DPH-260H High-Speed Rotary Blister Packaging Machine
Your flat-plate machine tops out around 60 punches a minute and the line is waiting on it. This one seals with a continuously rotating roller instead of a platen that presses and lifts. The web never stops — which is where the speed comes from, and also why the pocket depth is limited to 12 mm.
1.Cutting Frequency: 40–140 cuts/min (Alu-PVC) | 40–80 cuts/min (Alu-Alu)
2.Sealing Method: Continuous rotary roller sealing (reduced heat contact time)
3.Max Forming Width: 260 mm (Wide-format capacity for high density)
4.Material Compatibility: PVC, PTP, ALU/ALU, and PET/Paper/ALU
5.Drive System: Multi-Axis Servo Synchronization (Industry 4.0 ready)
6.Forming depth: 12 mm, customisable to 15. Deeper items need a flat-plate machine
Is this the right machine for you?
✓ Yes, if…
- You need more than 12,000 plates an hour
- Your pocket depth is 12 mm or less
- Your product is heat-sensitive — roller sealing has a much shorter heat contact time than a platen
- You run one or two formats continuously
- You have 4.2 m of line length and three-phase at 10.5 kW
✕ Buy something else if…
- Your item needs more than 12 mm of depth → syringes, vials and large pills need the flat-plate DPP-260H1, which forms to 26 mm on Alu-PVC
- You run mostly Alu-Alu → cutting frequency drops from 140 to 80 on cold-formed foil. Work your output back from that number, not the headline one
- You change format weekly → a rotary machine pays back on long runs. On frequent changes the flat-plate machines cost less in downtime
- Your floor can't take 2,200 kg → this is among the heaviest in our blister range

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.
Continuous Web, No Stop-Start
Features a continuous rotary sealing mechanism that sustains high-velocity output without compromising seal integrity — the web never stops, so there is no acceleration and deceleration cycle to work against.
Continuous Motion Logic
The seamless transition between forming, filling, and sealing stations ensures a smooth production flow, significantly reducing mechanical wear and energy consumption per unit.
Precision Roller Sealing
Intelligent Servo Control
Equipped with multiple synchronized servo motors for film traction and feeding, ensuring millimetric accuracy even at peak industrial speeds.
Separated Drive Compartment
Drives, belts and motors sit in a rear compartment rather than under the working area. Less surface in the production zone to clean between batches, and no recesses where powder collects.
12 mm Forming Depth
This is a limit, not a feature, and it’s worth stating plainly. Rolling the film against a rotating drum gives it less dwell time than pressing it against a static plate, so it stretches less far. If your item is taller than 12 mm, the flat-plate DPP-260H1 forms to 26 mm on Alu-PVC. We’d rather tell you here than at the factory acceptance test.
Industry Applications
What changing over involves
What changed | What you adjust | Roughly |
Same format, new batch | Nothing | — |
Plate layout changes | Rotary drum moulds and rollers | 15-30mins |
Alu-PVC → Alu-Alu | Tooling and feeder. Cutting frequency drops to 40–80 | Not a changeover |
Servo synchronisation means the stations re-align from the recipe rather than by manual timing — that part is on the HMI. The drums and rollers still have to come off and go back on by hand.
A rotary machine trades changeover speed for running speed. If you switch format more than once a week, a flat-plate machine will cost you less in downtime than this one saves
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.
DPH260H Rotary Blister Packaging Machine FAQ
When your volume is above what a flat-plate machine delivers and your pocket depth is 12 mm or less. The web never stops on a rotary machine, so there’s no acceleration and deceleration cycle limiting the rate. What you give up is forming depth and changeover speed. If your item is tall or you change format often, flat-plate is the better machine — not the older one.
Unlike flat-plate sealing, which applies heat to a large area for a set duration, Roller Sealing features a much smaller “tangential” contact point. The heat is applied instantaneously as the rollers turn, drastically reducing the total heat exposure time for the product pockets. Combined with our integrated water-cooling drum, the internal pocket temperature remains stable, preserving the potency of sensitive APIs, probiotics, and vitamins.
Yes. We have engineered the DPH260H with a specialized Rotary Cold-Forming Station. By using precision-machined drum molds and a high-torque servo-driven feed, we can stretch the aluminum foil uniformly. This prevents the “thinning” or micro-cracking of the foil that often occurs in high-speed operations, ensuring a for premium ALU/ALU packs.
Traditional machines rely on complex gear trains and manual timing adjustments. The DPH260H utilizes a Multi-Axis Servo Synchronization system where every major station (forming, traction, cutting) is digitally linked. During a format change, the operator simply selects the recipe on the HMI, and the servo motors automatically re-align to the correct positions, cutting setup time substantially and eliminating human calibration errors.
Absolutely. The adjustable sealing pressure and precision temperature control of our rotary drums make the DPH260H highly adaptable. It can process child-resistant (CR) packaging, peelable foils, and eco-friendly laminates with ease, providing you the flexibility to meet diverse market regulations and sustainability goals.

Two numbers decide whether this machine suits you, and neither is speed. Pocket depth on a rotary machine stops at 12 mm. And if you run cold-formed Alu-Alu, the cutting rate drops from 140 to 80 — so the headline figure isn’t your figure.
