ABSTRACT:
A case packer has an inspection unit, a packing unit and a sorting unit. The inspection unit is disposed on the upstream side of a path of transportation for transporting packaged products and inspects conditions of the products being transported on the path and thereby distinguishes defective products from normal products. The packing unit is disposed on the downstream side and packs a container simultaneously with products delivered to it in a plurality of rows. The sorting unit is disposed between the inspection unit and the packing unit and discharges the defective products away from the normal path of transportation but arranges the normal products in the plurality of rows. The sorting unit uses quasi-circular members with a straight edge. They are rotatable in a plane perpendicular to the path in both directions from a retracted position at which they do not protrude into the transportation path of the products and serve to discharge each of defective products by rotating in one direction. The normal products are arranged in two rows as these quasi-circular members either remain in their retracted positions or rotate in the opposite direction to push the product transversely.
