ruepack’s flat forming machine uses a flat platen forming and flat sealing principle, where pre‑heated PVC, PVDC, or cold‑form ALU is pressed between matched plates to create uniform, sharp‑edged cavities. This flat‑bed technology delivers excellent forming depth control and repeatability, making it suitable for intricate cavity shapes and products that require precise pocket geometry such as ampoules, vials, and specialty tablets.
After forming, products are loaded—either manually or via automatic feeding systems—and the web passes to a flat sealing station where aluminium, CR foil, or laminated paper foil is heat‑sealed to the base material, producing leak‑proof, tamper‑evident packs. The line then perforates and cuts the web into individual blister cards or trays, ready for cartoning or secondary packing. Typical machines in this class deliver around 100 blisters per minute, with forming areas sized for multi‑cavity formats and forming depths sufficient for ampoule and vial packs.
Construction is in stainless steel with polished surfaces to meet GMP requirements, and key motions are driven by servo or precision mechanical drives for stable indexing. A PLC‑based HMI allows operators to set speed, temperatures, and cycle parameters, monitor alarms, and store recipes for quick changeover between products, while options such as print registration, batch coding, and inspection/rejection systems can be integrated for regulated pharmaceutical production.
