5.7 Tablet Tray Unloader
Because tablets fit snugly in the tray, and may be difficult to remove, a device has been designed to
make unloading easier. The Tablet Tray Unloader has small projections at each tray position which lift
the tablet slightly, so it can be removed using tweezers or a vacuum lifting device.
A Tablet Tray is shown in the foreground, with
two rows of tablets inserted. The tablets are
nearly flush with the top of the tablet opening.
Removal would be difficult. While the tray
could be turned over and “dumped” this would
mix up the tablets.
The Tablet Tray Unloader is shown just above.
The black projections extend through the holes
in the tablet tray, to lift each tablet up slightly
for unloading.
With the tray installed onto the unloader, each
tablet is lifted just enough that it can be
grasped with tweezers and removed.
Follow required laboratory procedures,
including use of gloves to prevent
contamination.
Alternatively, a vacuum lifting device may be
used. One such model is:
Zephyrtronics Air Pick ZT-3
SMD Handling Station
Suction cups are available in several sizes.
