Abstract: Volumetric container filling apparatus comprises a revolving carousel including a product bowl provided with a plurality of openings, volume-defining tubular sections provided with sliding gates and pedestals for supporting containers to be filled. A tubular extension extends below each sliding gate. A vibrating cam imparts a vibration in a vertical direction to the pedestals and any container disposed on a pedestal. A container chuck engages an upper edge of a container on a pedestal. The container chuck and tubular extension together define an enclosed collection area for temporarily retaining product while the contents of the container is settled by the vertical vibration. The carousel further includes a vibrating outer cup in each opening of the product bowl to reduce bridging which tends to occur with low density product. Each outer cup is connected by means of vertically-extending rods to a corresponding container chuck.
