Clamshell & Blister Loading Equipment is designed for the precise insertion of items, whether they are in a liquid or solid state, into pre-fabricated clamshell or blister packaging. It ensures efficient and accurate placement, catering to a variety of industries that require secure packaging solutions for their products. The equipment is versatile, capable of handling different sizes and shapes of both the product and packaging, making it suitable for applications ranging from pharmaceuticals to consumer goods. Its operation can significantly enhance the speed and reliability of packaging processes, addressing the needs of businesses looking to optimize their packaging operations.

These machines can be configured for manual, semi-automatic, or fully automated operation, and often include alignment tools, pick-and-place robotics, or conveyor integration to streamline the loading process. Whether filling a hinged clamshell tray with food items or placing electronics into custom-molded blisters, this equipment ensures uniformity and precision while helping reduce manual labor and the risk of damage during loading.

Typical products and applications include:

• Pre-packaged fruits, pastries, or deli goods: Loaded into hinged clamshell containers for retail display
• Electronics or accessories (e.g., earbuds, chargers): Placed into clear blister cavities for tamper-resistant packaging
• Toys and novelty items: Loaded into pre-formed blisters prior to sealing
• Pharmaceutical items (e.g., pill cards or unit doses): Precisely positioned in cavities for secure packaging
• Small hardware (e.g., fasteners or tool bits): Sorted into blisters for point-of-sale packaging

Additional Considerations:

• Supports a range of container shapes and materials, including PET, PVC, and hinged trays
• Can be paired with downstream blister or clamshell sealing systems for complete automation
• Enhances product presentation and reduces loading variability
• Optional features may include robotic pick-and-place, vision systems for accuracy, and tooling changeovers for quick product switches
• Designed to minimize product damage and manual handling for delicate or precision items
