EZ Blister II

EZ Blister II - compact, customisable and comercially competitive blister packing machine ideal for clinical trial labs and any facility and any facilities requiring low volume packaging solutions.  It forms, seals and cuts packs to provide high quality blister packaging that you would expect from a large scale production line.

EZ Blister II has a range of options that can be selected to tailor the machine to meet individual commercial, manufacturing and technological requirements. It is engineered and manufactured in the UK to GMP standards. Blister packing of tablets, capsules, medical devices, ampoules, sachets, pouches and other products can be achieved from either thermoforming (eg. alu/pvc) or cold forming (alu/alu).

The pressure booster and optional teflon coating helps to optimize production when using difficult materials and full pack traceability can be assured with the addition of a coding system.

BlisterScan

Non-destructive leak testing for blister packs utilising state-of-the-art non-contact scanning technology at an affordable price. The perfect alternative to the messy Blue Dye test.

FEATURES

• Detects leaks as small as 7μm in individual blister pockets

• Non-destructive clean and dry process so packaging and its contents are not damaged. Fewer samples are destroyed - less waste generated

• Fully validatable - faults identified by machine not operator removing subjectivity. Comprehensive GMP or GAMP validation documents available

• Full web testing, with no limit on number of pockets

• Can be set to operate at same rejection level as Blue Dye Test (30-50μm)

• Fast, semi-automatic set-up with self-testing mechanism to verify the functionality of the sensor each time

• Automatic sampling and statistical testing

• Test data can be automatically collected, printed and stored or downloaded for post-test analysis. Results stored for 10 years min.

• Innovative product recognition feature means product-specific test data is stored automatically in pre-designated file locations

• Easy calibration using tool supplied. Select calibration options through the touch screen display

TRACING THE SOURCE OF A LEAK

BlisterScan instantly pinpoints the location of a faulty pocket seal. Further graphical analysis is provided for each individual blister pocket.

This improves your blister packing process by enabling engineers to trace and identify the source of a leak, according to current PAT (Process Analytical Technology) thinking.

The BlisterScan screen shows a pass (green) or fail (red) result for each blister pocket and also indicates the absence of a blister pack (black).

No Specialist training is required.

Low cost tooling

A Pass or Fail result is indicated immediately on completion of the scan

MediScan

MediScan is a tool-less, non-destructive leak detection device that identifies leaks as small as 10μ in non porous

• pouches
• sachets
• Medical device packaging

It incorporates the leak detection technology and software, developed by Sepha, that is utilized on a daily basis by top global Pharma companies to ensure product integrity in their Pharmaceutical production lines.

FEATURES

• Non-destructive seal integrity and leak detection device
• No tooling required, making it hightly flexible across a number of pack types and sizes
• Capable of detecting weak seals, channel leaks and holes down to 10 micron.
• Table top device
• Capable of handling wet or dry non-porous packages up to 100mm x 200mm x 250mm
• Easy operator use via touch screen interface and easy load chamber
• Capable of storing multiple test methods for up to 10, 000 product types
• User defined password protection ensuring multiple operator use
• Fully Validatable system
• Production of objective and repeatable results
• Test results can be printed, exported via USB (x2) or integrated into local quality control system via Ethernet cableFast, efficient test speedAudit data available and fully 21 CFR part 11 compliant.

PakScan

Non-destructive leak testing for pouches, sachets and other flexible packs (non-porous materials) which contain dry powder or a solid component with a head space inside the packs.

FEATURES

• Non-destructive test reduces waste costs

Tested samples can be replaced in the packaging line as they are not damaged during the test process. This test is clean and dry, unlike the Methylene Blue Dye method, therefore PakScan generates less waste and reduces associated waste disposal costs

• Test multiple packs simultaneously

PakScan inspects up to 4 large sachets simultaneously, each pack measuring up to 275mm x 90mm x 50mm. This speeds up testing and offers a more representative view of the entire production web. The machine can be customised for smaller or larger format areas or to accommodate users' specific sample size requirements.

• Identifies leaks from 10μm

PakScan identifies leaks in individual packs as small as 10μm, dependingon the pack size and format. The system can also be pre-programmed at the same rejection levels as the Blue Dye Test, if required.

• Fully validatable system

PakScan test results are generated automatically based on the pre-programmed test method used for each pack. As operator subjectivity is removed, the system can be validated. Complete GMP or GAMP validation documents are available.

• Clear result indicator screen

Intact pouches show a green 'Pass' result and leaking pouches show a red 'Fail' results.
