Apparatus for packaging bulk material

摘要

A method and apparatus for packing of bulk materials. The bulk material is measured in portions and dispensed into a fill pipe. Suction probes are provided for evacuating the entrapped gas from the bulk material while in the fill pipe. The fill pipe is then lowered against a stop to suddenly jar the fill pipe to effect a release of the gas-free bulk material into a tubelike container. Thereafter, the top of the tubelike container is sealed closed and lowered into a bag and delivered to a station whereat the bag is sewn closed.
