Pharmaworks, a leader in blister packaging solutions, continues to set industry standards with its innovative technologies. Among its extensive range of product feeding and handling systems are flood feeders, dedicated tube-style feeders, and pick-and-place feeders. Pharmaworks also offers custom feeding solutions tailored to specific needs, including the handling of solid dose, liquid dose, powders, or frangible products. Each system is meticulously designed to enhance reliability, efficiency, and adaptability for various types of products and blister applications, establishing Pharmaworks as a trusted partner for pharmaceutical, medical, and nutraceutical manufacturers.
The newest addition to Pharmaworks’ impressive lineup is the FR1 Robotic Feeder, an advanced solution designed to optimize blister packaging operations. Leveraging robotic technology, the FR1 introduces unmatched flexibility, speed, and precision to product handling. A servo-controlled belt conveys products to a robotic pick-and-place system, ensuring accurate placement of items, including complex shapes like auto-injectors, nasal sprays, syringes, and, as demonstrated in the featured video, lip balm. Its quick, tool-free changeovers, completed in under 10 minutes, enable manufacturers to adapt swiftly between products, minimizing downtime—a vital feature for modern production demands.



What sets the FR1 apart from traditional feeding methods is its superior versatility and efficiency. Conventional feeders often rely on bulk agitation and mechanical adjustments, but the FR1 delivers consistent, precise handling for a broad range of product shapes and sizes. This makes it particularly suitable for items requiring extra care during packaging. Additionally, the FR1 integrates seamlessly with Pharmaworks blister machines and systems from other manufacturers, ensuring compatibility and facilitating easy retrofitting into existing production lines. By reducing downtime and maximizing throughput, the FR1 establishes itself as a future-ready solution for blister packaging.
Pharmaworks’ FR1 Robotic Feed System offers manufacturers a powerful tool to enhance operational efficiency and product quality. With its clear technical advantages over traditional systems and adaptability to diverse production environments, the FR1 exemplifies Pharmaworks’ commitment to innovation and excellence in the blister packaging industry.
