DPP-180H High-Speed Flat-Plate Blister Packaging Machine
180 × 150 mm forming area, servo traction, 4,800 to 9,600 plates an hour
Your 150 mm machine is at the top of its range and foil waste is where the money goes. The DPP-180H uses a servo motor for film traction rather than mechanical linkage — advance accuracy within 0.01 mm, which lets the gap between plates come down to the technical minimum. 180 mm width, three or four plates a punch, up to 9,600 plates an hour.
1.Punch frequency: 10 to 50 times a minute
2.Servo traction: advance accuracy within 0.01 mm, the only DPP model with it
3.Output: 4,800 to 9,600 plates an hour
4.Forming area:180 × 150 mm, three to four plates a punch
5.Stroke range:40 to 160 mm
Is this the right machine for you?
✓ Yes, if…
- You need 4,800 to 9,600 plates an hour
- Foil cost is a real line item — servo traction is what reduces the gap between plates
- Your plate layout uses multiple rows across a 180 mm width
- You have 3.2 m of line length and three-phase supply at 8.5 kW
✕ Buy something else if…
- You need under 7,000 plates an hour → the DPP-150E costs less, draws 6.5 kW instead of 8.5, and takes 600 mm less floor
- You only run one or two plates per punch → you'd be paying for width you can't fill. Width only pays back when the layout uses it
- You need forming depth beyond 15 mm → this model lists 15 mm standard with no custom option shown. Send us the item dimensions
- You need more than 9,600 plates an hour → the DPP-260 series and the rotary DPH range step up from here

Flat plate and rotary are two different machines, not two speeds of one. Flat plate stretches the film against a mould with positive air pressure and a mechanical punch. Rotary forms and seals on a drum with line contact. The difference shows up in material waste, changeover time and what the machine costs you per plate — see the comparison below.
Precision Packaging Heating
Intelligent Automatic Feeder
A high-speed universal feeding system that can be integrated with brush-style or planetary feeders to handle tablets, capsules, and softgels at maximum velocity.
Film-to-Plate Registration
Advanced synchronization logic perfectly aligns the molded PVC with the aluminum foil, eliminating any risk of misalignment in high-density plates.
High-Integrity Heat Seal
The heavy-duty sealing station uses controlled pneumatic pressure and precision temperature zones to create a consistent bond across the full 180 mm width.
Advanced Film Deliver Device
Features a high-torque linkage deliver structure with multi-stage tensile control, keeping the foil perfectly taut and wrinkle-free throughout the entire process.
Precision Punching Cutter
Industrial-grade cutters perform ultra-clean slicing of the large-format sealed boards into customized sizes with clean edges without burr.

Servo Traction
Film advance is driven by a servo motor rather than a mechanical linkage. Mechanical traction accumulates positional error over a long shift, and that error turns into wasted foil at the plate gap. Servo holds advance to within 0.01 mm, which is what lets the gap come down to the technical minimum rather than to whatever the linkage drifts to by hour six.
Industry Applications
What changing over involves
A format set is four stations, not one part.
What changed | What you adjust | Roughly |
Same format, new batch | Nothing | — |
Plate layout or pocket size changes | All four moulds — forming, sealing, embossing, cutting | 15-30mins |
Alu-PVC → Alu-Alu | Moulds, and the feeder — if you specified the Alu-PVC universal feeder, it cannot be converted | Not a changeover |
Tablets → paste or liquid | Moulds and a different feeder entirely | Not a changeover |
All four stations sit on a rack mandrel with a ruler. You turn the handle and read the scale rather than aligning by eye — which is what keeps a format change to minutes rather than a morning.
What to check before you buy
The tooling, not the machine
A format set covers four synchronised stations. Ask any supplier who designs the pocket layout, how long a new format takes to make, and what it costs. That's where a blister project succeeds or fails.
The feeder, before you order
An Alu-PVC universal feeder cannot run cold-formed Alu-Alu, and it cannot be converted afterwards. Ask which feeder you're being quoted and what it locks you out of.
Installation and training
Ask what's included and what costs extra. The answer varies more between suppliers than the machine price does.
Why Choose AIPAK？
Tooling Is the Machine
On a blister line, the tooling is where the machine is won or lost. A single format set covers four synchronised stations — forming, sealing, embossing and cutting — and they have to work as one. Send us your tablet or capsule samples and we design the pocket layout around your product, not the other way round.
Material and Feeder Matching
Alu-PVC, cold-formed Alu-Alu, tropical blister and medical dialysis paper each behave differently, and so does every feeder type. A universal Alu-PVC feeder cannot run cold-formed Alu-Alu — if you may move into Alu-Alu later, that decision has to be made before the machine ships, not after. We ask about your material and dosage form first, then specify the feeder.
Support & Factory-Direct
You buy from the factory, not through a trading company — which means custom modifications are a conversation with our engineers rather than a request passed down a chain. Remote diagnostics, spare parts and operator training come from the same team that built your machine.
DPP-180H Blister Packaging Machine FAQ
Unlike entry-level machines, the 180H features an extra-long thermal sealing station and an upgraded pneumatic pressure system. This ensures that even at high speeds, each blister plate receives the exact “dwell time” and pressure required for a pharmaceutical-grade seal. Additionally, the independent PID temperature modules respond in milliseconds to maintain a constant heat environment, preventing any cold-spots or over-heating.
Mechanical traction accumulates positional error over a long shift, and that error turns into wasted foil. The 180H uses a high-precision servo motor for material traction, holding advance accuracy to within 0.01 mm. This allows us to reduce the “gap” between plates to the absolute technical minimum, ensuring you get the maximum number of blister packs out of every roll of foil.
The 180H is equipped with a Dual-Circuit Water Cooling System. The cooling plates are strategically positioned around the sealing and embossing stations to intercept heat transfer. This ensures that the product pockets remain at an ambient temperature, protecting the chemical stability of heat-sensitive active ingredients like probiotics or certain antibiotics.

At this output, the gap between plates is where the money is. A 1 mm difference across 9,600 plates an hour adds up faster than most buyers expect — and it’s the reason servo traction exists on this model and not on the 150E.
Send us your plate layout and your current material spec. We’ll tell you what the gap comes down to, and whether the difference pays for the machine.
