Efficient PET Recycling

Wet Label Remover for Plastic Bottles

Revolutionary Solution for Improved Quality of Recycled Plastic – Removes More Than 95% of Labels and Efficiently Cleans PET Bottles

Application Areas

Wet label removal enhances the quality of PET/HDPE recycling and reduces processing costs. Typical use in pre-treatment and pre-wash stages to improve flake quality and reduce adhesive residues.

PET Bottle Sorting and Washing Lines

Removes labels before the crushing step to reduce contamination and improve flake quality.

HDPE/PP Bottle Recycling (shampoo, household cleaners)

Reduces label/adhesive residues; better washing results and higher product value.

Shrink Sleeves and Stubborn Labels

Effective for shrink sleeve labels; less manual work and higher line capacity.

Bottling Plants and Collection Centers

Pre-treatment at source; lower downstream burden and energy/water savings.

Post-consumer (MRF) mixed streams

Pre-cleaning of contaminated streams; improves sorting and washing results.

PET-to-PET and food-grade routes

Higher purity as a foundation for high-quality applications and better yield.

How It Works

Our Wet Label Remover utilizes advanced mechanical and hydraulic technology to efficiently remove labels while an initial cleaning takes place.

1

Bottle Input

Plastic bottles enter the machine through the feed system.

2

Cutting by Meters

Special alloy meters cut and tear off labels from the bottles.

3

Water Washing

Water jets wash the cut labels into a collection trough.

4

Bottle Separation

Cleaned bottles are ready for the next recycling phase.

Key Benefits

Improved Quality Recycled Material

By removing labels before further processing, our equipment reduces contamination in PET flakes, resulting in higher-quality recycled material. This is crucial for applications requiring pure PET.

Increased Production Efficiency

The integration of label removal and cleaning in a single step streamlines the recycling process, leading to lower labor costs and higher throughput for your business operations.

Reduced Operating Costs

By improving overall efficiency, our equipment can lower operating costs, allowing recycling facilities to optimize their processes and achieve a better return on investment.

Contribution to the Environment

By improving recycling efficiency and the quality of recycled materials, our equipment makes a significant contribution to the circular economy for plastics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maintenance cycle of the equipment?

Our Wet Label Remover is designed for minimal maintenance. It is recommended to inspect and sharpen/replace the blades every 1-2 months depending on usage. Other components generally require a thorough inspection every six months.

Can the equipment handle different types of labels?

Yes, our equipment can process the most common types of labels, including paper, plastic, and shrink sleeve labels. For particularly stubborn labels, it may be necessary to adjust the parameters for optimal results.

How can I integrate the equipment into my existing recycling line?

Our machine is designed modularity and can be easily integrated into existing PET bottle recycling lines, typically before the crushing and deep cleaning processes. Our technical team provides full support for installation and integration.

What are the operating costs of the equipment?

The costs vary per model, but our equipment offers better cost-effectiveness than traditional methods. By improving the quality of the recycled material, cost savings over the long term generally exceed the initial investment.
