Abstract
Flexible pouches are advanced continuously around an arcuate path and are filled with food chunks during the advance. A filling apparatus initially deposits the food chunks into metal containers which are circulated to a continuously rotating turret adapted to move the containers around the path in vertical registry with the pouches. As the containers are advanced by the turret, plungers force the food product out of the containers, through funnels and into the pouches. The empty containers then are removed from the turret and are returned to the filling apparatus.
