Articles, particularly eggs, are conveyed after grading along a moving cup conveyor from which they are selectively deposited at different loading stations according to size. At each loading station the eggs are dropped into different pockets of a collator which is held closed until all its pockets have been filled, when the collator is opened by a cam-released linkage to allow all the eggs in the collator pockets to fall simultaneously into a receptacle resting on a spring impact-resisting platform. |
