Abstract

See full text

The method for removing a sealing film from a container includes use of a gripping device having a fixed lower jaw and a mobile upper jaw and comprises carrying out following steps: a first gripping step, in which the gripping device clamps the flap of film projecting from a rounded corner of the container; a step of partial detachment, in which the gripping device detaches only a portion of the film which is at the rounded corner; an adjusting step in which the mobile upper jaw is distanced from the fixed lower jaw and the gripping device is moved so as to capture, between the two jaws, a larger surface of film; a second gripping step in which the upper jaw lowers and locks against the lower jaw to grip the surface of film, and a complete detaching step, in which the gripping device performs complete detachment of the film.
