METHOD OF AND APPARATUS FOR PACKAGING INFUSION PACKAGES

摘要

Infusion packages are produced in a machine (2) and stacked in carriers (6). The carriers (6) are conveyed to a vibration station (18) where the stacks of infusion packages are vibrated by displacing them reciprocally in a vertical direction so as to consolidate them. The carriers are then conveyed to a transfer means (10) where the stacks of packages are transferred into transfer chambers which move the stacks to overlie open-mouthed flat-bottomed, flexible bags (12), into which the packages are deposited. The stacks of packages are urged together so as to interleave or otherwise consolidate them as they are transferred into the transfer chambers.
