How the Dry Label Remover Works
The dry label remover from ASG Machine represents a significant advancement in PET bottle recycling technology, designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern recycling operations. This innovative machine efficiently separates labels from PET bottles through a precisely engineered mechanical process that maximizes throughput while minimizing energy consumption.
As PET bottles enter the feeding mouth, strategically positioned sharp, hard alloy knives make precise incisions into the labels. These specialized blades are welded onto the central spindle at an optimized angle that ensures maximum cutting efficiency while minimizing wear. The spindle rotates with a helical motion that simultaneously conveys bottles toward the discharge end while the cutter blades systematically peel labels from the container surfaces.
The separation process utilizes innovative wind energy technology to automatically separate bottles from their labels without water consumption, making it an environmentally sustainable solution. This dry process eliminates the need for wet separation methods, reducing water usage and wastewater treatment requirements while maintaining exceptional separation efficiency exceeding 95% in most applications.
