ABSTRACT:
Herein described is an automated machine for filling a carton or crate with containers such as liquid filled plastic bottles. The machine includes a filling station, a stand having a conveyor line sequentially feeding empty cartons to the filling station and a conveyor line sequentially removing filled cartons from the filling station. The conveyor line to the filling station is substantially higher in elevation than the conveyor line from the filling station. A ramp interconnects the two conveyor lines and is positioned directly under the filling station. Empty cartons from the higher conveyor line are allowed to slide down the ramp on suitable tracks onto the lower conveyor line. Appropriate stop mechanism timed with mechanism in the filling station cause the carton being filled to stop at selected positions in order to be filled with bottles. A feed conveyor line sequentially supplies bottles to the filling station and onto a platform positioned directly over the ramp and empty cartons disposed therein. A feed rack comprising a U-shaped member is disposed directly over the platform and as a predetermined number of bottles are disposed within the U-shaped feed rack it is moved angularly, sliding the bottles from the platform into the waiting carton. Means timed with the position of the carton then sequentially moves the carton to a second (or third) position and the feed rack is moved to receive a second plurality of bottles. The sequence is then repeated for each carton position.
