Abstract: A container filler assembly, as for berries, having a filler hopper located above a central filler conveyor driven at a slower speed than an upstream denesting and infeed conveyor which feeds empty containers to the filler conveyor, and an exit conveyor downstream of the filler conveyor driven at a greater speed than the filler conveyor, such that spaced containers on the denesting conveyor are put into abutment as they approach the filler hopper outlet, and subsequently placed again in a spaced condition after filling for dropping any berries caught on the container rims and for being closed as by placement of a wrapper on the filled container or closure of the clamshell container. The conveyors have overlapping driven V-belts with high friction surfaces.The denesting conveyor is preferably directly driven by a motor, while the filler conveyor and the exit conveyor are driven through a controlled clutch from the same motor.
