Efficient PET Recycling

Wet Label Remover for Plastic Bottles

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

%%

Removing wet labels improves the quality of PET/HDPE recycling and reduces processing costs. Typical use in pre-cleaning and pre-wash to improve flake quality and reduce adhesive residue.

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 residue; better washing results and higher product value.

Shrink Sleeves and Stubborn Labels

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

Bottling Plants and Collection Centers

Pre-treatment at the source; lower downstream load 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 basis for high-quality applications and better yield.

How It Works

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

Bottle Input

Plastic bottles enter the machine via the feed system.

Cutting by Blades

Special alloy blades cut and tear labels from the bottles.

Water Jetting

Water jets flush the cut labels into a collection trough.

Bottle Separation

Cleaned bottles are ready for the next recycling stage.

The blades are made of high-quality D2 alloy steel that has been heat treated. This makes them highly effective in cutting various materials, including heavy plastics, textiles, and light metals.

Improved Quality of 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

Integrating label removal and cleaning in one step streamlines the recycling process, leading to lower labor costs and higher throughput for your operations.

Reduced Operating Costs

By improving overall efficiency, our equipment can lower operational 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 handle the most common labels, including paper, plastic, and shrink sleeve labels. For particularly stubborn labels, the parameters may need to be adjusted for optimal results.

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

Our machine is modularly designed 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?

Costs vary per model, but our equipment offers better cost-effectiveness than traditional methods. Over the long term, cost savings generally outweigh the initial investment due to the improved quality of the recycled material.
