a method and apparatus are disclosed for sealing pallets of fresh product inside plastic bags and finishing the interiors of the sealed bags with a modified gaseous atmosphere . conventional pallets loaded with cooled fresh produce are moved by an input conveyor automatically one at a time to an in - line squeeze station . a plastic bag at a convenient height is initially draped over an arm radiating from a novel bagger frame . a plurality of such arms extend from a rotatable hub so that bags can be moved into position above successive loaded pallets as they are needed . this apparatus permits the bagging of nearly twice as many pallets in a given time period .
