Abstract

Two rows of blister bubbles (13) are formed from a length of thermoplastic synthetic (33) and cut of as double blister bubbles (15). After the relative distance between the double blister bubbles has been increased, and before they are fed into sealing palettes (12), the double bubbles are moved to a stationary cutter (20), where they are cut into individual blister bubbles. The relative distance between the individual bubbles is increased, before they are moved by a transfer unit (27) into the sealing palettes.
