Container filling systems and methods

Abstract

A system for filling containers with loose items can include a container conveyor configured to move containers to a container filling location, an item conveyor having a downstream end disposed above the container conveyor at the container filling location, one or more sensors configured to detect the items moving on the item conveyor, and one or more processors in communication with the container conveyor and the one or more sensors. The one or more processors can be configured with computer-executable instructions to receive signals from the one or more sensors and to control a speed of the container conveyor based on the signals received from the one or more sensors.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
