How the Wet Label Remover Works
In modern plastic recycling operations, efficiency and material purity are paramount. Our industrial wet label remover leverages a combination of mechanical action and high-pressure water flushing to achieve label removal rates exceeding 95%. The process begins as bottles enter the unit, where medium-speed rotation and specialized peeling mechanisms work in tandem to dislodge labels and residual caps. Simultaneously, high-pressure water jets thoroughly cleanse each container, eliminating sand, dirt, and other fine contaminants.
This system is engineered to handle various bottle sizes and materials, ensuring consistent performance across diverse recycling streams. By integrating this technology into your PET bottle washing line, you significantly reduce impurities in your output material, leading to higher-quality recycled PET flakes suitable for premium applications.
Key Features and Technical Specifications
Durable Imported Alloy Knife Teeth: Equipped with sharp, hard alloy claw-shaped knives, welded with copper for enhanced durability. The extensive welding area guarantees structural firmness and operational stability, even under continuous high-demand conditions.
Wear-Resistant and Replaceable Components: The friction teeth plate and screw are manufactured from high-grade, wear-resistant materials. These components are designed for easy replacement, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
Automatic Gap Adjustment: The machine intelligently adjusts the gap between knives and friction elements based on bottle dimensions. This ensures optimal contact and stripping efficiency for containers of various sizes, maximizing label removal rates.
Critical Pre-Cleaning Stage: This unit specializes in separating a wide range of label materials—including PVC, PET, and paper—from plastic bottles. It serves as an indispensable preliminary stage before crushing and deep washing, drastically improving the efficiency of downstream processes.
Engineered for High-Volume Processing: Designed to integrate seamlessly with complete washing lines from ASG Machine, this remover handles high throughput demands, making it ideal for large-scale recycling facilities and international export operations.
Industry Applications and Benefits
Wet label removers are essential in PET bottle recycling lines, serving municipal recycling facilities, private waste management companies, and plastic reprocessing plants globally. Their ability to efficiently delabel and pre-clean containers translates to:
- Higher purity levels in final recycled material
- Reduced wear on downstream crushing and washing equipment
- Lower water and energy consumption due to optimized cleaning
- Increased overall line efficiency and output quality
