Abstract

The present invention provides a packing system for collecting together multiple articles and delivering them to a receptacle (50) such as a box and relates particularly to such a mechanism which can do so in a gentle manner, thereby reducing damage to said produce. The present invention may be used in the food packing industry where such damage is extremely undesirable but also lends itself to use in the packing of other products. In particular, the present invention provides a packing system (10) comprising a product accumulation station (12) and a filling point (14) having a lowering system (16), wherein said lowering system comprises a hinged lowering plate (16a) pivotally connected at a hinge (18) to said filling point (14) and being connected to an actuator (20) for actuation of said plate (16) between a first product receiving position (A) and a second product delivering position (B).
