Granted.
Disclosed is a molded article conveyance apparatus (MACA) configured to convey a plurality of molded articles away a molding machine. The MACA includes a collection of row-dedicated queuing conveyors, wherein each row-dedicated queuing conveyor is configured to convey a portion of the plurality of molded articles away from the molding machine. The MACA also includes a sequential shunting conveyor configured to selectively move from one row-dedicated conveyor to another. The sequential shunting conveyor is also configured to receive and convey molded articles away from successively selected row-dedicated queuing conveyors.
