Abstract

A multicomponent filling apparatus for filling a first kind and a second kind of lumped products such as salad leaves into a container comprises a collecting container having a first portion receiving the first salad type and a second portion separated from the first portion by a partition wall for receiving the second salad type. A portion comprises at least one hinged base which forms the bottom and may swing downwards into an open position, a partition wall disposed above the hinged base for forming a first hinged base portion for the first product type and a second hinged base portion for the second product type. A pressing device comprises a first pressing portion cooperating with the first hinged base portion and a second pressing portion cooperating with the second hinged base portion, whereby the two pressing portions can be reciprocated relative to the hinged base portion in a first upward direction away from the hinged base portion for supplying product and in a second direction towards the hinged based portion for compressing the product. This apparatus provides for filling two salad types separately into a container and compressing the same to a predetermined volume.
