Plastic Bottle Label Removal Machine
Meet EU recycling standards with Rumtoo’s dry label remover—engineered to strip paper and shrink labels from PET and HDPE bottles while keeping breakage below 1%.
- Claw-style alloy knives
- Up to 98% removal on round bottles
- Low-noise design (≤80 dB)
Engineered for European Recycling Lines
The dry plastic bottle label removal machine uses mechanical claws to peel labels without water, making it an ideal upgrade for PET and HDPE lines targeting high-purity output. Whether you process round bottles or compressed bales, the rotor delivers consistent removal while protecting the bottle body.
- Handles uncompressed round bottles and compressed bales with minimal adjustment.
- Reduces downstream washing time by removing surface paper and sleeves early.
- Meets strict EU noise and safety requirements with enclosed housing and emergency stop.
Dry rotor claw system removes labels before granulation.
Key Benefits
Boost line efficiency and final flake purity with robust dry label removal.
High Removal Rates
Achieves up to 98% removal on round bottles and 90% on compressed bottles in a single pass.
Durable Structure
Carbon-steel drum with wear-resistant alloy blades delivers long service life and lower maintenance.
Integrated Label Collection
Standard label collection at the air outlet keeps the work area clean and captures separated sleeves.
How the Dry Label Remover Works
Mechanical claws, airflow, and smart discharge keep bottles moving through the rotor.
Bottles enter the rotating drum. Auger-style flights orient and move them forward.
Jagged alloy claws scrape, cut, and peel labels while directing fragments toward the outlet.
Labels exit via the air outlet and are captured by the standard collection device; bottles continue to crushing.
Design Highlights
Built for continuous recycling lines with quick maintenance and strong safety measures.
Modular Blade Package
Blades are grouped in modules for fast replacement or rotation; lubrication system protects bearings from dust.
Low Noise Operation
Enclosed housing, balancing, and vibration control keep noise ≤80 dB, satisfying EU workplace limits.
Safety & Emergency Stop
Emergency start-stop button and alarm device provide immediate response to jams or overloads.
Carbon Steel Barrel
Heavy-duty carbon steel drum resists deformation when running compressed bottles or heavy contamination.
Applications
A perfect fit for producers targeting premium recycled PET or HDPE flakes.
PET Recycling Plants
Remove sleeves before crushing to reduce label contamination.
Integrated Washing Lines
Install before cold/hot wash stages to improve water quality and reduce chemical use.
MSW Sorting Centers
Process mixed bales rapidly with minimal bottle damage.

Operation & Maintenance Tips
Keep removal rates high with these quick practices.
Before Start-up
- Inspect blades and fastening bolts.
- Check lubrication points and seal integrity.
- Clear the label collection chute and ensure airflow.
During Operation
- Feed bottles evenly to avoid overloading the rotor.
- Monitor the label discharge stream to verify separation.
- Respond to alarms promptly and use the emergency stop if needed.
Routine Care
- Sharpen or replace blades after 300–500 hours.
- Inspect bearings and lubrication system weekly.
- Remove accumulated label dust to maintain airflow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the machine handle both PET and HDPE bottles?
Yes. The rotor claws adapt to PET beverage bottles, HDPE household bottles, and mixed bales without changing tooling.
What maintenance do the blades require?
Blades are modular. Inspect every 300–500 hours, resharpen as needed, and replace when wear exceeds tolerances.
How does the label collection system work?
Separated labels exit via an air outlet and are captured in the standard collection box, preventing contamination of clean bottles.
Is dust a concern with the dry process?
Enclosed housing and integrated collection minimize airborne dust. Optional extraction ports can connect to your dust filter system.
