Abstract

PURPOSE:To decrease the seating cost and transportation cost of package boxes and to prevent injuries of products during transportation. CONSTITUTION:A plurality of flanged products 1 are transferred to a receiving stand 4, and supported in parallel with flanges 1c provided in the righthand and lefthand directions of the product 1 (or flanges 1b provided in the forward and reaward directions of the product 1) meeting in contact with each other. Then, a product elevating means 8 is driven to change height of each flanged product 1, so that it has a different height from its adjacent one to make the flange 1c come out of contact. Next, a product laterally travelling means 19 is driven to make the flanged products 1 travel in an approaching direction, so that the flanges 1 are piled on. Next, a product stacking means 10 to 12 are driven to stack the flanged products 1 by a unit of the plural number.
