Abstract

A controller for a continuous motion drop bottle type case packer has a real time processing means for accessing a plurality of controller instructions and for determining one of a number of possible courses of action to be taken in response to control signals from a plurality of detectors in the packer. The controller is responsive to changing operational parameters and causes the packer to operate at the maximum of a number of predetermined bottle transfer rates as selected by the real time processing means.
