Abstract
Apparatus for transporting articles, such as cylindrical containers, between differing elevations by initially moving the articles on an upper surface of a first plenum by air pressure. The articles are then transferred to a moving belt supported on an upper surface of a second plenum and held on said belt by vacuum. A transfer means is provided at the overlap of the first and second plenums to enhance the transfer of the articles between plenum sections.
