Abstract
Apparatus for stacking bundles of flat-folded corrugated board comprises structure (2) to feed the bundles (B1,B2 etc) in succession to a pick-up position (4), structure (38,60) to transfer the bundles one at a time from the pick-up position to a stacking position (5) so as to create a number of layers to form a stack of bundles at the stacking position, support structure (6) at the stacking position to receive said bundles, structure (12,11) to lower the support structure as the stack is built up, and a programmable controller (94) for automatically controlling the position and orientation at which each bundle is delivered onto the stack so that the bundles form a predetermined pattern in the stack controlled by the controller.
