Abstract
A liquid filled bag loading device stabilizes the bag in a loading position and then releases the bag gently into a open top tray type box which can be easily closed. The loading device provides a powered roller at the entrance to a loading position to assist the bag in entering the loading position. In the loading position the bag floats on an air cushion over a set of trap doors as the bag is stabilized between side and back walls. A gentle tamper device is used to assist in accelerating the bag's stabilization prior to the trap doors opening to drop the bag vertically through a chute into a waiting box.
