An apparatus and a process for transferring a product from a filling/weighing machine to a packaging machine which comprises introducing an upright open-topped bowl (30) containing a product into the upper part of one side a hollow drum (10) lacking a continuous peripheral wall adapted to rotate about a substantially horizontal axis to contact a guide (27) within the drum orthogonal to and extending between the sides of the drum and adapted to rotate with the drum, covering the top of the bowl, fixing the bowl to the guide, rotating the drum 180 DEG to invert the bowl, uncovering the top of the inverted bowl and emptying the inverted bowl through the periphery of the wall of the drum, rotating the drum 180 DEG to return the empty bowl to the upright position, releasing the empty bowl from the guide and withdrawing the empty bowl out of a side of the drum. <IMAGE>
