plastic bottle label remover

Plastic bottle label remover is a specialized equipment for removing labels from the surface of PET bottles. It effectively peels off the plastic or paper labels from the bottles through the high-speed rotating blade or friction effect, without damaging the bottle structure.

After the label removal, the PET bottles can go directly to the next step of the crushing and washing process, which improves the efficiency of the whole PET recycling process and the quality of the finished products. The equipment is suitable for PET bottles of various specifications, is easy to operate, and low maintenance cost, and is one of the key machines in a plastic bottle recycling plant.

Advantages of Label Removing Machine

  • High de-labeling rate: Label removal rate up to 98%.
  • Durable Blade: The blade is made of tungsten carbide, which is highly wear-resistant.
  • Equipped with a fan: it can blow out the PVC labels, and two fans can be equipped for large output.
  • Guaranteed purity: Effectively reduces the PVC content to less than or equal to 100-300mg/kg, ensuring the high purity of the final PET bottle flakes.
  • Customizability: Custom colors are available upon request.

Roles of Plastic bottle label remover

The main function of the PET bottle label-removing machine is to remove PVC labels from the surface of PET bottles. Through efficient mechanical de-labeling, it ensures that the purity of the bottle flakes meets the requirements during the subsequent PET bottle flake cleaning process, thus enhancing the quality of the recycled PET material. This process is essential to reduce the amount of impurities in the bottle flakes and increase the market value of the recycled product.

PET Label Remover Machine Working Principle

The PET plastic bottle material will be conveyed to the inlet of the label remover, the spindle rotates to drive the PET bottle forward. After the spindle rotation of the dynamic knife and the cylinder wall of the fixed fixed knife spiral friction, so that the label paper falls off. These special claw knives are made of copper welded to a fast-rotating spindle that pushes the bottle forward at a specific angle. Once the labels are cut, they are blown into a collection chute and then blown out.

The spacing between the spindle alloy blades and the inner wall blades can also be flexibly adjusted according to the different sizes of bottles. It is reasonable to avoid the scratch of the blade on the bottle body so that the output of the manufacturer’s bottle flakes is of better quality and sells at a higher price.
