Abstract
A pair of laterally spaced pocketed starwheels, mounted on a common shaft for synchronized rotation, receive and cradle composite fiber cans in a manner so as to preclude distortion of the cans upon movement past a capping station wherein the edge of each can engages an aligned flexible lid which is wiped onto the can end as the end is drawn past an inclined plate by continued movement of the can. A shaft mounted backing plate, laterally spaced from the outermost starwheel, stabilizes the can during the lid mounting operation.
