Abstract
A transfer type of product filling machine includes a stationary deadplate positioned under a moving line of openbottom transfer receptacles. Containers moving in a separate line under the deadplate in synchronism with the line of transfer receptacles are progressively filled as the transfer receptacles pass over either a continuously tapered or a stepped termination of the deadplate to prevent bridging of loose materials or individual items across the container openings by abrupt dumping of the materials into the containers. The stepped type of deadplate termination also facilitates exact count filling of a single container from a plurality of intermediate receptacles, each holding an integral fraction of the total count fill, and speeds the filling operation by providing a plurality of filling locations.
