Customizing the film width capacity of a blister packaging machine significantly reduces waste by optimizing the layout of the blisters. By extending the machine chassis to accommodate a slightly wider film (e.g., increasing from 250mm ...

Starting a new manufacturing business is hard, especially when you have limited space and need professional equipment. You might worry that industrial machines simply won't fit in your small factory.
