Destacking system for cardboard blanks

A method of destacking cardboard blanks, the method comprising:

• providing a first destacker comprising a first stacking magazine for accommodating a first stack of cardboard blanks, a first retaining system for retaining the cardboard blanks at a first stacking position, and a first conveying unit;
• providing a second destacker comprising a second stacking magazine for accommodating a second stack of cardboard blanks, a second retaining system for retaining the cardboard blanks at a second stacking position, and a second conveying unit;
• providing a deposition unit having a first deposition position and a second deposition position;
• gripping a first cardboard blank of the first destacker at the first stacking position by a first gripper of the first conveying unit and conveying the first cardboard blank to the first deposition position;
• and
• gripping a second cardboard blank of the second destacker at the second stacking position by a second gripper of the second conveying unit and conveying the second cardboard blank to the second deposition position;
• wherein a minimum distance between a first receiving side of the first stacking magazine and a first receiving side of the second stacking magazine is larger than a minimum distance between a first deposition area at the first deposition position and a second deposition area at the second deposition position.

A destacking system for cardboard blanks, comprising:

• a deposition unit for cardboard blanks with a first deposition position and a second deposition position;
• a first destacker comprising a first stacking magazine for accommodating a first stack of cardboard blanks, a first retaining system for retaining the cardboard blanks at a first stacking position, and a first conveying unit with a first gripper configured to grip a first cardboard blank of the first destacker at the first stacking position and convey the first cardboard blank to the first deposition position;
• and
