EZ Blister MAP offers Modified Atmospheric Packaging options (MAP).
The Sepha EZ Blister MAP is small scale blister packing machine with Modified Atmospheric Packaging (MAP) capabilities for use in the laboratory or in production.
The small scale blister packing machine enables users to purge blister or medical device packaging with a gas type specific to their requirements. It is ideal for facilities requiring low volume packaging solutions.
- Forming
Forming material is fed from the reel to create trays that are formed to exact product requirements. - Sealing & Purging
The formed trays are sealed using knurled or flat heat sealing plates with lidding material fed from the reel holder. Product traceability can be achieved by choosing the option of code embossing the lidding material. The trays are purged with gas in a chamber before final sealing. - Perforating & Cutting
The sealed trays are cut and perforated using a precision die cutter.

Benefits
More control for R&D labs
- Bring your blister packing in-house instead of booking time on production lines or outsourcing to a third party – minimises delays, allowing your new drug product to get to market sooner
- Every day saved in the R&D lab is a day of extra profits in the marketplace
Flexible pack design
- Blister pack using a variety of materials, novel shapes, sizes or perforations – allows the full range of possibilities to be explored for pack development in the R&D lab
- Offers increased flexibility to contract packers
High quality blisters
- Reproducible, production quality packaging
- Fast & easy set-up – no specialist knowledge is required to operate the EZ Blister MAP so there is no need for an engineer to be present
Compact, portable design
Table top design for convenient blister packaging
Reduce R&D time
- Sepha can design your new blister packs. This is especially useful for customers who conduct clinical trials. We can advise them how to rationalise the number of different tools needed, even if the lab needs to package many different products
More economical for batches up to 20,000 units
- Fully cGMP compliant, so it is quick to clean – requires 5 minutes
- Fast 2-minute changeover – reduces down-time between production batches
