ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for arranging bags in layers with the sewn end of each bag in each layer facing inwardly of the layer and for depositing each layer on a pallet. Some bags are turned 180.degree. and some bags are turned 90.degree. while the bags are being conveyed to a marshalling station where the bags are gathered sequentially in groups. The first two groups are sequentially moved onto a plate to form a layer of bags having a predetermined pattern. Then, the plate is moved over a pallet and the layer is wiped off the plate over the pallet while the plate is retracted. The next two groups are arranged in a layer having a different pattern and deposited over the pallet in like manner. These steps are repeated several times to quickly deposit eight layers on the pallet with adjacent layers having interlocking patterns. Preferably, 90.degree. turning of a bag is accomplished by blocking movement of the bag on one side near one end while quickly moving a guide member along the other side of the bag toward the other end and then quickly retracting the guide member.
