behaviour and dwell requirements across the foil track
- 02Closed-loop temperature and pressure control in the PLC programme
- 03Coordinated sequence control across forming, filling and sealing stations
- 04Alarm and interlock strategy to protect product integrity on deviation
- 05Commissioning with format trials before production release
Outcome
- Stable sealing conditions across the full track width
- Documented, repeatable format changeover
- Interlocks that protect product rather than only protecting the machine
- Production released on validated format trials
