A conveyance system particularly adapted for food processing utilizes an article handling apparatus including a feed device which is particularly adapted to convey cans in clusters of a predetermined uniform number to a toppler apparatus for manipulating the cans from an axisvertical to an axis-horizontal condition. The feed device utilizes screw elements effective to receive cans from a double row and to merge them into a single row for conveyance to the toppler apparatus. The screw elements while merging the cans into a single row place the cans on a predetermined mutual spacing for unencumbered toppling.
