Abstract

An apparatus for transferring articles (A) initially conveyed in an infeed stream (5) into cartons (C) conveyed in an outfeed stream (11), which apparatus (2) comprises first conveyor (4), a second conveyor (6) and a third conveyor (8), a first transfer means (9) and a second transfer means (14), the first conveyor (4) being operable to convey the infeed stream (5) comprising articles (A) disposed in a first arrangement, the first transfer means (9) being operable to engage and transfer selected articles from the infeed stream (5) onto the second conveyor (6) to form a second stream (13) comprising articles (A) disposed in a second arrangement, the second transfer means (14) being operable to transfer articles (A) disposed in said second arrangement into one or more of said cartons (C) conveyed by said third conveyor (8) at a second transfer rate, said second transfer rate being faster than a first transfer rate at which the second transfer means would otherwise be operable to transfer articles disposed in said first arrangement directly into said one or more of said cartons (C).
