Abstract
A method and an apparatus for producing a container packing filler are provided, which ensure that a net can be correctly and speedily rolled up into a bulk or ball shape. A stretchable tubular net (N) is fitted around a columnar support member (). Then, a distal portion of the net is forcibly folded radially outward or inward by a plurality of roller belts () disposed circumferentially of the net (N), while the roller belts () are moved toward a net proximal side axially of the net (N), whereby the net (N) is rolled up radially outward or inward with the distal portion thereof being forcibly folded by circular rotation and axial movement of the roller belts () to form an annular roll portion (C).
