Abstract

Apparatus and method for filling spaced apart cavities (18) with particulate material (24) include a transport (26, 28) for moving the cavities (18) along a path of travel. The cavities (18) are partially filled with particulate material (24) at an upstream location while applying vacuum underneath each cavity (1) during such partial filling. The partially filled cavities (18) are then completely filled with a downstream deposit of particulate material (24) while applying vacuum to the upper sides of each cavity (18) during such filling. The combination of vacuum applied underneath the cavity during partial fill and vacuum applied to the top sides of the cavity (18) during complete fill produces approximately 100 % cavity fill with minimal extraneous scatter of particulate material (24).
