An apparatus for debagging and loading bagged bottles into a production stream is provided with a debagging station and a loading station. The debagging station includes a pair of bristle rollers to grasp the bag flap and a cutting mechanism to sever the flap from the bag and thereby expose the bottles. The loading station includes an infeed table, a take-off conveyor, and an indexing pusher for moving the bottles on the infeed table toward the take-off conveyor. A control system sequentially and repetitively activates the pusher to move the bottles onto the take-off conveyor and activates the take-off conveyor to accelerate the bottles into a production stream.
