ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for transporting articles, such as cylindrical containers, between differing elevations by initially conveying articles onto a foraminous belt, conducting the belt over a first plenum having a curved supporting surface to secure the articles to the belt and the belt to the surface by means of vacuum while transitioning the articles and belt from a level to an inclined orientation, conveying the articles to a differing elevation while inclined by securing the articles between parallel, spaced belts, and again transitioning from an inclined orientation to a level orientation by passing the foraminous belt over a second plenum having a curved supporting surface and securing the articles to the belt and the belt to the surface by means of vacuum during transition from the inclined orientation to the horizontal orientation.
