[HumblePie]

In our experience, we used a cut-down upside down 5 gallon bucket, and a toggle bolt connected to a guided air cylinder to pull the bottom disk from the stack, directly into the shooter wheel. Our main feeding issue was that the second disk would nest perfectly over the bottom one, making it tough to pull the bottom one out, causing jams. The fix proved to be a set of wedges, about 3/8" thick and spaced around the inside bottom of the bucket, on the back side, to push the bottom disk forward, toward the shooter wheel. Consistency ensued, and the villagers rejoiced.
