Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0018733A1] A method and apparatus for de-stacking of stacked cardboard lids (1) having a pressed rim bead. The lids (1) in a magazine (2) are lifted, preferably by a suction device (11). Superfluous lids (1a) accidentally carried up with the uppermost lid (1) are separated by deforming the rim bead. In one apparatus the deformation is carried out by a set of resiliently mounted conical rollers (23).
