A system for the separation of panel supports and panels in the production of panels, provides panel supports having head rods to which flexible sieve like members are affixed for supporting the panels. A tiltable platform releases head rods supported thereby onto a rotatable drum having a plurality of clamping positions. The drum is also provided with a transfer station for releasing the clamping means to transfer the head rods and their respective sieve support members to a transfer belt. Control means are provided, whereby panel supports received at the platform are immediately transferred to the drum, and the panel supports are stored on the drum until called for in the manufacturing process, whereupon they are transferred from the drum at the transfer station. |
