Shawpak

Shawpak is a leading manufacturer of a unique range of packaging equipment for medical devices including rotary thermoforming machinery, rigid blister making equipment and pouch machinery.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;Built in the UK at our state-of-the-art engineering facility based in Derby, every care has been taken to ensure the machines are built to the highest quality.

&nbsp;

The start of Shawpak began in 2013 when David Shaw, CEO, thought that the size of a long linear thermoforming machine - which was six metres long - could be condensed into a smaller machine, but with the same input. This development turned into our revoltuionary rotary thermforming machine.

&nbsp;

The shawpak thermoforming machine uses a rotary drum to form, fill and seal the medical devices unlike the traditional linear thermoformers. The benefit of wrapping this around a drum reduces expensive clean room space as it&rsquo;s so compact, reduces waste on blister packs and also increases flexibility to change tools over. The shawpak theroformer comes in a range of 32-20, 42-25, 62-25 &amp; 82-20 and can produce both rigid and flexible packs.

&nbsp;

Shawpak&rsquo;s range also includes the pouch machine and the pouch sealer. The shawpak pouch machine launched at the start of 2021, it represents the best solution for packaging flat medical products. Take back control of your supply chain, produce your own medical packaging on demand. The shawpak pouch machine is a highly flexible and innotive solution for producing pouches or the machine can be utilised to make 4 side seal packs for flat medical devices. Other beneficial features include a compack bespoke design which allows a small footprint, saving valuable floor space and utilises modular assemblies for quick chaneovers and improved accessibility.

&nbsp;

To compliment our range of medical packaging machinery we have now developed the shawpak rigid blister machine which forms the blister, die cuts the outer profile and stacks them ready for use in production. The highly flexible machine is capable of creating diecut rigid blister packs of up to maximum size of 600x300mm (or multiple packs totalling 600x300mm). The shawpak rigid blister machine is designed to create blister packs on demand, preventing the need to store surplus inventory of stock by auto stacking packs and a seperate waste disposal.

Shawpak&rsquo;s newest machines coming soon include the Shuttle Machine.
