The containers are to be filled with items (3) or with a bulk material in a filling station (4) by means of a filling funnel (5). The conveyor section (2) is provided on at least one side immediately before, in and after the filling station (4) with a continuous toothed belt or a chain belt (6) and with a pertaining intermitting actuator (7) and spaced apart container carrying plates (8).
