Our machines’ stable performance and high throughput help you to tackle short production times, changing product demands, and stringent regulatory requirements.

From high-mix, deep-draw formats to ultra-high-speed mass production, our solutions reduce operational risk, while seamlessly integrating with your downstream equipment and existing digital systems.

Our Blister packaging machines

The BE blister platform helps you achieve higher efficiency, predictable quality, and lower operational risk. Standardize your network on a platform that handles everything from high-mix production to high-speed campaigns.

BE4

This blister machine is engineered for medium-sized batches, combining flexibility and high performance with a user-friendly and compact design.

BE6

The BE6 (6-lane) is a high-speed blister machines for large-scale production, delivering maximum output and efficiency for solid dose products.

BE8

An 8-lane high-speed blister machine delivering maximum output for large-scale production of solid dose pharmaceutical products.

Benefits

Scalable performance

Expand your future capacity, from 300 blisters per minute up to 800 blisters per minute, without switching technology platforms.

Consistent, data-driven quality

Patented sealing, shrinkage control, and forming-force monitoring deliver repeatable sealing and forming results across all speeds.

Faster & safer changeovers

Reduce downtime and operator dependency using tool-free or ultra-light format parts, magnetic clamping, and standardized guided workflows.

Stable production

Manage SKUs with ease, controlled forming and sealing behavior that remains consistent during speed changes and long production runs.

Reduced OEE risk

Enjoy up to 80 percent faster format changeovers with tool-free parts, magnetic clamping, and guided workflows that reduce downtime.

Seamless processes

Modular scalability to future-proof your operations

Our BE-series blister platform combines process stability, digital readiness, and modular scalability into one harmonized machine family.

Unlike solutions that force trade-offs between flexibility, speed, and compliance, we deliver a pharma-grade platform designed to reduce risk and increase performance over the full lifecycle.

Enjoy platform consistency across the full performance range, which enables easier training, faster adoption, and smoother multi-site standardization.

Configurable architecture lets you adapt and scale over time, without disrupting standardized operations.

Seamless processes

An end-to-end solution

Smooth upstream integration: Connect easily with upstream feeding and dosing systems to maintain a continuous, stable product flow across your primary packaging line.
Stable primary packaging: Reliable forming, sealing, and transfer stability help to reduce interruptions and protect pack integrity during the core blister packaging step.
Downstream efficiency:Balanced line and reliable transfer stability enhance your downstream cartoning, inspection, and serialization steps.
Clean digital connectivity: Integrate smoothly into MES, ERP, and OEE systems, with standard interfaces that enable transparency and data-driven operations.

Industry challenges

Innovative blister line packaging

Learn how our BE-series solves common manufacturing challenges and delivers flexible, stable, and digitally ready production.

Rising SKU complexity

More variants, languages, and market requirements are driving frequent format changes and smaller batch sizes. With our BE platform you can achieve up to 80 percent faster changeovers, maintaining reliability in high-mix environments.

Expectations for higher quality

Quality monitors are under pressure to detect issues earlier and strengthen process transparency. Built-in process control and monitored sealing principles support repeatable pack integrity and reduce variability across batches.

Cost pressure & OEE

Micro-stops, scrap, and slow recovery after interruptions become major profit drains. With its uptime-oriented design choices, stable foil handling, and adaptive behavior after stops, our BE solutions deliver predictable line performance and fewer interruptions.

Material variability

Packaging materials vary across regions, which means you need lines that stay stable across different films and lidding foils. Maintain consistent output without constant re-tuning by using controlled forming settings that adapt to different foil types.

Features

BE series: A unified platform for scalable blister production

Our BE-series stands out by combining process stability, digital readiness, and modular scalability into one harmonized machine family.

Engineered to keep lines running predictably, and to recover quickly after interruptions, the platform reduces micro-stops, and improves planning reliability.
A consistent operating experience across the full performance range enables easier training, faster adoption, and smoother standardization across multiple global sites.
Configurable and upgradeable architecture allows you to expand capabilities over time without replacing the entire platform.

Blister lines packaging solutions

The modular blister packaging ecosystem

Modern pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing demands absolute flexibility without sacrificing speed or compliance. By treating primary packaging as a unified, modular ecosystem, manufacturers can leverage the same robust Blister Expert (BE) technology across entirely different applications.

Whether your facility focuses on high-volume oral solids or complex medical devices, the core architecture remains stable, while application-specific feeding systems and add-ons seamlessly bridge the gap between primary and secondary packaging.

At Körber we have:

Blister lines for oral solids (tablets and capsules)

For high-speed efficiency, process stability, and quick changeovers for the most common medication forms (making up over 60% of dosages).

a close up of a blister line with syringes

Blister lines for medical products (parenterals & devices)

For deep-draw applications and gentle handling for sensitive, complex geometries like syringes, ampoules, vials, or medical devices.

Additional solutions

Add-ons for blister packaging machines

Universal Feeding Systems: Engineered to accommodate demanding tablet geometries, integrating natively with both continuous and intermittent blister machines.
Containment & Safety: Protects operators and prevents cross-contamination for highly active oral solids through fully automatic negative pressure controls and hygienic dosing zones.
Late Stage Customization (LSC®): Boosts OEE for small batches by using a BIB-BOB module to collect unprinted blisters, allowing country-specific information to be applied at the last possible moment.
Dosing & Sampling Tests: Utilizing state-of-the-art laboratory testing to verify high machinability and dosing accuracy before full-scale production.
