Towaco, NJ - Uhlmann, the world wide leader in blister packaging technology, introduces the B1660 Blister Machine, a high performance model that is available in either continuous or intermittent motion configurations. The B1660 features:

  • New SimTap 3 feeder (Simultaneous Tablet Placement)
  • Integrated process at blister cartoner transfer
  • Operating speed of up to 700 blisters per minute
  • Maximum format area of 280mm x 284mm
  • TouchScreen with 3D Visualization
  • Quiet "Whisper" Mode
  • Tool quick-change system
  • Controlled discharge of waste air and heat for clean room atmosphere
  • Production data acquisition system for fast process analysis

A highlight of the Uhlmann B1660 is the blister transfer to the cartoner, a specially engineered process which saves space and cost by eliminating the need for an additional product chain in the cartoner.

Another exciting feature is the new SimTap 3 feeder which provides a large format range, making it ideal for high outputs. The SimTap 3 ensures that the number of tablets ready for placement correspond with the number of blister pockets ready to receive them. The SimTap 3 also has very few format parts and special servo-driven adjustments to facilitate changeovers and cleaning.
