Automatic packing machine BF 50 ST

PC-controllableperistalticcompact

Product description
BF 50 ST is a compact automatic blistering machine supplied on a trolley bench with pivoting wheels. Electrical and electronic control is provided by a Siemens PLC (CFR21 compliance). Pitch accuracy is ensured by a Brushless motor drive. The machine is designed for clinical trials, stability testing and small-batch production and is suitable for packaging oral solid products, dosing liquids and small medical devices.
