ABSTRACT:
A distributor apparatus is characterized by having a transfer starwheel with individual pockets which are successively advanced beneath a feeder unit, such as a downstacker mechanism, each pocket in succession receiving an individual can end advanced into the pocket by the downstacker and each end selectively removed from the pocket by application of a differential pressure to the lid when it moves into alignment with a vacuum chute. One or more vacuum chutes may be placed in the path of movement of the pockets of the transfer starwheel to direct the lids into one or more lanes for advancement to another station.
