Pharma packaging

Overview

Blister packaging machines and filling plants

In packaging plants of the pharmaceutical industry, polymer products from igus are used from the dosing station up to the labelling unit.
Regardless of whether this involves the blister packaging of tablets or the filling of pharmaceutical bottles: The bearing technology must always meet the highest hygienic standards and thus, for example, function reliably in maintenance-free dry operation without the use of lubricants.

Used products and application examples

Below, exemplary stations of blister packaging machines and filling plants for pharmaceutical products and the igus products used are shown: Among others, iglidur plain bearings, igubal pillow block bearings, drylin linear bearings, lead screw technology or tribo-tape liners were installed here.

1. Dosing station

2. Weighing station

3. Circular filler / Rotary table (only for filling systems)

4. Film positioning (only for blister packs)

5. Cutting mechanism (only for blister packs)

6. Labelling station

Dosing station

1. Dosing station

In the filling unit, drylin R linear guides are used in cam-guided circular fillers.

Weighing station

2. Weighing station

iglidur P plain bearings in the flap bearing arrangement in the weighing station are maintenance-free and cost-effective.

Rotary table

3. Circular filler / Rotary table

So that medicine bottles can be fed cleanly and without tipping over from the turntable to the subsequent stations, the surfaces are lined with the liner iglidur tribo-tape.

Film positioning

4. Film positioning

When positioning films in a blister machine, the advantages of flat, lubrication-free drylin W linear guides certified for use in cleanrooms are needed.

Cutting mechanism

5. Cutting mechanism

drylin W linear bearing technology is used in the cutting mechanism for the blister foil. It operates completely lubrication-free and maintenance-free.

Labelling machine

6. Labelling station

The seal labelling of blister packs can be flexibly adjusted using drylin bearing technology.

Application examples of our customers
