A system for denesting associated receptacles from a stack, such as a stack of trays, cups or other receptacles is provided, the system including: a pair of bottom supports for holding the stack of receptacles from the bottom of the stack, a first pair of cam discs for at least guiding the pair of bottom supports, a pair of side supports for supporting the stack of receptacles from the sides of the stack, a second pair of cam discs for at least guiding the pair of side supports, a pair of separators for separating a lowermost receptacle from the stack of receptacles and for guiding the lowermost receptable downwards away from the stack, a third pair of cam discs for at least guiding the pair of separators, and a pair of main drive shafts. A method for denesting a stack of receptacles is also provided.

The present disclosure provides a fries box-packing machine, relating to the technical field of food packaging. The fries box-packing machine includes a frame body, a box storage component, and a box-taking mechanism. The box-taking mechanism is arranged on the upper mounting plate, and the box-taking mechanism is configured to sequentially move the paper box of the box storage component below the upper mounting plate. The lifting mechanism of the box-taking mechanism of the fries box-packing machine provided by the present disclosure can elevate the rotating mounting frame, thereby adjusting the height of the suction cup assembly. This allows the suction cup assembly to move the paper box from the upper end of the upper mounting plate to the lower end of the upper mounting plate. When the suction cup assembly attaches to the paper box, the lifting mechanism separates the paper box from the box storage component.

A harvesting system incorporating manual picking to bins at varying heights and positions with an automated accumulation of filled containers in unit loads is disclosed and claimed. The system includes a powered rolling chassis driven between crop rows or lanes. The chassis has an adjustable front-mounted operator platform with controls, allowing one person to operate the system. A container pick-and-place apparatus and a container dispenser are mounted behind the platform to stack full containers in predetermined patterns in the unit load area and supply empty containers to the operator platform. The unit load area at the rear of the chassis has an indexer to allow staging of an empty unit load holder with empty containers for a quick changeover after removing a full load.
