Abstract of the Disclosure A method for supplying individually to a processing station, such as a banding station, metal coils which are provided in groups of adjacent side-by-side coils, wherein the groups are placed on a conveyor line in following order with the coils in each group stacked vertically, conveyed to a separating station in turn, and destacked by mechanically lifting from the top of each group, carrying forwardly, and depositing on the conveyor line at a depositing station individual coils of the group successively, while the group is stationary, and the deposited coils are conveyed forwardly towards the processing station. Following groups are accumulated on the conveyor line in advance of the separating station while a group of coils is stationary on the separating section for destacking thereof. A group of annular coils is oriented on a supporting conveyor section at the separating station prior to destacking, by inserting a stop member into the group through the openings in the coils and into abutting engagement with the rear portions of the inner wall surfaces of the coils, while driving the conveyor section. Apparatus includes a horizontal conveyor line having successive accumulating, separating, and depositing conveyor sections leading forwardly from a leading station towards a processing station, power drive means actuatable for driving each of the conveyor sections independently of the others, a lifting head operatable to engage the top coil of a group of coils on the separating section for the purpose of lifting the coil off of (Abstract of the Disclosure - continued) the remainder of the group, and to deposit the coil therefrom, means for operating the lifting head, means for moving the lifting head up and down over the conveyor line, and means for moving the lifting head back and forth between the separating section and the depositing section.
