ABSTRACT:
Successively formed cans or cups are quickly and smoothly removed from beneath the lower die shoe of a high speed forming press by an elongated dual lane stainless steel air conveyor having closely spaced upper and lower parallel walls defining an air chamber therebetween. A blower supplies air to the discharge end portion of the conveyor, and the inner end portion of the conveyor top wall defines two cup receiving zones adjacent corresponding outlets formed by upwardly projecting air deflecting hoods. Each hood directs a high flow of air horizontally across the adjacent receiving zone and longitudinally along the top conveyor wall to move each cup quickly from the receiving zone. Longitudinal extending parallel ribs project upwardly from the top wall for each lane, and a set of louvered slots are formed within the top wall between the ribs to maintain the linear and uniform flow of the cups to the discharge end of the conveyor. A single blower may supply air to a plurality of either single or multiple lane air conveyors.
