Abstract (en)
Embodiments of a system and method for singulating articles in an automatic stack feeder are disclosed. The automatic stack feeder has a plurality of belts (120) and at least one paddle (150, 160), a vacuum powered singulation device (140) and a sorting section (180). The automatic stack feeder receives a stack of flats from a container (190), moves the stack along the belts toward the vacuum powered singulation device, and the stack is singulated and sorted.
