Abstract
A rotor provided with a plurality of air holes therethrough is driven by a vertically mounted shaft. The rotor is disposed beneath a stator provided with two plenums or manifolds on opposite sides thereof. One plenum is pressurized while the other plenum is maintained at a reduced pressure. The rotor is positioned above a bottle line which conveys bottles having tape thereon which must be removed prior to filling the bottles. The vacuum plenum causes the tape to be lifted from the bottles and drawn against the rotor. As the rotor turns it reaches the pressurized plenum where reverse air flow causes the tape to drop into a collecting receptacle.
