ABSTRACT:
Products which are somewhat self-supporting are carried in tandem on a first conveyor toward a second conveyor with an edge of the product transverse to the direction of travel. When each product reaches the point of transfer between conveyors, it is transferred downwardly on edge onto the second conveyor and the products are reverse-shingled in batches on edge in a partially upright fashion on the second conveyor. Each batch of products is then moved on the second conveyor on edge by a loader for insertion into a container or for transfer to another device for further processing or handling. When inserted into a container, a wall of the container is temporarily bowed inwardly to guide the products while they are being loaded into the container.
