Abstract (en)
[origin: US4899790A] The filling apparatus for a powdery product, especially for a freeze-dried food product, has a container conveyor for a plurality of containers, a measuring device and a plurality of filling funnels which are placed in the containers. The container conveyor has an entrance portion with a feed belt, a filling zone adjoining it and a delivery belt. A plurality of filling funnels is attached to a continuously circulating chain conveyor and guided in the conveying direction on the forwardly moving strand of a chain conveyor above and close to the container conveyor. A conveying screw driven synchronously with the chain conveyor is located in the entrance portion of the conveying belt. Its conveying helix engages the containers laterally so that the containers are movable with a feed speed corresponding to the conveying speed of the chain conveyor and can be spaced as defined in the spacing between the outlets of the filling funnels. A feeder-weigher used as the measuring device is located in the vicinity of the filling zone above the container conveyor. A continuous product flow is fed to the containers moving past with the conveying speed.
