A system (10) for dispensing dunnage material includes a chute (30) connectable to a supply (20, 40) of flowable dunnage. A container (12) or a bottom of the chute (30) is moved into a dispensing position where the bottom of the chute (30) is proximate the fill plane of the container (12). A controller (16) selectively opens a shutter (50) at the bottom of the chute (30) to dispense dunnage and then closes the shutter (50) to separate the dispensed dunnage from the dunnage in the chute (30) while also removing the dunnage above the fill plane of the container (12). The chute (30) includes at least one substantially horizontal plate member (54) that is openable to selectively vary the size of an aperture (52) created thereby at the bottom of the chute (30) for dispensing dunnage material therethrough.

Système (10) de distribution de matériau de rembourrage comprenant une goulotte (30) pouvant se raccorder à une alimentation (20, 40) de matériau de rembourrage fluide. On amène un récipient (12) ou le bas de la goulotte (30) en position de distribution, le bas de la goulotte (30) se trouvant à proximité du plan de remplissage du récipient (12). Une unité de commande (16) ouvre et ferme sélectivement un volet (50), et élimine en outre le matériau de rembourrage dépassant du plan de remplissage du récipient (12). La goulotte (30) comprend au moins un élément de plaque sensiblement horizontal (54) dont l'ouverture permet de faire varier sélectivement la taille de l'ouverture (52) que ledit élément ménage au bas de la goulotte (30) pour la distribution du matériau de rembourrage.
