DPP-150E High-Efficiency Flat-Plate Blister Packaging Machine
150 × 120 mm forming area, 3,600 to 7,200 plates an hour
Your 120 mm machine is running two shifts to keep up. The DPP-150E gives you a 150 × 120 mm forming area and up to 40 punches a minute — 3,600 to 7,200 plates an hour, roughly double the 120H, on the same four-station format logic and the same footprint class.
1.Punch frequency: 10 to 40 times a minute
2.Output: 3,600 to 7,200 plates an hour
3.Forming area: 150 × 120 mm, depth ≤15 mm standard
4.Stroke range: 40 to 140 mm
5.Materials: PVC, PTP, cold-formed Alu-Alu, dialysis paper
Is this the right machine for you?
✓ Yes, if…
- You need 3,600 to 7,200 plates an hour
- Your plate is up to 150 × 120 mm
- You run several formats and change over regularly
- You have three-phase supply — this machine draws 6.5 kW
- Your film is up to 160 mm wide
✕ Buy something else if…
- You need under 4,000 plates an hour → the DPP-120H does 2,400 to 4,200 at 4.5 kW and a smaller footprint
- You need more than 7,200 → the DPP-180H and 260 series step up from here
- You only have single-phase 220 V → only the DPP-80 runs on single phase
- You're still proving the format → the DPP-80 costs less and the tooling is cheaper to iterate
- Your item needs more than 15 mm depth → 25 mm is a custom build. Send us the item dimensions first

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.
Intelligent Automatic Feeding
A versatile feeding system that automatically processes capsules, tablets, and softgels with adjustable speed to match your specific production tempo.
Film-to-Plate Registration
The formed PVC and the foil are aligned before the sealing station rather than at it. Misregistration shows up as a partly sealed pocket, which passes visual inspection and fails a leak test.
High-Integrity Heat Seal
A robust sealing station fuses materials under controlled pressure and temperature, creating a pharmaceutical-grade barrier against moisture and oxygen.
Advanced Film Deliver Device
The linkage deliver structure features multistage tensile control, keeping the aluminum film straight and taut without any folding, even at peak speeds.
Precision Punching Cutter
High-durability cutters perform millimetric slicing of the sealed boards into customized sizes, delivering a clean, professional finish every time.
Industry Applications
AIPAK’s DPP-150E is a high-capacity platform designed to meet the rigorous demands of large-scale pharmaceutical and industrial packaging lines. Its robust engineering supports continuous operation across multiple high-value sectors:
Multivitamin and supplement blisters
10, 20 and 30-count plates in retail formats. A 150 × 120 mm forming area fits more cavities per plate than the 120H, which is where the per-unit cost comes down at volume.
Softgels and capsules
Alu-PVC for standard shelf life, cold-formed Alu-Alu where moisture is the constraint. Both run on this platform with the right feeder.
Larger tablets and odd-shaped items
A 40 to 140 mm stroke handles items the 120H cannot. Send us the item and we’ll tell you whether it forms cleanly at 15 mm depth.
Sterile medical components
Syringes, needles and surgical kits sealed to dialysis paper. Note the paper width here is 130 mm, narrower than the 160 mm film.
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.
Multivitamin and supplement daily packs
High plate density is what lowers the per-unit cost here. A 260 mm width fits five or six plates a stroke where a 120 mm machine fits two.
Softgel and capsule blisters
Alu-PVC for standard shelf life, cold-formed Alu-Alu for moisture-sensitive fills.
Tropical blister for humid export markets
A second aluminium forming and sealing station added to the same platform.
Effervescent and hygroscopic tablets
Where the barrier is the product’s shelf life, not a cosmetic choice.
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-150E Blister Packaging Machine FAQ
The DPP-150E sits in the middle of our flat-plate range. Its 150 × 120 mm forming area and 40–140 mm stroke suit facilities running steady medium-volume batches across several product formats — larger than a pilot line, but without the footprint and utility demands of a high-speed rotary system. For R&D and clinical-trial batches, the DPP-80 is the better fit; for continuous mass production, look at the DPP-260 series or the rotary DPH range.
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.

The step up, when 7,200 plates an hour stops being enough.

Send us your plate, not just your output target.
Plates per hour is the number everyone asks about, but the one that decides the machine is how many cavities fit on your plate. A 10-count and a 30-count plate at the same hourly rate are two different machines.
Send us a sample tablet or capsule and your current plate layout. We’ll tell you whether 150 mm is the right width, or whether you’d be better off at 120 or 180.
