ABSTRACT:
An automatic filling machine for forming, sizing, transferring and inserting a food product portion into a container. The machine has forming chambers that are expandable to facilitate receiving a food product in bulk and are contractible to define a column having a cross section mating that of a container to be filled. The chamber is expanded to receive a quantity of a food product that is to be inserted into a container. The chamber is contracted to form the food product received therein into a column as defined by the contracted chamber. An upper plunger is provided to force and compress the formed food product column into a sizing apparatus. A pressure switch controls the compressive force applied to the food product column to provide consistency between sized portions of the food product. The machine is operable under single cycle or continuous cycle mode and is arranged to insert a single sized portion into a container, to insert multiple portions into a container and to insert portions of different food products into a single container. The operation of machine is controlled by a programmable controller.
