MTBP-180 & ETBC-180: The Best Desktop Blister Packaging Station for Pharmacies & Labs

Are you a laboratory manager, a pharmacist, or a supplement startup owner? You likely face a common challenge: How to produce professional-quality blister packs in small quantities without investing in massive, expensive industrial machinery.

Standard automatic blister lines are too big, too costly, and require complex setup. For R&D trials, sample production, or small batches, you need something agile.

Enter the One-Stop Desktop Blister Packaging Station: A powerful combination of the MTBP-180 Manual Blister Packing Machine and the ETBC-180 Electric Blister Cutter.

This duo offers the perfect balance of flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and professional results. Here is how it works.

Step 1: Flexible Sealing with the MTBP-180

The MTBP-180 is designed specifically for the sealing process. Unlike fully automatic machines that limit you to one capsule size per run, this manual machine gives you total control.

• Manual Filling (Total Flexibility):
  The machine does not fill the capsules automatically. Instead, you place the PVC blister sheet into the mold, and then manually place your capsules, tablets, or pills into the blister pockets. This is a huge advantage for labs because you can switch between different capsule sizes or shapes instantly without changing complex feeding parts.

• Precision Heat Sealing:
  Once filled, simply cover with aluminum foil and pull down the ergonomic handle. The machine applies precise heat and pressure to seal the foil to the PVC.

• No Air Compressor Needed:
  One of the biggest selling points is that the MTBP-180 is purely mechanical and electrical. It does not require a noisy, bulky air compressor, making it perfect for quiet laboratory environments.

Result of Step 1: You get a perfectly sealed blister sheet. However, the edges are still rough and rectangular. To make it market-ready, you need Step 2.

Step 2: Precision Punching with the ETBC-180

To transform your sealed sheet into a professional product, the ETBC-180 Electric Blister Cutter is essential. This is not a manual press; it is an electrically driven punching machine designed for safety and speed.

• One-Step Punching:
  Place your sealed sheet into the die-cutter. The machine punches out the final blister cards in a split second.

• Waste Separation (The "Skeleton"):
  The machine cleanly separates the product from the waste. You will be left with:

  1. The Finished Product: Beautifully rounded, individual blister packs (e.g., 10 capsules per board).

  2. The Waste Material: A rectangular aluminum foil/PVC "skeleton" frame. This waste indicates a clean cut with no burrs on your final product.

• Safety First:
  The ETBC-180 is equipped with Infrared Light Curtains (Safety Sensors). If an operator's hand detects near the punching area, the machine instantly stops. This safety feature is crucial for protecting staff in busy pharmacies.

Why This Combination is the "Best" for You

1. Compact Design: Both machines fit easily on a standard workbench.

2. Cost-Effective: A fraction of the price of an automatic "Flat Plate" or "Rotary" blister machine.
