The apparatus comprises a multiplicity of bag pickup and release means mounted about a rotational axis. A bag storage and feed means is provided for feeding a plurality of bags to the bag pickup and release means, positioned at a bag pickup station adjacent to the generally arcuate path defined by the rotating pickup and release means. The apparatus further comprises a combined gripping and valve opening means for gripping the bag and effecting the opening of the valve of the bag and simultaneously releasing the bag from the pickup and release means. The gripping and valve opening means is further comprized of conveyance and activating means for conveying the gripping and valve opening means, mounting the bag on a spout of a filling machine, ungripping the bag and returning to the bag release station, positioned adjacent to the generally arcuate path of the pickup and release means. The apparatus further comprizes a means to align the gripping and valve opening means with the spouts of either a stationary or rotary type filling machine.
The bag pickup and release means rotates past the bag pickup station, enters the bag's bottom fold, transports the bag to the bag release station, inserts the bag in the gripping and valve opening means, affects release from the pickup and release means, mounts the bag on the spout and repeats the cycle.
