Label presses for draining and compressing

With hydraulic WEIMA presses, plastic and aluminum labels or caps of glass and plastic bottles are not only drained by up to 70%, but also reduced in volume.

Especially bottling plants and plastic recyclers can find a sustainable solution for the cost-effective disposal of labels and label waste from their own production or post-consumer waste.

Many labels – one WEIMA press

Labels on glass and plastic bottles are available in numerous sizes, shapes, colors and materials. But one thing unites them: WEIMA machines compress them into discs.

It doesn’t matter whether you want to press body labels, breast labels, metal or PVC capsules, strip labels or back labels made of paper, PE film or aluminum foil. We have the right drainage solution for every beverage label.

Glas bottles can have a variety of different labels

Pressing of golden closing caps

The old-established Rothaus brewery also relies on WEIMA compaction technology. With an individual machine solution, used metal foil capsules made of aluminum are not simply disposed of, but compressed into compact discs.

Economic disposal of old labels

By draining and compressing the labels, the weight and volume can be significantly reduced. This also reduces disposal costs. In addition, valuable lye can be recovered.
