ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for canning food products wherein segmented food product contained in a basin of the apparatus is compressed by a plunger down through a cylindrical bore and into a shuttle pocket. The shuttle pocket contains a pre-determined quantity and mass of the food product which is then transferred to a container. The apparatus can be converted to fill different container sizes with different quantities of the food product due to the provision of interchangeable inserts for passages, e.g. for the cylindrical bore. The shuttle product itself is interchangeable as are the plunger heads. The design for interchangeability of these components is adapted for rapid changeover to different container sizes utilizing quick connect fasteners for the interchangeable components.
