Apparatus for reorienting and/or stacking products
An apparatus for reorienting and/or stacking products includes a frame and a telescopic infeed associated with the frame. The telescopic infeed has a receiving end and a transfer end. The transfer end is disposed at a first elevation and moveable in a machine direction and in a reverse machine direction. The telescopic infeed advances one or more products in the machine direction; and a landing surface receives the one or more products. The landing surface is disposed in a landing region proximate to the transfer end and at a second elevation. The first elevation is higher than the second elevation. A deflector is operatively engageable with the transfer end, such that the deflector is capable of deflecting a leading end of at least one of the one of more products.

POWDER REMOVAL
A method includes issuing a state change fluid into an internal passage of an additively manufactured article and causing the state change fluid to change from a first state having a first viscosity to a second state that is either solid or has a second viscosity that is higher than the first viscosity within the internal passage. The method can also include causing the state change fluid to change back from the second state to the first state and flushing the state change fluid from the internal passage to remove residual powder from the additively manufactured article.
DEPOSITING TABLE
A depositing table including a depositing device, a displacing device and an air feeding device, the depositing device is moveable by the displacing device between a closed position and an open position and an upper side of the depositing device includes a depositing surface receiving a sack layer. The depositing device is air flowable, an air feeding opening is on a lower side of the depositing device and the depositing surface has an air discharging opening. The air feeding device has an air guiding element with an air outlet opening and a connecting device, the connecting device is arranged between the air outlet opening and the air feeding opening. The connecting device creates a coplanar length compensation between the air outlet opening and the air feeding opening when the depositing device is moved. A palletizing device includes a conveying device with a conveying element and the depositing table.
