Abstract
The system () includes a product engager (), a transporter () and a patterned depositor () for engaging products () and transporting the products () from the product engager () to the patterned depositor (), such as between a product bagging machine () that forms and fills a bag (), a conveyor that transports the bags as the products () and delivers them to a case packing machine as the patterned depositor (). The product engager () and the patterned depositor () include first and second drivers () and the transporter () includes an adjustable-length buffer () to compensate for any temporary difference between a first product delivery rate of the product engager () and a rate of movement of the products () passing from the product engager () along the transporter () to the patterned depositor ().
