The fully automatic PPSI Strip Packaging Machine is designed to package capsules, caplets, tablets and softgel into foil strips. These products are automatically fed in between two foil strips that are pressed by a pair of heat sealing rollers to contain the product into air-tight pockets.

One of the most important feature is the blind detector and segregator system which ensures the final strips are free from blind pockets.

The basic machine is flexible as it can be used across a variety of solid dosage forms. Be it capsule, caplet, tablet or softgel, the machine can be used with the appropriate automatic feeding system and heat sealing rollers customized to the specification of each product.

Automatic Feeding System

Capsule Feeder System

Capsules and softgel require a Capsule Feeder System. It consists of a Hopper, Feed tubes and Reciprocating feeder. The capsules/ softgel are loaded into the hopper and find its way into the feed tubes through the reciprocating motion of the feeder. With finger gates controlling the flow of products, it drops precisely into the foil for immediate sealing.

Vibrator Feeder System           

Regularly shaped tablets and caplets require a Vibrator Feeder System. It consists of a Hopper, Vibrating Bowl and Feedtrack. The products are loaded into the Hopper which funnels it into the Vibrating Bowl. The vibrating motion of the bowl mobilizes the products to queue into the Feedtrack. The finger gates then control the flow of each product as it drops precisely into the foil for immediate sealing.

Rotating Disc Feeder

Tablets that are too small or irregularly-shaped require a Rotating Disc Feeder System. It consists of a Hopper, Rotating Disc Assembly and Feed Chute. From the Hopper, the products fall into slots on the disc. As the disc rotates, the products are carried and then dropped through the Feed Chutes. Finger gates are not necessary, as the products directly drop into the foil for immediate sealing. All these are precisely timed and sequenced with the sealing operation.
