DPH-280H-KDZ300H Full Servo High-Speed Blister Cartoning Line
Your blister machine and your cartoner are two separate machines with an operator between them, and the carton bench is where the line backs up. This one links them — the blister machine sets the pace, the cartoner follows it, and a rejected blister means no carton and no leaflet are drawn for that cycle.
1. Line speed: up to 300 cartons minute
2. Blister punch frequency: 100 – 280 cuts/min
3. Plates per carton: 1 to 10, set on the HMI
4. Carton size: 70–180 × 35–85 × 15–50 mm
5. Line footprint: 9,500 × 1,500 × 2,000 mm, 4,500 kg
Is this the right machine for you?
✓ Yes, if…
- You already run a blister machine and a cartoner as separate stations with people between them
- You need more than 150 cartons a minute
- You run one or two formats continuously
- You have 9.5 m of straight line length, or a room that takes an L-shape
- You need under 100 cartons a minute → a blister machine and a standalone cartoner will cost less and give you more flexibility
✕ Buy something else if…
- You're buying your first blister machine → buy the blister machine and carton by hand. Linking two machines you haven't run separately is a harder project than it looks
- You change format more than once a week → a linked line changes over as one unit. Two separate machines let you change one while the other keeps running
- Your room is under 9.5 m → tell us the dimensions. An L-shaped layout is possible but it changes the transfer bridge
- You need under 100 cartons a minute → a blister machine and a standalone cartoner will cost less and give you more flexibility

What the line actually does
SEVEN STATIONS, ONE LINE
vision inspection and reject
Ionised air removes static; vacuum draws out dust before filling.
The blister machine sets the pace. Everything downstream follows it — which is why the line speed on any spec sheet is the cartoner’s ceiling, not your output. Your actual rate is your blister punch frequency divided by plates per carton.
Ten plates a carton at 280 punches a minute is 28 cartons a minute, not 300. One plate a carton is 280. Tell us your count per carton and we’ll work out your real number.
"Smart-Link" Synchronization Bridge
The line features an intelligent buffer and transfer station that automatically adjusts its speed to match the real-time output of the blister machine, ensuring the cartoner always runs at the optimal rhythm.
Full-Servo Precise Stacking
The blister counting and stacking module uses high-speed servo motors to accurately group 1–10 blister plates per carton, allowing for instant format changes via the HMI.
Separated Drive Frame, Modular Tooling
Drives sit behind the working area on both machines. Format tooling is modular across the line — but note that changing over a linked line means changing both machines together, which is longer than changing one.
Balcony Frame & Tool-less Changeover
Both machines feature the premium “Balcony” design. The modular “Quick-Snap” tooling allows the entire line to be converted for a new product format in under 45 minutes.
A Rejected Blister Means No Carton
When the vision system rejects a blister upstream, the cartoner receives that signal and skips the cycle — no carton drawn, no leaflet folded. On a line running 300 cartons a minute, that’s the difference between wasting one blister and wasting a blister, a carton and a printed leaflet.
Industry Applications
The DPH-280H-KDZ300H Integrated Line is AIPAK’s premium “Smart-Factory” solution, engineered for industries that demand zero-defect quality and maximum operational speed. It is the definitive choice for:
30-day and 60-day supplement packs
Multiple blister plates in one carton — 30-day packs usually run three to five plates, 60-day packs six to ten. Stacking count is set on the HMI, so the same line runs both.
Single-plate retail cartons
One plate, one leaflet, one carton at full line speed. This is where 300 cartons a minute is actually reachable.
Cold-formed Alu-Alu packs
The transfer bridge lifts blisters with vacuum cups rather than pushing them, so there’s no sliding friction on the foil surface.
Multi-SKU contract packing
Several counts and carton sizes across a week. Recipe recall handles the timing; the tooling still changes by hand.
What changing over involves
A linked line changes over as one unit. That’s the trade-off you’re buying.
What changed | What you adjust | Roughly |
Plates per carton(3 → 5) | Stacking count on the HMI | Minutes |
Carton size changes | Cartoner tooling, plus the transfer bridge | 15-45mins |
Blister format changes | Blister tooling and the stacker and the cartoner | 15-45mins |
Alu-PVC → Alu-Alu | Blister tooling and feeder. Not a changeover | — |
On two separate machines you can change one while the other keeps running. On a linked line you can’t. If you switch format more than once a week, that’s worth weighing against the operator you save between the two stations.
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.
We commission the link, not just the machines
A blister machine and a cartoner from the same supplier still have to be timed to each other on your floor. That’s one contract and one team, not two suppliers pointing at each other when the handshake drops.
High-Speed Integrated Blister Cartoning Line FAQ
This is the core of our “Zero-Waste Intelligent Tracking” logic. If the AI vision system on the blister machine detects a defect (e.g., an empty pocket), that specific blister is rejected. The downstream KDZ300H cartoner receives this data shift-register signal and will not pick a carton or a leaflet for that cycle. This ensures that you don’t waste expensive packaging materials on non-existent or defective products.
Conventional “push-style” transfers can scratch the aluminum foil or cause micro-cracks due to friction. Our line features a “Pick-and-Place” Vacuum Manifold equipped with medical-grade silicone suction cups. It lifts the blisters vertically and deposits them into the stacking magazine. There is zero sliding friction, preserving the aesthetic and structural integrity of your high-end ALU/ALU or Tropical Blister packs.
Yes. The KDZ300H cartoning unit is equipped with a synchronized insertion arm. The software allows you to calibrate the insertion sequence so that the leaflet can be wrapped around the blister stack or placed on top, depending on your market’s regulatory requirements. This is all adjustable via the HMI without mechanical re-timing.
High-speed rotary sealing generates significant heat. We have integrated an Active Liquid-Chilling Loop within the sealing rollers of the DPH-280H and the mechanical friction points of the transfer bridge.
Divide the blister punch frequency by your plates per carton. Ten plates a carton at 280 punches a minute is 28 cartons a minute — not 300. The 300 figure is the cartoner’s ceiling, and you only get near it on single-plate cartons. Tell us your count per carton and we’ll give you your number before you go any further.
