ABSTRACT:
A packaging arrangement for packaging products, such as contact lenses, in packages such as blister packs. The packaging arrangement includes a rotary index table defining on its upper surface a plurality of identical, radially-oriented support pallets, equally spaced apart around the rotary index table. Each support pallet is designed to support an array of individual package bases thereon, and is sequentially rotated to stop at angularly spaced radial positions in the rotary packaging machine. At a first radial position, the rotary packaging station receives blister package bases, each having a product deposited therein, and places the package bases in the support pallet then at the first radial position. At subsequent radial positions, the rotary packaging machine verifies the presence and alignment of each package base, deposits a fixed dosage of saline solution into each package base, optionally verifies that a fixed dosage of saline solution has been deposited in each package base, places a marked laminated cover over the package bases, heat seals the laminated cover to the package bases, verifies the proper positional placement of the laminated cover on the package bases, and finally unloads the completed blister packs from the rotary packaging station, for subsequent processing such as sterilization and secondary packaging.
