Press-Out Manual Wide deblistering machine empties tablets and capsules from reject blister packs at a rate of up to 20 blisters per minute.

It handles small batches of:

• Push-through blisters
• Linear adn diagonal formats
• Multi-product blisters

The Press-Out Manual Wide is perfect for use in:

Pharmacy dispensing

Deblister bulk-supplied blisters for dispensing drugs into monitored dosage systems (MDS) tailored for individual patients in hospitals, nursing homes or other managed care facilities. Perfect for assisting with refilling cartridges in 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. The good 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 of different formats with the 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.

Perfect for small quantities of lots of different blisters

• Press-Out Manual Wide is perfect for operations which need flexibility for lots of different blister push-through formats.
• The patented mechanism is adjustable for many different push-though blister formats.

Prevent 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.

Prevent foil contamination
