Abstract
A method of loading product into a soft bag held within a rigid case comprises loading the case onto a vertically movable case support in a direct path beneath a chute to which the product is fed. The bag is opened while it is held between the chute and the case with the case spaced below the bag. The case is then raised to meet the bag from below after the bag is opened and the open bag is then pushed into the case. From there, the bag is loaded with the product which is dropped from the chute into the bag.
