ABSTRACT:
Automatic bag filler for packaging predetermined numbers of spheroidal or ellipsoidal articles presorted to have substantially the same size and weight. From a bulk product receiving station the articles are conveyed through a singulating zone, thence through a counting station where the articles, in single file, are counted and carried to an inclined chute leading to a product bagging station. The counting mechanism halts the conveyor temporarily just as the last of the predetermined number of articles enters the top of the inclined chute. A blower acts in conjunction with suitably directed vanes to guide a flow of air toward the open end of the topmost one of a stack of bags thereby opening the topmost bag located at the bottom of the inclined chute for the reception of the counted articles. When the conveyor stops, the filled bag containing the predetermined number of articles is transferred to a bag closure station, thence to storage. In the meantime, operation of the conveyor is resumed, starting the next cycle.
