A perforation device to perforate closed receptacles containing coloring products is provided, and includes a support plane which is configured to support a receptacle to be perforated. The support plane is movable in a substantially vertical direction. The perforation device also includes a perforation member positioned at a determinate height, higher than the support plane, and an actuator to selectively move the support plane toward the perforation member to cause the perforation of the receptacle to be perforated. The actuator includes a lifting mechanism connected to the support plane and drivable by a pedal that cannot be driven by an operator without the operator also driving a safety mechanism at the same time using both hands.
