Boxes filled with cylindrical containers are positioned and advanced to a reservoir pocket for feeding a filling line conveyor by (a) transferring the boxes, open at the top, into a box tipper comprising unitary top, bottom, back and end sides, having an open front side, and adapted to pivot 180 DEG about the edge formed by the top and back sides, (b) pivoting the box tipper a full 180 DEG to invert the boxes and their contents, (c) transferring the boxes and their contents onto a conveying means, (d) advancing them to a position above a filling conveyor and (e) feeding the containers by gravity from the boxes onto the filling conveyor.
