Abstract
A re-stacker assembly used to stack container closures that are output by a can liner system includes at least one offloading assembly having a receiving portion, at least one loading device coupled to the offloading assembly, and a motion control system for detecting motion of the container closures and, in response to detecting such motion, driving the loading device to stack, or re-stack, the container closures in a predetermined manner.
Claims18
A re-stacker assembly comprising:
- at least one offloading assembly having a receiving portion structured to receive a plurality of individually unstacked container closures;
- at least one loading device coupled to the offloading assembly;
- and
- a motion control system structured to detect motion of said container closures and in response to detecting said motion, drive the loading device to stack said container closures in a predetermined manner.

A can liner system comprising:
- a liner machine for lining a plurality of container closures;
- a conveyor system for conveying said plurality of container closures in an individually unstacked orientation from the liner;
- and
- a re-stacker assembly comprising:
- at least one offloading assembly disposed adjacent the conveyor system and including a receiving portion structured to receive said individually unstacked container closures from the conveyor system,
- at least one loading device coupled to the offloading assembly, and
