To provide a device for cutting off efficiently a continuous plastic ampule, in which a plurality of plastic ampules are connected together, in such a manner that the amples are cut off one by one.
A pair of left and right rotors 3a, 3b is provided below the lower end outlet 2 of a stocker 1 storing therein a continuous plastic ampule A0 in which plastic ampules A1 are arranged in the vertical direction. A storage groove 12 is formed outside the circumference of each of the rotors 3a, 3b to store a body (a) of the ampule A1. The rotors 3a, 3b are rotated in the opposite directions, and the ampule A1 above the ampule A1 stored between the grooves 12 is received on the cylindrical outer surfaces 13 of the rotors 3a, 3b, while the ampules A1 stored in the grooves 12 is pushed down by edges 14 of the grooves 12 to cut it off along a cut-off line B.
