Benefits of technology

The patent describes a better way of opening a bag for an automated loader. The device has horns that can move from a position where they completely overlap to a position where they barely overlap. This makes it easier to open the bag without getting the fuzz flying around.

Problems solved by technology

However, there is a fairly high coefficient of friction between the skin of a dry, dressed chicken (or other poultry) and a bag made of polyethylene or similar plastic, Accordingly, there is a tendency for the chicken to either get stuck in the bag 20a or to tear the bag 20a as the ram 50 pushes it into the bag 20a, which slows production considerably.
Chicken baggers could ameliorate the situation by bagging wet chicken, but consumers would not appreciate it.
