System for removing packaging film from article

The present invention relates to a packaging film removal system for removing packaging film from an article, the packaging film being for packaging an article having a length-directional axial line, and being wrapped around the circumference of the article and having an open first end portion which wraps around a first length-directional end portion of the article, and a closed second end portion which wraps around a second end portion facing the first end portion of the article. The removal system of the present invention comprises: a transfer conveyor which supports a plurality of articles, each packaged in the packaging film, in a state where the axial lines of the articles are parallel to each other, and transfers the articles in a direction perpendicular to the axial lines of the articles; an adsorption mechanism which suctions the first end portions of the respective packaging films along the direction of the axial lines of the articles; and a clamp mechanism which clamps the first end portions of the respective packaging films suctioned by the adsorption mechanism.
