Benefits of technology

The patent describes an improved automated loader that reduces contact between chickens and bags. It has a conical horn with plates attached to the tube that form a cone. The plates are pushed outward by a spring-loaded hinge. This design helps to protect the chickens during loading and unloading.

Problems solved by technology

Accordingly, there is a tendency for the chicken to tear the bag as the ram pushes it into the bag, which slows production considerably.
Chicken baggers could ameliorate the situation by bagging wet chicken, but consumers would not appreciate it.
