ABSTRACT:
A quick change drum for receiving and orienting pellet-like items in a pellet marking machine is disclosed. The quick change drum comprises a central shaft with two end plates perpendicularly attached to the ends of the shaft in parallel spaced apart relationship. A multiplicity of carrier bars are demountably attached to the end plates and span the space between the end plates forming a substantially continuous cylindrical surface. Each carrier bar has at least one concavity, preferably a multiplicity of concavities, disposed in its outwardly facing surface, the concavity or concavities being matched to a particular pellet-like item size and shape. The carrier bars are demountably attached to the end plates, preferably by bolts, but may also be attached by means of quick connect/disconnect devices which allow more rapid and efficient replacement of the carrier bars.
