An intermittent motion horizontal packaging machine in which pouches made one at a time by a pouch making section operating at a high index cycle rate are filled two at a time while being advanced in a single row by a pouch filling section operating at one-half the index cycle rate of the pouch making section.

The top of a flexible pouch is sealed when two heated bars are pressed into engagement with opposite sides of the pouch. One of the bars is formed with two angled surfaces which converge into intersecting relation with one another so as to drive moisture from the seal area and enable the formation of a substantially blemish-free seal.

Product is delivered into a funnel which then is moved downwardly to deposit the product into a pouch. The funnel includes a movable plate which initially is disposed in a closed position to enable the funnel to receive and retain the product. As the funnel travels downwardly, the plate moves to an open position to enable the product to be delivered out of the funnel and into the pouch. When the plate moves to its open position, the interior of the funnel takes on the same shape as a plunger which moves downwardly through the funnel to force the product out of the funnel.
