The receiver unit (2) is moved over the container. (2) includes a swinging lever (22) with scoop (21) which picks up the fruit (or other food portion) in a second stage, as it is swung to dip into the container. The fruit is lifted up and out. In the third stage, a cover (32) and the scoop move relatively, to close it (21). The unit is moved over the packaging (11) (or other receiver) and the scoop is swung back. Finally the cover is opened, permitting the food to fall into the packaging. The container is lifted before scooping, and lowered after it. Alternatively it is vibrated during scooping. The cover includes a frame, which part-surrounds the opening. The cover is passed over the scoop from below, so that the food is pushed into it. A funnel (25) is used to guide the falling food into the packaging. The food may be aligned, optically inspected, and/or heated in the process. A slide optionally assists precise supply into the packaging. An independent claim is included for corresponding equipment. |
