Abstract
An embodiment includes a carousel machine designed to slowly deliver a premeasured weighment of product to a receptacle (e.g., bag, box, sack, container, bin). The receptacle, such as a bag or a box, may be manually hung on pneumatic clamps as the carousel rotates. This may help eliminate the jamming of product that normally occurs on existing carousel baggers. Other embodiments are described herein.
