Description
The hand pack filler is featured in the Anderson-Barngrover Mfg. Co. General Catalog Y-100 ("Dependable Canning Machinery"), for "filling tomatoes, sauer kraut, string beans, peas, beets, fruit, berries, pickles, fish flakes, macaroni, cocoanut, etc." It is adjustable for various sizes of cans, and will "fill any product which can be handled by hand except products which must be placed in cans in exact or precise position." Per description: "Cans are fed continuously and automatically placed in accurate register with the filling openings. The entire can-carrying table revolves, as well as the center bowl carrying the product to be filled. This prevents damage to the product by pulling same across from a stationary to a moving surface. The cans and filling openings are placed very closely together and locked into position to give large capacity with small floor space. Entire top is of monel metal, including all parts coming in contact with products. Bowl and filling ring all one piece, quickly interchangeable for various sizes of cans."
