Overview
The TF1 offers many state-of-the-art features, which makes it the preferred small footprint pharmaceutical blister packaging machine. Designed using servo technology for all station movements, the TF1 is flexible to set up and run, as well as efficient and quiet. Built with cleaning and GMP standards in mind, this machine also offers quick change tooling. Although the footprint is small, it is capable of producing in excess of 80 large HUD blisters per minute.
The TF1 is configurable and has no line shaft. Click here to see a demonstration of the expandable feed area.
