label removing machine for PET bottle recycling line

PET Bottle Label Removing Machines remove more than 98% of labels attached to bottles quickly and efficiently. This machine has a longer service life which can reach up to 10.000 tons input. It has a high-efficiency bottle label separation rate and a low bottle damage rate. The average bottle-breaking rate is within 5%. After the labels are removed, the bottles can be fed into a plastic shredder as well as a washing machine to produce cleaner PET flakes for easy recycling.

label removing machine applications

• Label removers are primarily used to remove labels from plastic, glass, and metal containers before processing. This is because most recycling facilities require clean, label-free materials to ensure the recycled products quality.
• In addition to the recycling industry, label removers are also used in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. Labels are removed from bottles and cans to avoid contaminating the product during processing.
• PET bottle label removers can also be used in retail and logistics environments where labels need to be removed from returned or repackaged products. In these applications, the machines help to streamline processes and increase efficiency.

De-labeling machine final product display

We have successfully developed the plastic bottle label removing machine, which is a major step forward in the recycling of plastic bottles. Traditionally, whole plastic bottles are fed into a plastic granulator together with the labels. The resulting PET flakes are mixed with shredded labels and caps. Once the plastic is mixed, it is more difficult to remove these small contaminants, so it is more efficient to remove the plastic labels at the beginning of the recycling process. The following pictures show de-labeled plastic bottles.

main structure of PET bottle label remover

• De-labeling unit: the core structure, which includes blades, hot water, steam, or chemical treatment unit for removing labels and adherents from PET bottles. For optimal performance, the knives inside this machine can be easily removed, sharpened, and replaced.
• Control system: used to monitor and regulate the operation of the de-labeling machine, including controlling parameters such as conveyor speed, temperature, or pressure of the de-labeling unit.

Plastic bottle label remover working principle

It is especially important to be careful not to let iron or stones fall into the machine during operation. If they do, please stop the machine immediately. The following is the working process of plastic bottle label removing machine.

1. The item to be processed enters the de-labeling machine via a conveyor system. The system positions them to ensure that they enter the de-labeling area accurately.
2. Inside the plastic bottle remover are sharp, tough, alloy-jagged knives that cut and peel the labels away from the plastic bottles.
3. These special, claw-like knives are welded by copper onto a fast-rotating spindle at specific angles to push the bottles forward. As the labels are cut away, they are blown into a collection chute.

In the PET bottle recycling line, the bottles treated by the de-labeling machine enter the plastic crusher and washer to continue the operation.

benefits of label separating and removing machine

• Machines are typically rugged and long-lasting with heavy-duty components that can withstand continuous use.
• The knife inside the PET label remover can be easily removed for sharpening and replacement, resulting in optimal performance and extended machine life.
• Reducing manual intervention and increasing the automation level of the production line helps companies to reduce production costs.
• Suitable for different types, shapes, and sizes of PET bottles with certain versatility.
• Prevents labels and stickers from causing damage to subsequent plastic shredding equipment.
• Machines are usually of compact and space-saving design for easy installation and use.
• The label removing machine can usually be adjusted to vary the speed and pressure of the label-removal process, depending on the type of label and the surface being treated.
