  • Patent number: 3937336
    Abstract: A conveying system for conveying cans from a can-making machine to a can-filling machine includes a first conveyor to supply cans from the can-making machine to the filling machine and a second conveyor or supplemental feed conveyor at right angles with a first conveyor to convey excess cans made by the can-making machine to a palletizing apparatus which includes pattern-forming means and a pallet elevator. When the flow of cans exceeds the requirements of the can-filling machine, the cans are diverted from the can-filling machine, patterned, and palletized in layers in the pallet elevator. When the can-making machine is not supplying the requirements of the can-filling machine, or the can-making machine is shut down, stored cans are depalletized and conveyed onto the first conveyor. If the making machine is operating slower than the requirements of the filling machine, the second conveyor provides a supplemental feed of cans to the first conveyor.
