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.
- Dry label removal before washing and crushing for a cleaner bottle feed.
- 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.
Material Feeding
PET bottles are fed into the peeling chamber where an internal screw guides them forward at a stable processing speed.
Dynamic Peeling
High-speed rotating alloy jagged knives cut, scratch, and peel labels from the bottle surface without damaging the bottle body.
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
Thorough dry 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.
Equipment Overview
A closer look at the two core assemblies — the peeling chamber and the label-separation stage — and how PET bottles travel through the machine.
Main Label Peeling Chamber
The peeling chamber combines screw transport and rotating jagged knives to scratch and remove labels efficiently while preserving bottle integrity for the next washing step.
Dry or Wet Separation Integration
The machine can be configured with dry air classification or wet separation to remove detached labels more effectively according to the line design and contamination level.

FAQs About Bottle Label Removing
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.
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.
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.
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.
It processes standard round and square PET bottles with shrink-sleeve, wrap-around, and most glued paper or film labels. Full-body shrink sleeves are scratched and peeled by the rotating knives, while very strong full-surface adhesives may leave minor residue that the downstream hot wash removes.
It runs after de-baling and pre-sorting, and before the wet pre-wash and granulation. Removing labels at this point lowers the contamination load on the friction washer and float-sink separation further down the line.
No. The screw transport and knife geometry are tuned to scratch and peel labels while keeping the bottle body intact, so the PET stays as whole bottles for stable feeding into the next stage.
