DESIGN   and   DEVELOPMENT

Design and development has been a large part of Blueprint Technology business since the company was founded. The company has taken on contracts to develop products ranging from the fully automated production of Fragranced Candles and In-shop wet product re-fill systems for a multi-national PLC, to the development of semi automatic medical cohesive tape banding systems..

CASE STUDY

An example of a product development is the medical Cohesive Tape Banding System that was developed in conjunction with Jenton International to complement their range of Banding Machines. The initial specification for the system was for taping medical tube system sets for blood product lines. The tubing had to be secured and coiled for packaging, to remove the chances of entanglement and damage whilst in transit. The coiled tube is then quick and easy to use by medical staff wearing surgical gloves.

The Cohesive Tape Banding System provides a semi-automatic solution for production quantities not requiring fully automated assembly systems.

The first Cohesive Tape Banding System went into production in early 2002 allowing lightly pressure sensitive tape strips to be automatically sealed around coils of tubing that had previously been fixed with tied strips or by hand taping. The pressure sealed paper bands can be printed if required and are easily torn off by medical staff whilst still being strong enough to hold the pack securely. Robust components and simple pneumatic operation will ensure long a working life and the system has been designed to operate in clean rooms, with a small operating footprint to minimise the use of valuable clean room bench space.
