The automated board or leg board flipper is used to take empty boards leg boards from the packaging line and place them upside down on top of filled molds at the beginning of the demold line. This allows automating the transfer by the junction between the end of the packaging line and the beginning of the demold line. Therefore, eliminating the need of handling stacks of empty boards or leg boards with forklifts. In addition, the flipper eliminates the need for a stacker and a destacker.
