A delabeler (11) provides a conveyor (12) which sandwiches a series of containers (13) to positively rotatably move such containers through a plurality of processing stations. A strip brush section (31) includes a series of stations (32-35) each including a plurality of rotating brushes (53-55) located within specific planes and operated to completely remove the container labels. A scrub brush section (101) includes a similarly constructed series of scrub brush stations (102-105) which completely remove adhesive residue from the containers. A series of stations (27, 28, 100, 106) spaced throughout the delabeler provide a series of vertically spaced pulsating jets (29) of non-caustic fluid to the containers while an initial drenching station (25) preconditions the labels prior to further processing and a drying station (107) provides a completely dry and clean container following the delabeling.
