Abstract:
Packaging apparatus (10, 11, 12) includes, in combination, a product receiving or loading station(16) requiring individual product buckets(18) oriented at one pitch for loading with products and a cartoning station(40,47,48) requiring groups of buckets(18) oriented at another different pitch for packaging articles into cartons(C). The apparatus(10,11, 12) accommodates the packaging of varying numbers of buckets or product stacks in varied width cartons(C-1,C-2,C-3), independent of the orientation of buckets(18) in the product receiving station(16). Buckets(18) are conveyed in a path(32) through the packaging apparatus under the influence of a linear motor conveyor(30) independently of, and separate from, other buckets(18) in the path(32) and without regard to pitch between other buckets(18) in the path(32). Apparatus and methods are disclosed.
