    摘要: A pouch filling apparatus for filling pouches with product as the pouches travel around a filler wheel includes a hopper wheel carrying a plurality of hoppers over a sector of the filler wheel empty of pouches. The filler wheel carries a plurality of product dispensing units having an upper accumulation chamber. The hopper wheel and the filler wheel counter-rotate in timed relation so that individual product dispensing units and hoppers cross paths at a product transfer station to allow product to be dropped from a hopper into the accumulation chamber of a product dispensing unit. The filler wheel then rotates to a filling station and the product is released from the accumulation chamber into a pouch travelling along the pouch conveyor. In one embodiment, the product dispensing unit includes a lower expandable cone assembly which is lowered into the pouch at the filling station and expanded before the product is released from the accumulation chamber to form the pouch mouth into a substantially circular configuration. Alternative pouch expanders and product accumulation apparatus are described, as well as methods.

    摘要: An end flap sealer for a cartoning machine for performing the step of closing and sealing at least one of the end flaps of each carton travelling along the conveyor of the cartoning machine. The cartoning machine includes a movable closer plow mounted adjacent the conveyor and having a top edge that slopes downwardly toward the approaching cartons on the conveyor of the cartoning machine. The closer plow is attached to a sliding member that is reciprocated to extend the closer plow above the conveyor of the cartoning machine as the carton moves adjacent the closer plow to fold the outermost end flap into a closed position against the other end flaps of the carton. The sliding rod is preferably angled toward the approaching cartons on the conveyor, such that the plow has components of motion both toward and away from entering cartons. The plow can be extended earlier and retracted sooner, providing increased compression duration and increasing cartoning speeds.

    摘要: In a cartoning machine, apparatus for erecting a carton. The apparatus includes a channel-shaped element having spaced parallel walls and suction cups between the walls of the channel-shaped element. The channel-shaped element engages a carton in a magazine. The suction cups draw the carton into the area between the walls of the channel-shaped element and in so doing cause the carton to open.

    摘要: An apparatus transforms a single file of articles on a conveyor into separated batches of articles on the conveyor. The batches of articles are discharged into receptacles such as product buckets. The separation of the articles into batches provides sufficient time between the batch discharges to index successive receptacles into position at the discharge end of the single file conveyor.

    摘要: Apparatus for shifting particulate material from one end of a pouch toward the other. In pouch form, fill, seal apparatus, a web of pouches is filled, the material tending to lodge in the bottom portion of each pouch. A pair of twisted belts pass the web on an upper and lower run wherein the bottom of the pouch is elevated as it passes over the belts to cause a product within the pouches to redistribute itself uniformly throughout the pouch.

    摘要: Apparatus for feeding flat folded cartons from a stationary magazine to a continuously moving conveyor. The magazine has a choke at its discharge end formed from parallel guides which are spaced apart a distance less than the distance between the two folded edges of the cartons. A rotary carrier is located adjacent the magazine and the conveyor. A plurality of planetary members with attached suction cups are rotatably mounted on the carrier. A fixed cam cooperates with cam followers mounted on the planetary members to cause the planetary members to rotate on their own axes as the carrier rotates to pick up cartons from the magazine, open them and deposit them gently between transport lugs on the conveyor.

    摘要: A quick-disconnect lug for transporting cartons along the conveyor of a cartoning machine. The lug includes a base member for attachment to studs extending from the endless chain of the conveyor. The base member preferably has a pair of slots or recesses extending upwardly from its bottom edge for receiving the studs. A latch member is pivotally attached to the base member and includes a hooked end that acts to firmly engage one of the studs in a slot to lock the lug onto the conveyor chain. A spring member on the latch arm keeps the hooked end in a normally closed position to retain the hooked stud in a locked position. The pivot point of the latch member is positioned between the lever end and the hooked end of the spring member. The lever end may be moved downwardly to pivot the hooked end of the spring member out of the recess to allow a stud to be engaged or disengaged from the recess during machine set-up or changeover. Lugs are reset quickly and without tools. The quick disconnect apparatus can be used to secure various devices onto chains with extending studs.

    摘要: A magazine for conveying cartons to a metering wheel. The magazine has a stack conveyor holding the bulk of the cartons in the magazine and a feed conveyor downstream from the stack conveyor. The two conveyors are separated by an upper inclined stop and lower ramp that keeps the cartons on the stack conveyor from applying pressure to the cartons on the feed conveyor.
