Technical parameter:

Application:

Automated pharmacy dispensing

Deblister tablets or capsules from bulk-supplied blisters and refill cartridges from automated dispensing systems

Clinical trials in laboratories

Deblister valuable clinical trial drugs from unused packs

Quality control testing

Testing packaging material characteristics

Pharmaceutical production and packaging facilities

Empty finished blisters which have been rejected from the packaging line because of empty pockets, poor seals, incorrect batch coding etc. Valuable product can then be re-packaged to increase yield and reduce wastage costs.

Pharmaceutical distribution & inventory management

The same drugs are often supplied to different countries in blisters with different formats and with foil printed in local languages. Manage fluctuating market demands by deblistering surplus stocks of finished blister packs and re-packaging the contents in formats to suit the needs of other markets.

Benefits

Prevents product damage

         The patented roller and guide system gently eases product out of the pocket so that minimal pressure is exerted on the tablets.

         The neoprene rollers come in different grades of hardness so that softer guide rollers can be used for more fragile products.

Prevents foil contamination

         Foil remains attached to the waste blister pack during emptying

         Waste blisters and recovered product are collected separately

No more painful fingers or RSI

Operators who deblister manually often suffer blisters on their fingers, Repetitive Strain Injury or Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. Using a machine to deblister:

         Improves Health & Safety by protecting staff from injury

         Improves morale because staff no longer need to do such a mundane job by hand.

Portable

         This machine is light enough to be lifted and moved from bench to bench.

         Does not need to be connected to an air supply.

More hygienic than manual emptying

         Constructed in stainless steel and designed to cGMP standards for easy cleaning.

     Recovered product does not need to be handled by operators.
