Product filling assembly

A product filling assembly comprising:

• a rotary member comprising:
• at least two discs mounted on a first shaft for rotating the discs so that the first shaft extends through a central portion of each disc and so that the discs are spaced apart on the shaft;
• a plurality of additional shafts which extend between and are mounted to the discs and a roller positioned on each additional shaft so that the rollers are freely rotatable on the additional shafts, wherein the additional shafts and the rollers are positioned and configured so that a circumferential portion of each roller extends beyond a circumference of the discs;
• drive means for rotating the discs and for revolving the additional shafts and rollers;
• a wall member positioned adjacent the rotary member having an interior wall surface which extends from a peripheral flanged wall edge and which is positioned and configured so that a channel is provided between the interior wall surface and the rotary member at a position between the discs for passage of the rollers and so that the flanged wall edge extends, with respect to a circumference of the rotary member, as an arc for a distance at least as great as a distance between two of the additional shafts which are positioned adjacent one to the other;
• an elastic membrane which extends from the flanged wall edge across the channel to separate the rotary member from the channel;
• two plates positioned to extend from the first shaft parallel one to the other and parallel to the discs and so that the two discs are positioned between the plates;
• and
• wherein the discs, additional shafts, rollers, wall member and plates are configured and positioned so that the plates and wall member flanged edge secure the membrane, so that the rollers are positioned adjacent the membrane and so that upon rotation of the discs and revolution of the rollers, an adjacent pair of rollers stretch the membrane into contact with the interior wall to cause occlusions to form in the channel successively.
