BASIC THINGS ABOUT BQS BLISTER PACK MACHINE
2
BQS(Blistering Quickly Through Servo ) :
• ACG Pampac presents servo technology enabled flat-forming, flat-sealing, continuous motion
blister packing machine
• Servo adds precision to blister packing by synchronizing the different movements. With servo,
BQS achieves precision power, speed and position control.
• Synchronization of different movements in blister packing machines can be achieved by
mechanically linking the movement of the different axes. use of servo substitutes the need for
traditional mechanisms like chain and sprocket, timing belts and pulley or gears. Thus, it reduces
changeover time.
FEATURES
• High output machine for both PVC/PVDC (600 blister/minute) and ALU/ALU (280 blister/minute).
• Servo technology enables user friendly operation with quick change over.
• Flat forming ,flat sealing continuous motion machine, for high speed machine.
• Unique drum feeding systems for ALU/ALU ensure reliable feeding of high speeds.
• Edge to Edge cutting for ‘Print Registered’ products gives saving in foil consumption.
• Tool less change over for both PVC/ALU & ALU/ALU

DRUM TYPE FEEDING SYSTEM
11
FEEDING SETTING
• Properly fixed the channel & feeding drum .
• Match/set the drum as per forming cavity
before
putting the tablet on feeding .
• Set the tablet dropping as per shape of the
tablets
• If it is ink-line channel then fix the dropping at
45 ̊ angel .
• The gap in-between feeding channel & drum
minimum 40 % of the tablet length .
• Maintain some parallel gap (2 -4 mm )between
feeding drum & flap plate as shown on giving
picture .

ACTION PLAN FOR AVOID THE PROBLEMS
15
 FORMING PROBLEM
• Properly check all the forming Teflon plugs before mounting.
• Set the main hydraulic pressure NLT 100 kg/cm²
• Set accumulator pressure NLT 60 kg/cm²
• Properly tighten all the knob
 LEAK TEST PROBLEM
• Use proper upper sealing plate as per the product specification
• Maintained the cleanliness of the sealing plate
• Use dust collector for ODT product
 PERFORATION PROBLEM
• Check the perforation blade before mount
• Check an clean the perforation counter plate if require
