Abstract
A plastic bottle processing apparatus includes: an apparatus body having a conveying path section in which a plastic bottle is conveyed; and a label separating unit arranged in a middle of the conveying path section so as to separate a label from the plastic bottle. The label separating unit includes: a label cutting member that cuts the label of the plastic bottle, which is conveyed in the conveying path section along the axial direction of the plastic bottle; a heating member that heats the label cut by the label cutting member; and a brush member disposed so as to be able to make contact with the label heated by the heating member and remove the label from the plastic bottle body by making contact with the label.
