Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for the removal of labels and foil tags adhering at different levels to containers, in particular, bottles. The bottles are gripped axially between a rotary plate and a gripping head on the circumference of a turntable, each of these is a gripping space. Corresponding to each gripping space, there are high-pressure nozzles located on an inner circumference of the turntable relative to the bottles. Jets of fluid from the nozzles are directed approximately tangentially to the surface of each bottle, so that the jets remove the label and the foil tag in a stripping process, and transport the labels and foil tags radially outward to a collector, which collector is equipped with a separator to separate the labels and foil tags from one another. The removal of labels applied with adhesive is facilitated if there is an anti-adhesive layer on the label between the adhesive layer and the label.
