  • Patent number: 5331792
    Abstract: A packaging assembly for packaging a pre-measured quantity of products particularly irregular-shaped products such as potatoes into a bag or other container. The assembly includes a plurality of transfer conveyors mounted upon a turntable for transferring the pre-measured quantity of product to the bag. The conveyor allows the product to be slowly conveyed to the bag to avoid clogging of the product between the weighing station and the bag. Additionally, clogging is reduced by the sidewalls surrounding the conveyor being generally pyramid-shaped, facilitating the transfer of the product to the bag.
