Abstract:
Blister packaging machines are used in pharmaceutical industries for packing of medicinal preparations in tablets. It was determined that the design of tools for PVC film thermoforming and aluminum foil welding influences the process stability and the occurrence of errors and delays. This paper presents an analysis of the causes of wrought and ''struck'' tablets. The improvements of tool design prevents the occurrence of errors and delays.
