More Information
Summary:A separator unit for sequentially denesting the lowermost container from an upright stack of nested-like containers, each having an outwardly projecting rim at the mouth thereof. The unit includes a first driven rotor with which the rim of the lowermost container has downward engagement along the surface of a segmental ledge extending from the first rotor pending rotation of the rotor through an arc to withdraw the ledge from the rim, and a blade on a second rotor with which the rim of the lowermost container is engaged and gradually pushed downwardly to separate the lowermost container from the stack when the flange of the first rotor is withdrawn from engagement with the rim of the lowermost container. The second rotor is coupled to the first rotor for rotation in unison with the first rotor about a common axis while allowing the second rotor to have limited movement relative to the first rotor along the common axis.
