Carton dispensing system removing containers from stack - removes bottom container to feed it to horizontal conveyor

摘要

The dispenser is able to handle stacks of containers which fit into each other in stack. The stack (24) is placed in channel which is moved upright by means of the jack (24B). The stack is supported at the base by a fork (27) fitted to the end of a jack (32). The bottom container is removed from the stack and dropped onto the pad (26) which lowers the container and feeds the containers individually onto the horizontal rack (16). The sequence is repeated in steps until the entire stack is disposed of. The control system is pneumatic and the pads operate under vacuum.
