PressOut Automatic

Pharmacy dispensing

Clinical trials in laboratories 

Enables deblistering of valuable clinical trial drugs from unused packs. Also, competitive products need to be deblistered and repacked for use in double blinded clinical trial studies.

Quality control testing

Testing packaging material characteristics.

Pharmaceutical production and packaging facilities

Ideal to empty blisters which have been rejected from the packaging line because of empty pockets, poor seals, incorrect batch coding etc. The good product can then be re-packaged to increase yield and reduce wastage costs. Fluctuating market demands can be managed easily by deblistering surplus stocks of finished blister packs and re-packaging the contents in formats to suit the needs of other markets.

For waste disposal

When the product reaches the end of its shelf life it needs to be destroyed.  For reject blisters containing toxic product, there often is an expensive disposal process of the product is not separated from its packaging.

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
