Silverware washing and handling apparatus including a compartment for receiving large quantities of disoriented, mixed silverware which is moved by vibrating means gradually through the compartment in which a system of guide walls acts to orient each piece lengthwise before it passes through a relatively narrow discharge opening where the pieces are dispersed longitudinally so as to be fed to a continuous sorter and end-for-end orienter in a manageable stream. The compartment may be used just to feed clean silverware, or may be fitted with plumbing to wash the silverware. The compartment provides a very compact unit of large capacity by carrying the silverware through an arc of 180 DEG from the compartment's receiving end portion to a discharge opening which is alongside said portion.
