Abstract

A solid material packing method and apparatus are disclosed wherein the plastic film bags are transported from a storage location to a packing location by a pivotable taking member having adhesive surfaces at its free end. The taking member includes an elongate adhesive tape which can be advanced between the transporting of successive bags to renew the adhesive surfaces. A solid material supplying device comprises a pair of conduit-shaped members which are movable toward and away from one another, the conduit-shaped members moving away from one another as they move toward the bag at said packing location to thereby hold open the bag for insertion of a solid material.
