Apparatus for filling containers with articles. A feed conveyor of slats having article receiving apertures is supplied with articles from a chute or a vibratory hopper. A tray below the slats prevents articles falling through until a discharge point is reached where the tray terminates allowing articles to fall, into a transverse line of hoppers below the conveyor. A gate prevents the articles from leaving the hoppers until a line of empty cans on a second transverse conveyor are in position therebelow. A stop across the end of the hopper prevents excess articles entering the feed conveyor. A rotary brush or roller clears any surplus articles from the feed conveyor. -1-
