Abstract (en)

A feed assembly (1) for feeding blister packs (BP<sub>1</sub>, BP<sub>2</sub>) into a deblistering machine (10). The feed assembly (1) includes a pair of pinch conveying mechanisms (4a, 4b) and a drive mechanism (14) for driving the pinch conveying mechanism (4a, 4b) to engagingly convey a blister pack (BP<sub>1</sub>, BP<sub>2</sub>) at a feed speed along a feed direction into the deblistering machine (10). The pinch conveying mechanism (4a, 4b) is configured to disengage, in use, from the drive mechanism (14) if the blister pack (BP<sub>1</sub>, BP<sub>2</sub>) is drawn into the deblistering machine (10) by opposed deblistering rollers (12, 13) at a speed greater than the feed speed.
