METHOD AND DEVICE FOR REMOVING LABEL OR CARRIER FROM VESSEL

摘要

Apparatus for removing labels from cylindrical cans involves the use of air jets which are directed by nozzles between the label and the can. The jets have sufficient force to rupture the label. An exhaust fan draws air around the can to draw the ruptured label away from the can. While the apparatus is best suited to remove sleeve like labels which are not adhesively secured to the can at least partial removal of labels which are adhesively secured to the can may be achieved.
