Dai-ichi Sheet Metal's "Bottle Friend LSE" for peeling off labels without crushing plastic bottles.jpg

Daiichikin (Tsuzuki-ku, Yokohama) has developed a new model "LSE (Label Separator)" in its "Bottle Friend" series of devices that automatically remove labels from PET bottles.

The device consists of a cylindrical "outer cylinder" and a rotating octagonal "inner cylinder" inside the outer cylinder.
