Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9832659A1] Automatic apparatus for filling containers (3) with individual products, comprising at least a sliding conveyor (2) to transfer said products from an initial station to a final station, at the unloading end of which there is provided a hopper (4); means to operate the conveyor with a reciprocating movement parallelly to the product conveying direction thereof; at least an oscillating support structure (5) for a container, said structure being actuatable on the outlet side of said hopper (4) to move from an initial raised position to successive decreasingly angled positions. The conveyor is capable of accomplishing a forward displacement into the container and a backward displacement during which the products are unloaded in successive layers in the container. As each single layer of products is laid down in the container, the conformation of the layer immediately below is identified and the layer thereon is laid down in such a manner as to compensate for the irregularities in the distribution of the layer therebelow.
