On-Site Training for Bottle Filling and Blister Packaging Machines

On-Site Training for Bottle Filling
Our on-site training for bottle filling machines provides a technical, hands-on learning experience for your entire team. Whether you have new employees who are learning how to operate your machines or experienced professionals who need a refresher, novice and expert employees learn the steps for bottle filling together at your facility.
Thomas’s bottle filling training programs cover daily bottle filling operations and resolve issues that often occur in the industry, such as:

On-Site Training for Blister Packaging
Thomas’s on-site training also covers hands-on training for blister packaging operations. Our on-site technicians explain forming and filling operations, so your staff understands each detailed step, from forming, filling, and sealing blister cards to transferring them to a cartoning machine.
Our on-site training for blister packaging also includes retraining experienced employees, teaching them problem-solving skills for existing machines experiencing common issues in:
- Blister molding

Making Your Operations Successful With Hands-On Training
Imagine a production line that runs smoothly all the time. With Thomas’s hands-on training services, we make it possible.
Problem-Solving for Blister Molding
During the blister molding process, the PVC film heats up and passes through a mold where compressed air is used to form a blister that fits your product’s shape and size. If your molding isn’t accurate, Thomas Packaging experts provide your team with problem-solving training so they can fix the issue and continue production quickly.
After our training, your on-site technicians can determine if:
- Your machine’s PVC film is a qualified product
- The temperature of the heating device is too high or low
- Your PVC film is stuck on the surface of the heating device
- The machine’s forming mold is qualified
- The mold’s forming and air holes are smooth
- Your forming mold’s cooling system is working correctly
