A multi-lane extended product transfer filling machine for filling multiple lanes of containers simultaneously. The machine fills pockets with a sized portion at a product sizing station. The pockets are mounted to a chain which transfers the filled pockets from the product sizing station to a remote container filling station. Multiple tampers eject the food product from multiple filled pockets into multiple lanes of containers simultaneously. A programmable operating control unit controls the operation of the machine.
