DPP-120H Automatic Flat-Plate Blister Packaging Machine
120 × 110 mm forming area, 2,400 to 4,200 plates an hour
You’re running an 80 mm development machine and the batches have outgrown it. The DPP-120H gives you a 120 × 110 mm forming area and a 40 to 120 mm stroke — more cavities per plate, or a deeper pocket for a larger item, on the same four-station format logic.
1.Punch frequency: 10 to 35 times a minute
2.Output: 2,400 to 4,200 plates an hour
3.Forming area: 120 × 110 mm, depth ≤15 mm standard
4.Stroke range: 40 to 120 mm
5.Materials: PVC, PTP, cold-formed Alu-Alu, dialysis paper
Is this the right machine for you?
✓ Yes, if…
- You need 2,400 to 4,200 plates an hour
- Your plate is up to 120 × 110 mm
- You run several formats and change over regularly
- You have three-phase supply — this machine needs 4.5 kW
✕ Buy something else if…
- You only have single-phase 220 V → the DPP-80 is the only machine in our blister range that runs on single phase
- You're still developing the format → the DPP-80 costs less and proves the pocket first
- You need more than 4,200 plates an hour → the DPP-150E steps up from here
- Your item needs more than 15 mm depth → 25 mm is a custom build. Send us the item dimensions before you assume it

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
Equipped with a high-performance heater that ensures uniform and rapid softening of the PVC film. This advanced thermal control prevents material distortion, creating perfectly shaped pockets every time.
Intelligent Automatic Feeding
Designed for maximum versatility, it automatically handles capsules, tablets, and conventional materials. The system features adjustable speed control to sync perfectly with your specific material requirements.
Film-to-Plate Registration Aluminium Film Integration
Our sophisticated “Film-to-Plate” logic ensures that molded PVC plates and aluminum foil are perfectly aligned. This synchronized packaging process guarantees that every blister is structurally sound.
High-Integrity Heat Sealing
Features a heavy-duty sealing station that fuses the formed PVC with filled materials and aluminum foil. The result is a consistent seal across the full plate width.
Advanced Film Deliver Device
Utilizes a linkage deliver structure with multi-stage tensile control. This ensures the aluminum film remains perfectly straight and taut without any folding or creasing during high-speed runs.
Precision Punching Cutter
Equipped with a high-durability cutter that slices the sealed aluminum-plastic boards into individual pieces. Every cut is performed according to your customized size requirements with millimetric accuracy.
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-120H Blister Packaging Machine FAQ
The DPP-120H is a significant step up in industrial capacity. It offers a larger max forming area (120x 110mm) and an expanded stroke range (40-120 mm), allowing you to pack larger items or more cavities per plate. Additionally, its robust drive system supports a higher stable punch frequency of up to 35 times/min, nearly doubling the production density for high-demand facilities.
Cold-forming requires extreme precision to avoid foil micro-cracking. The DPP-120H utilizes a specialized high-pressure flat-plate forming station combined with precision-timed mechanical movements. This ensures that the aluminum foil is stretched uniformly into the pocket, maintaining a perfect moisture and oxygen barrier for sensitive pharmaceutical products.
A format set is four moulds, not one: forming, sealing, embossing and cutting. All four sit on a rack mandrel with a graduated scale, so you turn the handle and read the scale rather than aligning by eye. 15-30mins for an operator who’s done it before.
The stroke length is a separate adjustment and it’s done on the screen — that part takes seconds.
One thing worth knowing: if the new format also changes your material, that’s not a changeover. An Alu-PVC universal feeder can’t run cold-formed Alu-Alu, and it can’t be converted afterwards.
To minimize expensive PTP and PVC waste, the 120H features a High-Precision Stepper Motor Traction system. This system ensures millimetric accuracy in material advancement, reducing the gap between blister plates to the absolute minimum. Furthermore, the photoelectrical tracking prevents “ghost-cutting” or misalignment, maximizing your material ROI.
The sealing station is equipped with an independent water-cooling circuit (tap or recycling water). This prevents the heat from the sealing plates from transferring to the product area. Even during long high-speed runs, the medication inside the pockets remains at a safe temperature, preserving the chemical stability of heat-sensitive active ingredients.
