Abstract
A device (13) for removing individual pharmaceutical vessels (2) from a trough-shaped transport container (1), a system (40) having a corresponding device (13), and a method for removing individual pharmaceutical vessels (2) from a trough-shaped transport container (1) are proposed.
Claims15
A device (13) for removing individual pharmaceutical vessels (2), in particular vials (2), from a trough-shaped transport container (1), in particular a tray (1), having a plate-shaped support structure (14) that comprises a particularly horizontally extending support surface (16), wherein the transport container (1) can be arranged on the support structure (14) in such a manner that an underside (17) of a base (3) of the transport container (1) faces away from the support surface (16) and the individual vessels (2) are arranged on the support surface (16) or are arranged spaced vertically above it, and having a removal mechanism (20) for removing the transport container (1) from the individual vessels (2), characterized in that the support structure (14) is assigned a vibration-generating unit (25) that is designed to induce a particularly horizontal vibrational movement in the support structure (14) at least intermittently during the removal process, which vibrational movement can be transmitted to the transport container (1) and/or the individual vessels (2), in order to detach the individual vessels (2) from the transport container (1).
A method for removing individual pharmaceutical vessels (2), in particular vials (2), from a trough-shaped transport container (1), in particular a tray (1), comprising:
- a. Arranging the transport container (1) on a support structure (14) with a particularly horizontally extending support surface (16), wherein an underside (17) of a base (3) of the transport container (1) faces away from the support surface (16), and wherein the individual vessels (2) are arranged on the support surface (16) or spaced vertically above the support surface (16);
- b. Removing the transport container (1) from the individual vessels (2), wherein the support structure (14) is at least intermittently induced to perform a particularly horizontal vibrational movement during a removal process which is transmitted to the transport container (1) and/or the individual vessels (2), in order to detach the individual vessels (2) from the transport container (1).
