Abstract
A system for removing a product-packing film from a product having an axis in a longitudinal direction. The packing film surrounds lateral portions of the product. A first end of the packing film surrounding a first longitudinal end of the product is open. A second end of the packing film surrounding a second end of the product opposite the first end of the product is closed. In the system, a conveyor carries a plurality of products each packed with a packing film in a direction perpendicular to the axes of the products while supporting the products such that the axes of the products are parallel to each other. A suction unit draws the first end of the packing film in an axial direction of each of the products. A clamping unit clamps the first end of the packing film drawn by the suction unit.
