ABSTRACT:
In a turning and orienting apparatus of the type adapted to transport capsules in a plurality of pockets or the like, which pockets are formed in a continuously moveable transport conveyor, and wherein said apparatus is further adapted to rectify the capsules, which have body portions and cap portions of greater transverse dimensions than the body portions, and wherein a vacuum is provided to shift the capsules into the desired rectified position, a capsule positioning guide is provided to retain each capsule in its pocket immediately prior to its being subjected to the vacuum. The capsule positioning guide then releases the capsule as it is subjected to the vacuum. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the capsule positioning guide is pivotally mounted adjacent the capsule transport conveyor so that it can be easily moved out of its operative condition adjacent the transport conveyor for easy cleaning thereof.
