ABSTRACT:
A machine and a method for density packing of cylindrical plastic objects such as caps in layers in rectangular containers. The machine includes an elongated table and a vertical transfer mechanism for the plastic objects located at one end of the table. A loading mechanism is provided at the opposite end of the table to form a row at a time of plastic objects on the table. A pusher bar is provided to move each individual row of plastic objects along the table to an assembly area where a matrix of plastic objects is formed. A second pusher bar is provided to move the assembled matrix of plastic objects to a position under the vertical transfer mechanism. A lifting mechanism is formed as part of the vertical transfer mechanism and is arranged to lift all of the plastic objects simultaneously from the table, lower them into a container, release them in unison to form a layer of objects in the container and to raise itself above the table to await the next assembled matrix of objects being loaded on the table a row at a time. The lifting mechanism is rotated 180.degree. for adjacent layers of objects to prevent nesting of plastic objects in adjacent layers.
