Abstract
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.
