Plastic Bottle Label Removal Machine

This machine removes more than 95% of labels from PET bottles before washing and granulation, improving recycled flake purity and reducing load on downstream separation stages.

  • More than 95% label removal for standard PET bottles before washing and crushing.
  • Available in dry and wet configurations for different line layouts and material conditions.
  • Wear-resistant alloy blades help maintain performance with lower maintenance downtime.

Label Removal Machine Working Principle

The PET bottle label remover achieves over 95% peeling efficiency through a practical three-step mechanical process for cleaner bottle feed into the washing line.

1. Material Feeding

PET bottles are fed into the peeling chamber where an internal screw guides them forward at a stable processing speed.

2. Dynamic Peeling

High-speed rotating alloy jagged knives cut, scratch, and peel labels from the bottle surface without damaging the bottle body.

3. Air/Wet Separation

An integrated air classifier or wet flotation process separates peeled labels from heavier PET bottles for cleaner downstream handling.

Key Advantages of Our PET Label Remover

High Purity Output

More than 95% label removal before granulation supports cleaner PET flakes and higher end-product value.

Increased Line Efficiency

Reduces downstream separation load and supports higher capacity in PET bottle washing lines.

Wet and Dry Options

Available in dry and wet versions. The wet model also adds pre-cleaning while labels are separated.

Durable Blades & Easy Maintenance

Wear-resistant alloy knives provide longer service life and can be replaced more easily to minimize downtime.

FAQs About Bottle Label Removing

What is the typical label removal rate of the machine?

Under normal operational conditions, the label remover achieves a separation rate of more than 95% for standard round or squared PET bottles and similar containers.

What is the difference between wet and dry label removers?

The dry version utilizes an integrated Zig-Zag air classifier to blow away lighter labels from the bottles. The wet version includes water injection, adding pre-washing while labels are separated through water flow.

How are the label remover knives maintained and replaced?

The spindle features bolt-on alloy blades designed for durability. Maintenance teams can unscrew and replace individual blades without dismantling the entire rotor, reducing downtime.

Can this equipment process compressed or baled plastic bottles?

Yes. Baled material should first pass through a bale breaker or de-baler to create a loose bottle stream before label removal for the best peeling performance.
