A layer destacking system for destacking layer from stacked layer pallet load, including layer seating platform configured to seat the destacked layer on layer seating platform, conveying surface with conveyance traverse direction traverses the seated destacked layer off layer seating platform, slip sheet detection sensor coupled to layer seating platform and arranged to sense slip sheet in contact with seated destacked layer on uppermost surface and bottom surface of seated destacked layer, slip sheet pickup removal mechanism extending over layer seating platform configured to engage, above layer seating platform, slip sheet contacting one uppermost surface and bottom surface of seated destacked layer controller communicably coupled to slip sheet detection sensor to receive signal from slip sheet detection sensor identifying presence of slip sheet, controller is operably connected to slip sheet pickup removal mechanism to actuate slip sheet pickup removal mechanism engaging slip sheet contacting one uppermost surface and bottom surface.

A suction collection system may include: a heat treatment chamber; a suction chamber disposed downstream of an exit of the heat treatment chamber; a suction nozzle disposed in the suction chamber and configured to suction and collect an object; a first partition disposed between the heat treatment chamber and the suction chamber and configured to perform switching between a communicating state in which the heat treatment chamber and the suction chamber communicate and a non-communicating state in which the heat treatment chamber and the suction chamber do not communicate; a gas replacement chamber disposed downstream of the suction chamber; and a second partition disposed between the suction chamber and the gas replacement chamber and configured to perform switching between a communicating state in which the suction chamber and the gas replacement chamber communicate and a non-communicating state in which the suction chamber and the gas replacement do not communicate.
