Abstract
A method and apparatus for automatically loading side seal bags, at least two at a time, which comprises delivering the bags to a first position below a rod conveyor which has a gap therein through which the bags are pulled and loaded in a second position. The bags are then conveyed away on the rod conveyor. Speed of loading is increased because succeeding bags are moved to the first position while the previous bags are loaded at the second position. The movement from the first to second position is short and relatively quick.
