ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus (10) for automatically removing inverted container ends (24) from a longitudinally moving stick (20) of nestable container ends (22) is provided. Inverted ends (24) are ejected from the stick (20) through an outlet as a path direction of the stick (20) changes. The change in path direction can be due to a protrusion (36) extending into the path or a curve (14) in a stick guide assembly (34). The apparatus (10) reduces the likelihood of that inverted ends (24) will enter processing machinery and reduces processing line down time.
