ABSTRACT:
A high speed gravity feed can conveyor comprises two facing C-shaped guides formed of hard chrome plated sheet metal. The guides are held in opposed spaced relationship by open U-shaped collars distributed along the conveyor. The collars distributed along the conveyor. The collars are formed with openings positioned downward having sufficient width to pass a can turned from a rolling orientation in the conveyor. The edges of the C-shaped guides are turned in a direction to support a rolling can and are covered with ultra-high molecular weight plastic to minimize rolling friction and protect the metal surface. The facing guide surfaces with chrome plating reduce sliding friction when a can end contacts a guide and reduce the potential for nicking the surface.
