ABSTRACT:
An object is to provide a liquid-removing apparatus capable of sufficiently removing liquid adhering to packaging material (11). The liquid-removing apparatus includes a packaging material (11) having a projection formed at a predetermined position; first and second squeeze rollers (23, 33) which form a squeeze portion (P1) for removing liquid adhering to the packaging material (11); and an elastic body. The second squeeze roller (33) has main roller portions (53, 54) and a retractable roller portion (55) which retracts when the projection reaches the squeeze portion (P1). The elastic body urges a tubular sleeve (64) provided on the retractable roller portion (55) toward the packaging material (11). When the projection reaches the squeeze portion (P1) during transportation of the packaging material (11), the sleeve (64) is pushed by the projection and thereby decentered, so that the retractable roller portion (55) is retracted. As a result, interference between the projection and the second squeeze roller (33) is prevented, and the packaging material (11) can be nipped by the first and second squeeze rollers (22, 33).
