<p>This invention relates to a machine to ensure that the amount of food product (26) in a can meets the volume and weight standards without altering the natural characteristics of the product necessary for the market. The invention encompasses a combination of scrapers or sweepers (32, 34, 36, 39, 50, 52) and a primary pocket turret assembly (10) and including a rotating cylinder body having sweeper blades (40) positioned thereon in a helical form so the amount of food product in associated cavities (14) in the rotating table meets weight, volume, and product appearance standards. In addition, pneumatic cylinders (20) and cam-driven cylinders (24) from below compress the product in the device prior to the final leveling accomplished by the rotating helical sweepers (40).</p> |
