STF Dry Label Scraper
Description:
The Label Scraper is suitable for removing labels and sleeves of all kinds as well as external dirt from beverage bottles originating from all postconsumer areas.
Function:
The Label Scraper LS removes labels and external dirt from bottles by mechanical friction between cutting elements on a rotating drum and fixed elements in exchangeable housing components. The stator elements can be pre-adjusted for different bottle sizes and can be adjusted if necessary. For doing so, only the outer housing cover has to be removed. The crushed labels and the removed dirt are discharged off the machine together with the bottles and are separated from the material stream over a further ballistics separator
