A pin oven stripper for removing can bodies having bases from a moving pin conveyor at a vertical inclined flight of the pin conveyor. The stripper comprises a drive sprocket, an idler wheel and a vacuum conveyor chain composed of plastic links. The chain is trained around the drive sprocket and idler. A carrying way guides the vacuum chain from the idler to the drive sprocket first along a vertical inclined flight parallel to the path of the pin conveyor in close proximity to the bases of the can bodies, then along a vertical flight for effecting removal of cans from the pin conveyor, the can bodies being removably secured to the chain by suction supplied through apertures in the links, and then along a curved flight extending to a horizontal flight terminating at the drive sprocket. The chain further has as a characterizing feature thereof a substantially free hanging return flight extending from the drive sprocket to the idler, which enables high speed operation at speeds in excess of 1500 cans per minute.
