Abstract
A pan unstacker includes an elevator for lifting a stack of pans as it is depleted to position the top pan in a pick up position and a magnetic lift for engaging the lips of the top pan and raising the pan to a magnetic discharge conveyor. The unstacker is manually adjustable to accommodate different size pans through the use of threaded adjustment shafts and elevator and lift drives connecting fixed drive motors on the unstacker frame to moveable elevators and lift heads.
