TF1 Blister Machine
The TF1 is a cost-effective blister machine that is perfect for low-volume production. Built with simplicity in mind, this entry-level machine requires minimal training and minimal maintenance. Although compact in size, it can produce up to a 90mm x 165mm blister with a maximum draw depth of 25mm. It can thermoform many types of materials and can optionally be set up to cold form. This machine can integrate the same feed systems and printers that are used across the TF1 family of machines.
