HURST LABEL REMOVAL SYSTEMS

The Hurst Corporation has specialized in label removal systems for over twenty years. From the original patents issued in the mid-seventies, recent patents issued in 1992, 1995, and 1997 have furthered label removal technology to a highly advanced and reliable level.

The Hurst Corporation is a custom designer and builder of label removal machinery. The Hurst "Labelstripper" machine is the world standard for label removal in the pharmaceutical and diagnostics industries. The HURST LABELSTRIPPER automatically removes both label and adhesive from 600 glass bottles per hour with one operator. Glass size range: 1ml to 200ml. (250 ml Optional).

The LS200C, our seventh generation LABELSTRIPPER is a compact, vertical lathe with specially designed, non-scratching, air-cushioned blades that follow the exact contours of spinning glass bottles, removing both label and adhesive as an integral unit.
