Abstract

A destacker unit for a destacking system is for destacking objects with a flange that are stacked together, such as a stack of trays, containers, cups or other objects. A destacking system includes at least one destacker unit for repeated destacking of one tray at a time in a predetermined direction. A stack of objects each having a flange extending outwards along its perimeter may be destacked in a predetermined direction by rotational motion of the destacker unit. The destacker unit may include a wheel unit, having a threaded rotation axis, including: a lower surface for carrying the stacked objects, and an inclined member located above the lower surface and having an inclined upper surface and a bottom surface. The distance between the upper and bottom surface increases around at least a part of the periphery of the wheel unit. The thread orientation corresponds to the inclination of the surface.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a destacker unit for a destacking system for destacking objects with a flange that are stacked together, such as a stack of trays, containers, cups or other objects. Furthermore, the present disclosure relates to a destacking system comprising at least one of said destacker units for repeated destacking of one tray at a time in a predetermined direction. One embodiment relates to destacker unit for a destacking system such that a stack of objects each having a flange extending outwards along its perimeter is destacked in a predetermined direction by rotational motion of the destacker unit, wherein said destacker unit comprises a wheel unit (4) having a threaded rotation axis (34), said wheel unit (4) comprising: a lower surface (5) for carrying the stacked objects, and an inclined member (6) located above the lower surface, the inclined member having an inclined upper surface and a bottom surface such that the distance between the inclined upper surface and the bottom surface increases around at least a part of the periphery of the wheel unit, and wherein the orientation of the thread corresponds to the inclination of the inclined surface.
