· Compact packaging with minimal material use.
· Double aluminum strip packaging offers enhanced protection for heat-sensitive tablets.
Cons:
· Not all tablet types are suitable for strip packaging.
· May require specific tablet shapes for optimal sealing.
Best Use:
Suited for high-volume production lines where protection from moisture and light is critical, but speed is also essential.
Tablet Bottle Filling Machines
Pros:
· High flexibility in handling different bottle sizes and types.
· Fast production speed, capable of processing thousands of tablets per minute.
· Can be integrated into larger automated production lines.
Cons:
· Requires more space compared to blister or strip packing machines.
· Not ideal for single-dose products.
Best Use:
Ideal for large-scale pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production where tablets are distributed in bulk bottles, such as over-the-counter vitamins.
