Automated blister packaging lines operate at high speed and during the course of a shift the machinery produces reject blisters for a variety of reasons, including false alarms, but usually because of packaging imperfections rather than problems with the medication.
In addition, there are instances when whole batches need to be reworked due to incorrect labelling or bar-coding, human error or again packaging imperfections.
Deblistering to reintroduce the rejected product into the same production batch is standard procedure in most plants. STRIPFOIL is the fastest and cleanest solution available.
When the product to be deblistered is of high value there is no real option other than to Deblister. When it is an OTC low cost line the decision is less clear cut, but if it can be done very quickly, cleanly and with zero damage, deblistering is a more logical solution than incineration.
