In nutraceutical and pharma, oral thin strip machinery turns liquid slurry into precision-dosed strips at scale. A modern line links four core modules:
- Casting & Drying: Meter the wet film with micrometer control; multi-zone drying protects heat-sensitive actives.
- Thickness & Vision QC: In-line gauges and cameras catch dose or width drift before waste accumulates.
- Slitting & Die-Cutting: Clean edges, repeatable formats (e.g., 20×30 mm); web tension stays stable across reels.
- Packaging (Sachet/Blister): High-barrier laminates (low WVTR/OTR) lock in taste and potency.
What to look for when buying
- Dose consistency: ±2–3% weight/assay at target GSM.
- Throughput with OEE: Real, not just nameplate—look at uptime, changeover minutes, and scrap %.
- Hygienic design: GMP-ready contact parts, tool-less teardown, CIP/SIP options.
- Recipe memory: Digital batch records, auto-tension, and closed-loop thickness control.
- Scalability: Same die and drying logic from pilot (5–10 m/min) to production (25–60 m/min).
Use cases: caffeine/focus strips, sleep aids, vitamins, oral-care actives, pediatric/veterinary dosing.
The payoff? Lower dose variability, faster launches, and cleaner operations—exactly what oral thin strip machinery is built to deliver.
