ABSTRACT:
A container filling machine has a conveyor assembly arranged for transporting articles to an elevated loading station at which is disposed a box or other suitable receptacle to be filled with the articles. The receptacle is raised to the loading station by an elevator device which lowers the receptacle as a function of articles placed in the container by a discharge portion of the conveyor assembly. A control system includes a sensor mounted on an area of the discharge portion of the conveyor assembly which is inserted into the receptacle being filled for discharging the articles from within the receptacle so as to actuate the elevator device upon detection by the sensor of the presence of articles within the receptacle up to a level immediately adjacent the sensor. By this arrangement, the distance the articles must fall when passing from the conveyor system to the receptacle is kept at a practical minimum so as to prevent damage to the articles.
