3.4.4 Cooling Water
Metal reacts with water. In this event, electrochemical processes take place which lead to a weakening
of the metal. These processes are referred to as corrosion.
Corrosion of water-bearing components made of metallic materials cannot be prevented because metal
is never fully resistant against water.
DQ
Corrosion is reinforced by different materials in the cooling water circuits. Copper, zinc and iron ions
may cause contact corrosion when contacting aluminium.
To protect aluminium tools and parts in contact with cooling water, the cooling water for closed systems
should be conditioned as follows:

4.2 Process Sequence
The blister machineeB350 / 820362 is designed for handling thermos formable and aluminium forming
materials as well as aluminium lidding materials.
Forming film unwinding from internal reel carrier:
The forming film is withdrawn from the forming film reel by the forming film unwinding unit. The unwind
speed depends on the size of the compensating loop in the forming film unwinding unit. The machine
detects the near end and the end of the forming film. The old and the new forming film are precisely cut
and spliced on the cutting and splicing table. If a forming film splice is detected, the product feeder
stops placing products into the pockets during the respective cycle and the spliced blister will be
eliminated from the packaging process.
The heating station heats up the forming film until the required processing temperature is reached. The
forming station forms pockets into the heated film in line with the customer's blister layout requirements.
The index after the forming station transports the forming film through the heating and the forming
station.
After the index after the forming station, the formed web enters the fill section over the web reversal
assembly. The compensating pendulum after the forming station compensates the different indexing
movements of the intermittent index after the forming station and the continuous ET roller index.
Formed aluminium materials are inspected additionally for tears and pinholes by the tear and pinhole
control.
The product feeder places the products into the formed pockets while they are transported through the
fill section. The rotary brush sweeps protruding products into the pockets and cleans the web surface.
In this way, no impurities will be sealed in. The safety flap detects products that protrude over the
pockets. The fill control inspects the blisters for correct filling.
The sealing roller, in conjunction with the ET index roller, positively withdraws the lid foil from the lid foil
reel. The machine detects the near end and the end of the lid foil. The old and the new lid foil are
precisely cut and spliced on the cutting and splicing table. If a lid foil splice is detected, the product
feeder stops placing products into the pockets during the respective cycle and the spliced blister will be
eliminated from the packaging process. The printer prints format-specific data on the lid foil.
The sealing station seals the lid foil on the filled web. The ET roller index positions and transports the
web. The ET roller index is cooled. The sealed web enters the compact station over a compensating
loop.
The MT roller index transports and positions the web in the compact station. The compact station
provides the blisters with an embossed code and/or perforation lines before the punching station
punches the blisters. The punching waste is discharged into the empty blister box of the faulty blister
reject station.
A vacuum arm transfers all punched blisters to the transfer system. Good and faulty blisters are
removed from the transfer conveyor in certain positions, depending on the blister data registered in the
Master Shift Register (MSR). Empty and partially filled blisters are eliminated by the faulty blister reject
station and collected separately in the respective boxes.

4.3 Machine Components
4.3.1 Forming Film Reel Carrier
The forming film reel carrier is designed for reception of the clamping shaft and for the positive
unwinding of the forming film. The forming film reel carrier has no drive of its own.

DQ
4.3.2 Cutting and Splicing Table for Forming Film
Manual clamp (1) fixed forming film, use a special blade cut orbital forming membrane, then connect
with duct tape and new forming film.
DQ
4.3.3 Forming Film Unwinding Unit
The forming film is withdrawn from the reel installed on the reel carrier by the forming film unwinding
unit.
The forming film is mechanically clamped between the gear motor-driven (1) drive roller (2) and the
pressure rollers (3) to prevent the film from slipping away.
The forming film forms a buffer loop between the two sheet-metal plates (4), which is monitored by a
sensor (5). When the sensor (5) is covered, the drive roller (2) reduces the speed for 5 cycles and then
runs again at the previous speed.
During production, the sensor (6) is always covered by the film loop. When the film reel is used up, the
film loop gets shorter and uncovers the sensor (6). In this case, the machine stops and displays an
error message.
DQ
4.3.4 Forming Film Guide
The forming film is held in place by pneumatic clamping bars (1). It is automatically clamped when the
machine stops and manually clamped for cutting and splicing.
The forming film is cut by folding down the swivel blade (2) and then spliced to the new forming film by
means of adhesive tape.
The side guides (3) are set to suit the film width.
DQ
4.3.5 Joint Monitoring
Sensor (1) detects splices on the inside of the forming film

The registered splices are evaluated in the machine control system. The affected forming film section is
not formed and not filled with products and the affected blisters are rejected by the blister reject station.
The splice detection unit is integrated into the cutting and splicing table.
DQ
4.3.6 Heating Station
The heating station heats the thermoformable film up to the temperature that is required for forming the
pockets in the downstream forming station. The thermoformable film is heated up intermittently. The
heating plates (1) close during the forming cycle and open at a predefined point in time. The forming
film is transported on and the next heating cycle starts. The heating plate length is dimensioned in such
a way that three index lengths can be heated up, even if the longest possible index length is used.
The heating plates are divided into two heating circuits. Each heating circuit can be heated up to a
different temperature and each heating circuit is monitored with regard to over temperature, low
temperature and sensor wire break. After switching on the heating, the machine starts up only when the
heating has reached the specified temperature. At machine stop, the heating plates open to avoid an
overheating of the film and to facilitate film threading.
If heating plates with a specific coating are required for a particular film type or if the coating is worn
out, the heating plates can be easily exchanged.
Information
The Rhenolease MK IV coating may chip off when used for handling PVDC forming films. It cannot be
ruled out that coating particles may get into the packaging process and may be sealed into the blister.
Therefore, the heating plates must presently be considered as wear parts that have to be inspected by
the customer for signs of damage at regular intervals and replaced immediately even if only the
smallest surface damage is visible.
DQ
The heating station heats the thermos formable film up to the temperature that is required for forming
the pockets in the downstream forming station. The thermos formable film is heated up intermittently.
The heating plates (1) close during the forming cycle and open at a predefined point in time. The
forming film is transported on and the next heating cycle starts. The heating plate length is dimensioned

DQ
4.3.7 Forming Station
On the left: with forming tool for thermos formable films, on the right: with forming fool for aluminium
forming material and tool replacement aid.
The forming station forms the pockets for the products into the forming film.
A servomotor (1) with reference sensor produces the driving power which is transferred to an eccentric
shaft with connecting rod via a planetary gear. In this way, the stroke motion of the lifting plate is
produced.
Thermoformable films: The lower (2) and the upper forming tool (3) close up on the forming film. The
pressure nuts (4) (set of cup springs)"This should be air cushion" in the lower part of the forming station
produce the required closing pressure. The heated film is blown into the cavities of the lower forming
tool by means of compressed air.
Aluminium forming materials: Aluminium forming films are mechanically formed in the aluminium
forming tool block (5). The pressure nuts for aluminium forming are solid and contain no cup springs.
The forming tools are indirectly cooled by the water-cooled upper and lower tool supports. Directly
cooled forming tools are also available.
The forming station is equipped with a forming film lift-out function. This function allows blowing the
formed web out of the cavities of the lower forming tool depending on format requirements.
