ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a new and useful apparatus for filling cartons with pre-packaged bags of a product from a Bag Form Fill and Seal Machine. The apparatus comprises, in combination, a horizontal feeder that transfers the bags to a vertical flite conveyor; said conveyor conveying the bags to a hopper having a trap door. A carton is positioned under the trap door of the hopper for receiving the bags. When a pre-set number of bags have passed through the hopper into the carton, the trap door closes. The carton, while it is being filled, is continually subjected to a series of impacts that enables the bags to lay flat within the carton. When the carton receives the pre-set number of bags, the impacting ceases and the carton is transferred to an output conveyor.
