Abstract
Disclosed herein is a bottle packer apparatus for encasing bottles in a continuous operation, comprising a downwardly inclined case conveyor on which inverted cases are moved to a loading area, means at each side of the case conveyor contacting sides of the cases and moving them to loading position, and a bottle conveyor having a continually moving belt on which bottles are carried in a plurality of lanes to an area beneath the inverted case in the loading position, the belt continuing to move forwardly while a predetermined number of bottles enter the case in the loading position and other bottles accumulate rearwardly of the said case due to back pressure exerted by the loaded case against said accumulating bottles. The bottle conveyor speed is always equal to or faster than the case conveyor speed in order to provide for a continuous accumulation of bottles to avoid gaps.
