Equipment for making plasters

Medical and bactericidal plasters are complex flexible products that require a precise balance between substrate durability, adhesive performance, and patient comfort. INEX provides complete, integrated production lines covering every stage of the manufacturing process—from raw material processing to the final packaged product.

Our equipment is highly customizable to accommodate specific adhesive types (including hot-melt and solvent-based), substrate materials (non-woven, PE film, or fabric), and various patch geometries. Whether you are producing standard first-aid bandages or specialized post-operative dressings, our lines ensure consistent adhesive thickness and clean edge conversion.

Core Components of the Production Line

• Substrate Processing: Unwinding and handling modules for various base materials. Supports lamination, surface texturing, and perforation processes to ensure breathability according to technical specifications.
• Adhesive Coating Station: Precise application of Hot-melt or Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSA). Supports full-surface coating or pattern-coating (dot matrix) with real-time thickness control.
• Rotary Die-Cutting: High-speed shaping and sizing of the plasters (square, rectangular, circular, or contoured). Features roll-to-roll or roll-to-sheet cutting capabilities.
• Drying and Conditioning: Integrated thermal zones for solvent evaporation or hot-melt stabilization, with strict humidity and temperature monitoring.
• Advanced Quality Control: In-line inspection systems using photosensors and vision technology to verify adhesive uniformity, edge smoothness, and the absence of material defects.
• Automated Packaging: Individual sealing into blisters, sterile sachets, or flow-packs. Includes moisture protection, automated marking, and batch date coding.
