Cap and Label Removal Techniques in PET Bottle Recycling

A hot melt recycling device for PET injection molded plastic bottles that allows efficient recycling of whole bottles without removing caps. The device has a cleaning unit to remove caps and impurities from the bottles, followed by a hot melt unit to process the cleaned bottles. The cleaning unit uses water spray, baffles, and pneumatic assistance to remove caps and impurities. The hot melt unit crushes the bottles and melts the fragments. The device aims to improve recycling efficiency and quality by cleaning the bottles thoroughly before melting to prevent impurities from affecting the hot melt process.

A plastic bottle recycling system and method to improve efficiency of recycling PET bottles by separating the label and cap before crushing. The system has a sorting device to feed bottles, a positioning device to align them, and a crushing device. The method involves feeding bottles, sorting them to align directions, removing labels and caps, and crushing the separated bodies. This separates different plastic types and prevents contamination during recycling.

A PET bottle recycling machine that automates removing labels from PET bottles to make recycling more efficient. The machine has a feeding plate at the top, followed by a limiting structure with an arc-shaped slot. As bottles enter vertically, they slide down the inner ring plate into the arc-shaped slot. The arc guides the bottles to prevent them from tilting. A hydraulic pump extends a telescopic rod to push the bottles downward. At the bottom, a fitting plate squeezes the bottle bodies to lower them. A cutter head removes the labels as the bottles move. A triangular block collects the labels. The arc-shaped drawer slides out to collect the cut labels. A rotating cover prevents labels from escaping when the drawer is pulled out.

Automated plastic bottle recycling machine that separates bottle caps, bodies, and labels without manual intervention. The machine has a twisting mechanism driven by a transmission that separates the bottle parts. It clamps the bottle, twists it to separate the label, then cuts it off. This automates the separation process compared to manual labor. The transmission mechanism drives the twisting mechanisms to twist the bottle body in opposite directions to separate the label. A cutting mechanism removes the label once it's separated.

Automated recycling machine that separates components from PET bottles and makes them ready for recycling. The machine uses sensors, cameras, and processors to check if bottles are PET and the right color. If not, it drops them back for return. The machine then cuts the neck to separate the bottle from cap and ring. It softens labels to remove them. The separated components go to containers. The machine can also dissolve label adhesive. It has a touchscreen, RFID reader, lighting, and wheels for user interaction, deposit loading, and mobility.

PET bottle recycling device that automates the pre-processing steps of removing caps and labels from PET bottles for recycling. The device uses robotic mechanisms to clamp the bottle, separate the cap, remove the label, and compress the bottle body. It has a clamping claw, screw cap remover, de-labeling mechanism, and compression mechanism. The robotic actions are coordinated using motors, gears, and sensors to efficiently and reliably prepare PET bottles for recycling.

Recycling device for efficiently emptying and processing waste plastic bottles like mineral water bottles to enable automated recycling of plastic bottles with remaining water. The device has features like a conveyor belt to move bottles, a stripping mechanism to remove caps, a lid opening mechanism to access the bottle contents, and a water dumping section to empty the bottles. This allows automated processing of wet bottles without manual draining. The device also has a collection box for the emptied water and a separate box for the raw materials.

A waste plastic bottle recycling system that efficiently processes contaminated plastic bottles for recycling. The system has a machine with a feeding slot, a conveyor, cutting mechanism, and cleaning components. When a bottle is inserted, sensors trigger the machine to clamp, cut, and clean the bottle. The conveyor moves the bottle through stages to separate cap, cut body, and extract impurities. It uses motors, gears, slides, and electromagnets to automate the process. The system can efficiently recycle plastic bottles with impurities by cutting, cleaning, and separating caps.

Recycling process for PET plastic bottles that reduces damage to the bottles during recycling. The process involves separating the label paper from the bottle, peeling off the cap, and shrinking the bottle size. A device inside the recycling machine separates the label paper using a rotating blade. Another device clamps the cap and peels it off. A hot air blower inside the machine shrinks the bottle size. This allows the bottles to be compacted and discharged without getting caught in the machinery.
