ProMach brand Pharmaworks will debut their capability to handle new 100-percent recyclable, mono-material packaging films on their blister machines.

In addition to offering their entire fleet of available blister packaging systems ready to run these challenging films, the company will offer upgrades for installed Pharmaworks blister machines in the field and can rebuild blister machines from other suppliers to handle these new sustainable films.

In this interview, Keith Smith, CEO of Vonco Products, talks about how makers of medical packaging are borrowing a page or two from the consumer sector when it comes to developing innovative and sustainable packaging solutions.

PA and PulPac created the Blister Pack Collective to limit the use of non-recyclable plastics in over-the-counter and prescription drug packaging through cross-industry collaboration.

Diofan® Ultra736 is fluorine-free, meets regulatory requirements for direct pharmaceutical contact and supports the design of sustainable films with thinner coating designs. 

ProMach Pharma provides best-in-class processing and packaging technologies that help customers maximize line efficiencies and product quality.

The Eagle-LP  joins the company’s extensive blister packaging equipment family as a reliable, cost-effective solution.

Winning entry suggests replacing the plastic and aluminum often used in medication packaging with paperboard.

Collaboration includes sharing knowledge on packaging technologies to reduce the environmental burden.

For pharmaceutical manufacturers, measuring and controlling moisture content is critical to ensure product safety, quality and efficient production since the amount of moisture in deliverables can have diverse effects when converting feedstock into products such as tablets, capsules, gel or liquid-based products.
