A container or array of containers that is are sealed with a peelable sea l is transported via a conveyor along a processing path toward a desealing s tation at which an adhesive surface having a width substantially the same as or greater than the width of the seal is pressed against the upper surface of the peelable seal. A collection rod applies a downward pressure on the ad hesive surface, pressing it against the seal and keeping the container or co ntainer array in position on the conveyor as the plate moves with the convey or. As the leading edge of the seal passes the collection rod, the adhesive surface is rolled upward, away from the plane of the seal, pulling up on the leading edge of the seal to separate it from the container or container arr ay while the container or container array is held down by the roller. The re moved seal is then discarded. |
