Compass Pharma Services, LLC has expanded its blister packaging capacity for contract pharmaceutical packaging and contract vitamin packaging with the installation of a new high-speed blister packaging machine from Uhlmann USA.

“Blister packaging and unit dose packaging continues to grow in popularity among our pharmaceutical packaging and nutritional packaging customers,” said Tony Fenno, chief operating officer of Compass. “Our investment in additional blister packaging capacity was necessary to keep pace with this increased demand.”

According to the company, the new blister packaging system (Uhlmann thermoformer UPS4) operates on as many as 50 cycles per minute depending upon product size, configuration and packaging material. Compass can produce cold foil blisters or thermoformed blister packages from PVC, PVDC, and barrier films such as PCTFE. Package and fill consistency are assured with a fully integrated vision detection system that continuously inspects manufacturing quality and tablet or capsule fill accuracy, according to the company.

New cGMP blister packaging capabilities include: integrated filling and large-format tooling option to fill multiple tablets/capsules into a common blister; inline cartoning and secondary operations; inline flexo printing; balcony construction for full cGMP packaging requirements; Deep-draw (12 mm to 35mm) thermoforming capabilities for large tablets/capsules; and chilled feed area for packaging of temperature-sensitive products including probiotics.
