摘要

A method and apparatus for packaging products in containers while the containers are continuously moving along a path is disclosed herein. The containers are sequentially dropped from a nested stack towards an apertured conveyor that defines the path for the containers and a negative pressure is produced below the conveyor to assist in drawing the containers into the apertures of the conveyor. The conveyor moves the containers to a filling station where the product is flowed into the containers at several different locations, so that the containers are filled in stages while being moved by the conveyor. The filled containers then progress to a cover applying station and are preferably arranged in at least a pair of rows with a continuous web of heat sealable cover film heat sealed to the filled containers at the cover applying station.
