Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a plant for packaging blisters.
  • the present invention concerns a packaging plant which, contrary to the state of the art, develops linearly even in the case when machines are grouped together and combined.
  • the present invention also concerns the corresponding method for packaging blisters.
  • Packaging plants for blisters are known, that is, the casings that contain and protect capsules, tablets or suchlike.
  • Said packaging plants comprise a boxing or packaging machine, disposed immediately downstream of a blister producing machine, or blistering machine. Said plants can be obtained either with coupled machines or integrated machines.
  • Said diversions not only complicate the structure and functionality of the machines, but also need a complex set-up and greater maintenance, they increase energy consumption and are bulky since they take up a lot of space at the front, because of the diversions. Moreover, such a configuration of the machine requires the presence of intermediate stores in order to compensate for any discarded blisters.
  • a packaging plant is also known from document US-B-6.347.709 , which comprises a blistering machine and a packaging machine operating on a plurality of rows of blisters, on each occasion, made by the blistering machine.
  • both the blistering machine and the packaging machine are designed to have the same number of blister work lines.
  • Purposes of the present invention are to simplify the setting up step, reduce maintenance interventions, energy consumption and the overall bulk of the plant with the added advantage of lower running and management costs.
  • Another purpose of the present invention is to simplify the control of the work cycle by the operators so they can also intervene more quickly in cases of blockages, given that the plant is disposed on a single front.
  • the Applicant has devised, tested and embodied the present invention to overcome the shortcomings of the state of the art and to obtain these and other purposes and advantages.
  • a plant for packaging blisters comprises a blistering machine configured to make blisters in two or more rows located parallel to each other.
  • the rows are obtained either from a single strip or from independent strips.
  • the plant also comprises a packaging machine disposed downstream of the blistering machine, and which allows to introduce the blisters in packaging boxes for their subsequent introduction onto the market.
  • the blister transport lines are disposed, which respectively define axes of work which are parallel to each other.
  • the blister transport lines end in cooperation with a blister transfer mean that feeds at least one first delivery zone and one second delivery zone located downstream of the two lines of transport.
  • Both the first delivery zone and the second delivery zone are suitable to receive one blister from the transfer mean on each occasion.
  • the first delivery zone is the only one that cooperates with the packaging machine while the second delivery zone cooperates with a positioning device suitable to transfer the blisters from the second delivery zone to the first delivery zone.
