ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for handling irregular shaped linear items comprising a hopper for holding a plurality of irregular shaped linear items, and a lifting device operable with the hopper for upwardly removing the items from the hopper. The upward movement of the lifting device rotates the items in the hopper providing a substantially parallel and transverse feed alignment of the items to the lifting device. The apparatus further includes a device to separate and deliver product or items in spaced relationship, and a device for delivering the spaced product to a continuously moving conveyor. The continuously moving conveyor delivers product to a v-shaped trough where the trough angle is selected to provide downward deflection of product or items delivered by the moving conveyor system.
