Apparatus for filling bulk material containers

Apparatus for charging containers of varying configuration to maximum volumetric capacity with bulk materials comprising inlet conduit means for feeding said materials to the top of a container, rotary distributor means positioned in said conduit means, near the discharge end thereof, radially-compartmented rotor means connected to said conduit means and spaced from the discharge end thereof whereby material is received by said compartmented rotor means from said inlet means and discharged from said compartmented rotor means, a plurality of material deflecting stator means fixedly and vertically positioned around the periphery of said compartmented rotor means and each of said material deflecting stator means adapted to be oriented about its axis to be more fully opened or closed relative to said compartmented rotor means to provide the necessary deflection of material discharged from said rotor means, thereby distributing material throughout said container with the result that easier and more complete filling of containers particularly those of asymmetrical shape and volume is effected.
