Strip Packing Machine Applications

SaintyCo strip packing machines are primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry to package tablets, capsules, softgels, effervescents, and sterile medical devices. However, they can also package products like lozenges, chewing gum, dragées, small electronics, and more.

What Is A Strip Packing Machine?

A strip packing machine uses pressure and heat to seal single-dose solid units, like tablets or capsules, between two foil strips. This method creates a protective layer that’s resistant to moisture, light, air, and tampering, keeping each individual dose sterile and safe. 

Instead of thermoforming blister packaging machines (where tablets are placed in cavities), SaintyCo strip packing machines use flat foil sheets. This results in a more compact design that’s better suited to high-speed and high-volume lines. Our strip packing machines also produce minimal material waste. 

Ultimately, our strip packing machines automate four key functionalities: feed, seal, inspect, and cut, with optional extras like strip counting and batch printing.

The Strip Packing Machine Process

At every stage of processing, SaintyCo strip packing machines use the highest-quality components to ensure accuracy, performance, and consistency. Here’s a breakdown of six key stages of our strip packing machines.

Feeding
Feeding

Our machines can be fed directly from an upstream tablet press or via a bin or hopper. A vibratory tray moves tablets down a chute, separated by guided tracks, or lanes.

Sealing
Sealing

Two rollers bring packaging materials together under controlled pressure, temperature, and time to seal the product within the strip.

Inspection
Inspection

Our intelligent inspection system verifies that the right number of products are positioned and sealed correctly. If there are defects, the strip is rejected without flow interruption.

Photo Print Registry
Photo Print Registry

Integrated sensors align to ensure the pre-printed film is cut at the right position, essential for high-quality branded products with logos or text.

Cutting & Perforating
Cutting & Perforating

The continuous strip is cut into individual packets depending on the programmed format, like 1×1, 1×2, 2×2, or other custom dimensions. Perforations may also be added.

Control System
Control System

Our advanced PLCs with HMIs include recipe management, diagnostics, and live error alerts and are ready for MES or SCADA platform integration.

Foil & Film Compatibility

SaintyCo strip packers support many types of packing materials, thanks to cartridge-type heaters and thermostatic temperature control. For example, aluminum-aluminum foil, aluminium-plastic laminated film, plastic-plastic sheets, and paper laminates like paper-poly, cello-poly, and glassine-poly.

Foil & Film Compatibility
No-Fill & No-Foil Detection

No-Fill & No-Foil Detection

Faulty strips are automatically rejected by our smart no-fill and no-foil detection system. It looks for tablets that are missing or misaligned, foil misfeeds, and other defects. It’s an essential step to safeguard your output quality and ensure your product remains compliant.

Strip Packing Machine Systems & Components

SaintyCo strip packing machines are made up of modular subsystems, each of which are constructed with the highest quality, precision-tooled components. The first stage involves feeding systems, like a vibratory bowl, which causes tablets to go down chutes, past a counting system, to the sealing area. 

The forming forming film reels are preheated bu sealing rollers which are servo-controlled with careful pressure monitoring to preserve product integrity. After inspection, the cutting and perforation systems chop the strip packets into the desired size. Printing systems can add batch codes, expiry dates, or other information. 

The automated rejection system uses visual sensors to check for faulty strips which can be removed from the packaging line. Strips that meet the standard exit through a gutter onto a conveyor to the next packagin stage, typically cartoning. 

Versatile And Customizable Strip Packing

At SaintyCo, we can configure strip packing machinery to meet your unique packaging and product requirements. For instance, our machinery can handle various foil widths and be adjusted to have different lane counts depending on what you need. 

Our models also vary between servo-driven or mechanical systems to suit different budgets and production goals. You can choose between intermitten and continuous motion and consider optional features like photo registration, printing, and visual inspection systems. 

We work with our clients to ensure you end up with the best possible setup optimized for your specific facility. We offer multiple machine configurations to fit different factory and line layouts, with space-saving designs and even benchtop models. To discuss which of our strip packing machines works for your setup, please get in touch with our friendly and expert team today.

Do you strip packing machines work with eco-friendly foils?

Absolutely, our machines support sustainble foils and films like paper poly or even biodegradable or recycled plastic films.

Can I process fragile tablets with a strip packing machine?

Yes, you can. Servo-controlled rollers and precise temerature control mean that the pressure on tablets is very gentle and consistent, which is fine for most breakable or soft products.

Do you provide validation assistance for your strip packing machines?

Yes, here at SaintyCo we offer full support for DQ, IQ, OQ, and PQ protocols. We provide documentation and even onsite validation assistance.

Can strip packing machines print expiry dates and batch info?

Yes, definitely. We offer multiple printing methods like embossing/debossing, inkjet, heat transfer, and thermal transfer. This ensures batch traceability.

Won’t tablets get crushed during the sealing process?

No. The sealing force is very carefully and precisely controlled. The rollers are servo-driven and can make even the most minute adjustments automatically thanks to sensors.
