Fruit jam is manufactured by vacuum cooking a jam precook and transferring the cooked jam mixture to a post heater/mixer. After sampling and any necessary adjustment the jam mixture is filled into jars in a jar filling machine, the number of jars at an inlet side and at an exit side being counted, compared and the jam filling machine being shut-down if the counts do not correspond. Capped jars are then stagewise cooled and washed and dried in a drying tunnel at a residence time in the tunnel of from 10 to 30 seconds. The jars are then labelled, fed along an inlet lane to first and second filled jar conveyors arranged in side by side relation. The first conveyor delivers filled jars in single file onto the second conveyor at which the jars accumulate for delivery on demand through an outlet lane to a tray erector/loader. Loaded trays are delivered to a separate in-line bar code conveyor on which a bar code is applied to the tray. |
