What Makes the Model 380 Roller Blister Packing Machine by Urban Machinery Stand Out?
The Model 380 is not just a standard high-speed roller blister machine—it’s a precision-engineered solution optimized for maximum throughput, minimal waste, and effortless operation. Built on Urban Machinery’s patented technologies (Patent No. ZL.2013 2 0436174.3 for graphics alignment; Patent No. ZL 2013 2 0464944.5 for vibration feeding), it addresses key pain points of traditional machines while delivering unmatched performance:
Designed punching speed of 240 punches/minute: Powered by a high-speed toggle-type drive (a superior alternative to low-speed dual-cam designs), it avoids the risks of overwide packaging materials (≤330mm) such as uneven heating, poor forming, and unstable traction—issues that plague unupgraded wide-format machines.
Continuous roller-driven workflow: Integrates blister forming, product loading, sealing, die-cutting, and waste removal into one seamless process, with a throughput that outperforms entry-level models by 40% for small to medium-sized products (e.g., pharmaceuticals, small cosmetics).
Core Advantages of the Model 380
The Model 380 isn’t just about speed—it’s about delivering tangible value through Urban Machinery’s innovation, durability, and cost-saving engineering. Here’s how it transforms your production line:
1. Industry-Leading Speed & Stability
At 240 punches/minute, the Model 380’s high-speed toggle drive ensures consistent performance without compromising quality. Unlike low-speed cam-driven machines, its advanced roller-stepping system (paired with a high-speed air-clamp stepper synchronized with Ullmann technology) eliminates slipping, deviation, and uneven traction—critical for maintaining seal integrity and product alignment. For pharmaceutical companies packaging tablets or capsules, this means a 300% boost in output compared to semi-automatic machines, with zero risk of misaligned blisters or weak seals.
2. Lightweight, Durable Molds with 1-Click Changeover
The Model 380’s molds, a signature of Urban Machinery’s engineering, redefine efficiency:
Material excellence: Upper and lower molds are crafted from special hard aluminum, offering 3x faster cooling (thanks to superior thermal conductivity), ultra-smooth blister surfaces, and exceptional hardness—reducing mold wear by 50% vs. standard steel molds.
Effortless operation: Quick-install/quick-remove design allows mold changes in 15 minutes or less. No mechanical adjustments are needed—simply select the stored product number on the touchscreen, making it ideal for operators of all skill levels (including female operators with minimal training).
3. Patented Graphics & Text Alignment (Zero Manual Calibration)
A standout feature of the Model 380 is its China-leading roller plate-type graphics alignment system (reserved station, patented by Urban Machinery). Also known as "computer alignment," it ensures stable high-speed production by automatically calibrating alignment when replacing aluminum foil—no manual adjustments required. This technology has been proven in large-scale deployments with top clients: Fujian Jinri, Zhejiang Kangenbei, Zhejiang Huahai, Hebei Xiehe, Shanghai Zhaohui, and Shandong Ruiyang, to name a few. For brands prioritizing packaging consistency (e.g., pharmaceutical labels, branded cosmetic blisters), this eliminates costly misprints and reduces material waste by 15%.
4. Intelligent PLC Control & 360° Touchscreen Operation
Urban Machinery’s user-centric design shines in the Model 380’s control system:
Ergonomic electrical box: A cantilevered design with forward/backward adjustment and a 360° rotating touchscreen gives operators and technicians unobstructed visibility—critical for quick debugging and real-time monitoring.
Smart protection: Multi-user authority settings (three-level password management) prevent accidental changes to production data, while built-in self-protection functions (e.g., overheat alerts, pressure monitoring) minimize downtime from equipment errors.
5. Heat-Resistant Heating Plate for Uniform, Stick-Free Forming
The Model 380’s heating plate reflects Urban Machinery’s focus on longevity and precision:
Durable construction: Integrally cast with line-contact heating and a latest-generation Teflon coating, it resists sticking to PVC and ensures even heat distribution—eliminating deformed blisters caused by hotspots.
Pulse constant temperature control: Three-stage heating (preheating → heating → molding heating) adapts to different film materials (PVC, PET, PP, aluminum-aluminum), ensuring optimal forming for every product type.
6. Clear, Durable Batch Numbers (A Domestic First)
Urban Machinery reimagines batch number printing in the Model 380 with a crankshaft double-bearing + eccentric wheel structure (replacing outdated low-speed double-cam designs). Key benefits:
White steel lettering: Fonts stay clear and durable even after 100,000+ prints, complying with pharmaceutical traceability requirements (e.g., FDA, EU GMP).
Tool-free maintenance: Card-type batch number plates with pull-out installation make replacements fast—no wrenches needed, cutting maintenance time by 70%.
7. Annual Material Savings of USD85,000+ (Offset Punching)
Waste reduction is a core design principle of Urban Machinery’s Model 380:
Carbide steel punching die: Processed via machining center + EDM + nitriding, it reaches HRC58-62 hardness—resisting wear and corrosion for 2x longer than standard dies.
Offset/zigzag punching: Eliminates horizontal waste edges and limits vertical waste to just 1mm. For a medium-sized pharmaceutical plant, this translates to USD85,000–90,000 in annual packaging material savings—a direct boost to profit margins.
8. Dual-Purpose Function (Aluminum-Plastic & Aluminum-Aluminum)
Why invest in two machines when Urban Machinery’s Model 380 can do both? It supports aluminum-plastic (PVC/aluminum) and aluminum-aluminum (hard aluminum) packaging—simply replace one set of molds to switch between formats. This saves 50% of floor space and eliminates downtime from machine swaps. For aluminum-aluminum applications, we recommend adding the optional "pinhole detection" feature (a Urban Machinery exclusive) to ensure airtight seals for sensitive products (e.g., moisture-sensitive pharmaceuticals).
9. 99.999% Feeding Accuracy (Patented High-Speed Vibration Feeder)
The Model 380’s patented vibration feeder (Patent No. ZL 2013 2 0464944.5, owned by Urban Machinery) sets a new standard for reliability:
Unmatched precision: 99.999% feeding rate, with each tube handling 500–600 grains/minute—eliminating manual feeding and reducing product jams to near zero.
Tool-free adjustment: Align the feed plate to blister nests by hand (no wrenches required), making it easy to switch between tablet shapes (round, oval, oblong) in minutes.
10. Ergonomic Feeding Platform & Versatile Feeding Options
Urban Machinery prioritizes operational efficiency in the Model 380’s feeding table:
Flat guide plate: Easy to clean and operate, complying with food and pharmaceutical hygiene standards (e.g., FDA, BRCGS).
Multiple feeding methods: Compatible with disc brush feeders, vibration feeders, and capsule orderly turning feeders—adapting to tablets, capsules, syringes, or small consumer goods.
