Product overview
The BPL150 (Classic) is an early-generation packaging line by Jornen that integrates the BMP270 blister machine with the ZH150 cartoner. Engineered for solid oral doses and ampoules, this economical line supports multi-product, small-to-medium batch production. A simplified conveyor link between blister and cartoner modules enables straightforward operation and fast format changeovers, while the mechanical drive architecture reduces capital and maintenance complexity for facilities prioritizing cost-effective, reliable packaging.

Key features

• Platen-type sealing station suitable for a range of thermoforming applications.
• Balcony-style blister architecture simplifies access for cleaning and maintenance.
• Plug-and-play format parts for rapid format changes.
• Simplified conveyor connection for flexible transfer between blister and cartoner modules.
• Intermittent-motion cartoner optimized for small production runs.
• Cantilever cartoning layout isolates drive components for easier maintenance access.
• Designed for multi-product setups and small-to-medium batch workflows.
• Mechanical drive concept lowers initial investment and simplifies servicing.

Gallery / equipment details (captions from product gallery)

• Pinhole detection system for blister integrity control (optional).
• Integrated forming material splicer to reduce downtime during web changes.
• Enlarged forming and sealing area option for higher-volume batches.
• Universal feeder with two circular brushes and planetary agitators to sweep products into blister pockets without dedicated format parts.
• Feeder accommodates capsules, flat tablets, oval tablets, capsule-tablets, triangular tablets and other shapes.
• Integrated product inspection with color camera and automatic rejection (optional).
• Lidding material loader with quick-fit mechanism and indexed guide rollers for easy foil placement and replacement.
• Digital position indicators for fast, straightforward adjustment of workstations during format changeover.
• After cutting, blister cards are discharged automatically via transport belt.
• Vacuum arm collects blister cards and transfers them to the cartoner.
• Blister cards are counted inside magazines during free fall using a servo-driven system and held by the transfer belt.
• Leaflets are separated from a bottom-feed pile magazine, pulled off and folded; fold patterns from one to four folds as required.
• Rotary carton pick-up removes cartons from the carton magazine and places them onto the carton conveyor chain.
• Inserter device places blister cards and leaflets into cartons.
• Long carton magazine capacity of approximately 1,000 cartons.
• Cartons are closed automatically within the conveyor chain; digital position indicators simplify adjustment.
• After insertion, embossing and closing, cartons are discharged automatically.
