Abstract (en)
[origin: CA2414662A1] A system for forming and packaging loose particulate material utilizing a compression tower (100) for initial deposit of the loose material therein wi th the bottom floor of said tower being presented by a belt (310) of a conveyor system (300). A ram within the tower compresses the loose material into a bu lk form (1000) atop the conveyor belt (310). Subsequent to compression, the conveyor system (300) is vertically displaced so that the formed material bu lk can be conveyed to a horizontally adjacent conveyor (550) for downstream conveyance to a packaging station (550) having upper (700) and lower (600) conveyor assemblies. The material bulk (1000) is then recompressed and conveyed to a space formed between the upper and lower assemblies. Sheets of packaging material (800a, 802a) spans portions of upper and lower conveyor assemblies such that the material bulk is directed through the sheet and enveloped thereby. Packaging material which envelopes the bulk material is c ut and thermally sealed leaving the packaging sheets spanning the conveyor assemblies.
