Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0960814A1] The system includes two conveyor elements (24,25), driven by separate motors (28) along a working stretch (31) between an output point (20) and a transfer point (30). Each element has followers (27) projecting over part of length with uniform spacing. Several pusher elements are arranged at a distance to this spacing at the transfer point and are movable at right angles to the conveying direction (A). Several reception elements are arranged at each conveyor element for receiving packing containers (33). The filled containers are supplied to the output point (20). The products (12) are pushed by the pusher elements in to the container at the transfer point.
