PVC contamination is the “silent killer” of PET recycling. Even a small amount of PVC can ruin an entire batch of rPET during the melting and other recycling process in the PET recycling plants. This is why a high-performance PET bottle de-labeling machine is your first and most important line of defense.

A professional de-labeler uses mechanical friction to peel off labels without breaking the bottles. Our machines achieve a label removal rate of over 98%. The secret? The use of tungsten carbide blades. Unlike standard steel, tungsten carbide offers extreme wear resistance, ensuring the machine maintains its efficiency for months without frequent blade replacements.

By removing labels before crushing, you prevent label scraps from getting mixed into the PET matrix, significantly reducing the burden on your downstream separation tanks and increasing your overall ROI.
