Label presses for draining and compressing
The bottling and recycling industry produces large quantities of labels, capsules and bottle labels every day. This waste takes up valuable storage space and increases disposal costs. With WEIMA label presses, these materials can be efficiently dewatered and compacted. This reduces the volume of waste by up to 70%. At the same time, valuable liquids such as lye can be recovered cleanly.

Many labels - One WEIMA press!
Labels and labels on glass and plastic bottles come in numerous sizes, shapes and materials. Whether paper labels, plastic labels or aluminum lids – WEIMA dewatering presses can handle them all effortlessly. The machines compress the labels into dry pellets. This saves space and reduces disposal costs. With an optimized volume reduction by WEIMA presses, up to 70% less storage and transport costs can be achieved. The presses are particularly suitable for bottling plants and plastic recyclers who want to dispose of their post-consumer residues and production waste efficiently and sustainably.

Economical disposal of old labels
Dewatering and compacting used labels reduces both the weight and volume of the waste. This significantly reduces disposal costs. At the same time, valuable lye can be recovered and reused. This leads to economical and sustainable disposal. WEIMA presses are not only efficient in waste recycling, but also optimize the entire process of production waste management.

Perfect integration of WEIMA dewatering presses with KHS and Krones
With WEIMA dewatering presses, you can achieve seamless integration into the production process by connecting them directly to KHS and Krones systems. This enables efficient dewatering and compaction of labels and tags directly during production. Liquid residues from the labels are removed immediately, drastically reducing the volume of waste. This means that your filling and packaging processes remain undisturbed, while you benefit from considerable cost savings and a clean production environment.
