Abstract
An unscrambler for randomly arranged cartons includes a power driven conveyor bed having a plurality of separately driven roller sections. The sections are driven at progressively greater speeds from the receiving end to the discharge end. The interface between adjacent sections is along a split line extending at an acute angle relative to the sides of the conveyor bed. Each roller is skewed at an angle relative to the bed frame. A guard rail having a high friction surface extends parallel to the sides of the bed and includes an offset adjacent the last split line.
