Blister packaging, widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, is mostly made of Alu-PVC or Alu-Alu composite structures. While offering excellent sealing and high strength, the tight bonding of these materials has long made them difficult and costly to recycle. With increasingly stringent environmental regulations and the rising value of aluminum resources, efficiently separating aluminum from plastic has become a critical issue in the recycling of pharmaceutical packaging waste. Through professional mechanical separation technology, blister packaging is no longer considered "low-value waste," but rather a valuable source of high-purity aluminum powder and reusable plastic.
Core Process and Equipment Composition

This medical blister pack recycling machine utilizes a purely physical mechanical separation process, requiring no chemical solvents or high-temperature treatment, ensuring safety, environmental friendliness, and stable operation. Waste blister packaging first enters a crushing system, where fine shearing and pulverization fully separate the aluminum and plastic layers. Subsequently, the material enters a multi-stage sorting unit, utilizing the differences in density, conductivity, and motion characteristics between aluminum and plastic to achieve high-precision separation. The final output consists of uniformly sized, high-purity aluminum powder and clean plastic fragments, which can be used for smelting and recycling.
Equipment Advantages and Application Scenarios
This system features a mature structure, high separation efficiency, and continuous and stable operation, making it particularly suitable for pharmaceutical factories, medical waste treatment centers, and professional recycling companies. Compared to manual dismantling or incineration, mechanical separation significantly reduces labor and environmental costs while maximizing material value. Furthermore, the equipment boasts a high degree of automation and simple maintenance, and can handle various specifications and types of blister packaging materials.
