An apparatus (1) for loading containers (C) with bags (S), wherein the apparatus (1) is provided with a feed conveyor assembly (4-6), a loading unit, and a control (3) designed for, each time, forming a layer of bags (S) in the loading unit (2), which layer has dimensions substantially corresponding to the bottom dimensions of a container (C) to be filled, and wherein the control (3) is designed such that, each time, the loading unit (2) places a wholly formed layer in the container (C) to be filled. In the method, the bags (S) are oriented in a feed conveyor assembly (4-6) and placed from the feed conveyor assembly (4-6) onto a bottom of a holder of a loading unit (2), wherein, subsequently, when the whole bottom of the holder of the loading unit (2) has been filled with bags (S), this holder is lowered into a container (C) to be filled and the bottom is released when the bottom of the holder is just above the bottom of the container (C) to be filled or a layer of bags (S) present in this container (C). |
