Performance

Designed for stable deep-draw blister production

The BE3 combines precise forming control, shrinkage stabilization, and flexible format handling to deliver consistent performance in demanding medical and pharmaceutical applications. 

Our solution uses electronically adjustable forming times to match different foil types, thicknesses, and geometries, to ensure accurate and repeatable blister quality. The dedicated draw-off unit eliminates shrink effects during stops, so when it restarts, everything stays aligned and production continues smoothly. 

The system also supports a wide range of materials and pack formats, including large cavities and specialized designs such as open clamping packs. Since the changeovers are tool-free and it’s easy for operators to switch formats, the BE3 helps reduce downtime and keep production running efficiently, even in environments with high-variability production.  

Benefits

Consistent product quality

Precise forming control and adjustable process settings help maintain accurate blister shapes across different materials and complex geometries, reducing defects.

Reliable production after stops

The built-in shrinkage control keeps the material stable, so the machine can restart smoothly with minimal alignment issues or rejected packs.

High flexibility for different products

Handle various pack sizes, styles and requirements with one machine, thanks to the wide format range, multiple lane options and compatibility with different materials.

Support for complex packaging needs

The deep-draw capability and large cavity support make it suitable for medical devices, parenterals, and other sensitive or bulky products.

Reduced downtime and faster changeovers

Tool-free, simplified changeovers and easy machine access help operators switch formats quickly and keep production running efficiently.

Improved operational efficiency

Get a more predictable output and improve overall equipment effectiveness through stable processes and a faster recovery after interruptions.

Faster operator onboarding

The user-friendly HMI makes the machine easy to operate, reducing training time and helping operators get up to speed quickly.
