Omni FS
Modular lab machine for producing portion packs (semi-automatic)
Description
The Omni FS is a lab machine for forming, filling, sealing, cutting and punching primary packaging materials such as blister sheets. Its modular design provides space for up to four work stations. All stations can be operated individually or in parallel. Different semi-automatic dosing systems make it possible to fill powder and liquid.
Benefits
- Precise dosing systems for liquid and/or powder filling
- Flexible production of powder blisters and discs
- Customized design of product carriers

Machine features
Forming blisters
Minimum quantities of active-ingredient powder are dosed into blister cavities for dry powder inhalers. Plastic forming of these tiny cavities is achieved through thermal forming (PE film) or cold forming (aluminum film).
Filling blisters
The powder filling module can be equipped with a drum filler or with a membrane filler. The drum filler produces partially filled cavities whereas membrane filler is filling the blister cavity to 100%.
Closing blisters
Filled blisters are closed with covering or forming film. The sealing tools used can be configured by adjusting pressure, temperature and time separately for each material.
Portion packs
The production of portion packs is made up of several processes; starting with the deep drawing of the portion chambers to filling them with powder or liquid and to then finally sealing with cover film and cutting/punching process. Harro Höfliger offers process-reliable solutions for this, from the lab unit to the high performance machine.
