Abstract
A Blister Packaging Device having an Invertible Nesting Tray and Method of Use. The nesting tray is defined by blister nests on opposing sides of the same tray, so as to allow the user to flip over the nesting tray to dump a just-completed blister package, while simultaneously loading the nest on the opposing side of the tray for the sealing of a new blister package. In addition to being invertible, the nesting tray is slidable from a distal position to a sealing position (under the heating press plate) along a pair of parallel rails. Nesting trays are removable from the parallel rails so that they can be exchanged with nesting trays for forming blister packages of another configuration. By elimination of a rotating turntable of nesting trays, the Device provides a more compact blister packaging machine than was previously possible.
