DEBLISTERING, Pharmaceuticals and cosmetics
Blister packs, shampoo bottles, pill bottles
Fully packaged commercial pharmaceutical products like blister packs and pill containers, can be put straight into the Dominator depackaging machine, automatically depackaging large volumes.
Wet pharmaceuticals, or even cosmetics like shampoo bottles or cream tubes can be handled with ease.
Deblistering in practice
Two dominator depackaging machines were installed at a factory which specialises in the recovery of materials from waste pharmaceutical products.
The first machine was set up to remove aluminium blister packs from their cardboard boxes, these blister packs were then separated using an eddy current separator before falling into a second machine. This second machine then removed (de- blistered) the tablets from the blister packs so the aluminium could be sent for recycling.
Due to the versatility of the Dominator, the same model was used in both stages, but different paddle settings and shaft speeds were used to optimise performance.
Instead of sending these blister packs to landfill the customer is now able to recover the aluminium and has gained an additional revenue stream.
