The Benefits of Stripfoil™

The StripFoil Machine

 

 

 

The benefits of STRIPFOIL™ amount to a bottom line saving brought about by recovering rejected or rework product that would otherwise be wasted.

 

 

 

 

Why choose Stripfoil over other deblistering systems?

• The inherently gentle foil removal method enables a much wider range of product to be recovered, including capsules, friable tablets and those contained in ‘peelable’ blisters.

• The adhesive tape process of removing the foil imparts far less pressure/force on the pockets resulting in very low risk of product damage.

• The Stripfoil adhesive tape removes all potential metal or plastic contaminants and rolls them up on the waste tape spool.

• The machine employs only inexpensive change rollers which take minutes to swap over, and they are not specific to each format. No expensive tooling is involved.

• The machine has been exhaustively validated by several large pharmaceutical companies and comes with full documentation including Operation and Maintenance and Training Instructions. See the Validation page for more details.

• Process speed. The machine can operate at speeds in excess of 85 blisters per minute depending upon the product, thus reducing operator costs and improving overall line productivity.

• The system was designed and is still built in house by the same team. Technical knowledge and support, and all backup parts are therefore available and in stock in London.
