Cooling Systems for Blister Packaging Equipment

04/06/2009 6:25 PM

How to size and design a cooling system for blister packaging machine for tablets and capsules based on the following.

1. Flow rate of tap water as coolant - 40 liters/hr.

2. Inlet temperature to the blister machine- 20 deg. C.

3. Out temperature from the blister machine - 50 deg.C.

4. Operating temperature of the blister machine - 120 deg. C. - 150 deg.C.

Your kind help will be most apreciated. Thank you.

You can source this equipment on GlobalSpec, the company that powers this web site. Just search for the "packaging equipment" area and then specify "blister".

Also, I hope you'll take the time to register with CR4.

Why don't you please consider providing the cooling as a part of other cooling water or potable water system?

I agree with b v rao suggestion.

Is there any other source of coolling fluid (water in this case) to use? It will be less expensive to conect your machine in an existing system, just because the coolant flow is too small to justify a coolling system, witch could cost a lot.

Nevertheless, there are a lot of small systems to provide cooling water. You can search in this site some examples:

and get some design info in:

the alternative use of potable water is good, but if it is used in another process, taking the increase in temperature in their favor. Please, don't discard the hot water as an effluent.
