HURST PATENTED 'DL' SERIES LABEL DELAMINATING MACHINES

Hurst patented 'DL' series label delamination machines provide a method for removing pressure sensitive labels from plastic bottles and aluminum canisters.

Method of Operation

Hurst 'DL' series machines employ a high technology pressure sensitive tape to instantly bond to the top printed surface layer of a pressure sensitive label. As the tape is removed, the top printed surface layer of the label delaminates from the label's bottom adhesive layer.

In a typical 3-layer paper pressure sensitive label, a micro-thin skin of the labels middle pulp layer and the entire bottom adhesive layer remain. This residue is assimilated into the adhesive layer of a new secondary label. (normally a slightly larger, wraparound, overlapping label) No trace of the first label is evident.

In a typical 2-layer film type label (PVC or Mylar) Hurst delamination tape ideally removes both the top printed layer and the bottom adhesive layer as an integral unit.

Hurst 'DL' series label removing machine effectiveness is dependent on several factors:

1. Surface coating of top printed label layer
2. Bonding properties of the middle pulp layer
3. Adhesive properties of the labels bottom layer

Hurst DL machines are custom built to meet applications. Typically, DL machines are simple, inexpensive and readily available.

Hurst delaminating tape features a 2 mil flood coated hot melt adhesive (pstc test #1 rating:90) as laid on a tough polyester film. Any roll width is available.
