ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and process for transporting and orienting materials which have dissimilar ends, like capsules, to and in a predetermined orientation and position. The apparatus includes two rotatable drums in tangential arrangement. Each drum includes a plurality of peripherally spaced pockets sized and shaped to receive and carry individual capsules. Each drum is provided with an air jet which orients certain preselected capsules from a radial to a longitudinal position with a selected end trailing, and the capsules are then delivered to a conveyor for further processing, like printing, such as spin-printing.
