Abstract

An inline product feeder (100) for a packaging line (106) and related methods are disclosed. In one example, an inline product feeder (100) includes a product input line (102) configured to receive a contiguous supply of products and configured to guide the products in continuous motion along a path of travel. The inline product feeder (100) also includes a packaging line (106) configured to receive separated groups of the products from the product input line (102). The inline feeder (100) further includes a feeder unit (104) configured to separate groups of products from the contiguous supply of products in the product input line (102) and move the group of products into the packaging line (106), each of the separated groups of products including a predetermined number of products from the product input line (102).
