A bin filling apparatus wherein an empty bin is moved into position above a submerging tank filled with water. The tank is moved upwardly to totally submerge the bin, and apples are allowed to flow into the tank by means of a flow tube which allows the apples to be delivered beneath the surface of the water in the tank and above the bin whereby they float upwardly and are collected in a compact nested mass within a fixed fruit collector structure directly overlying the bin. When a sufficient number of apples have been thus collected the tank is lowered, and the collected fruit is deposited in the bin as a single unit without substantial disruption. The full bin is removed and replaced with an empty bin, and the process can then be repeated.
