METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FILLING AND PACKAGING A FLOWABLE PRODUCT ABSTRACT An apparatus and a method are provided for the filling and packaging of a flowable product, such as soft ice cream or the like, into sealable packaging and dispensing containers. The apparatus incorporates a conveyor having a generally horizontal upper run which includes container receiving and supporting apertures at a first station. At a second station along the conveyor path, the containers are each filled with a predetermined amount of a flowable product which is dispensed into each of the containers during relative vertical separating movement of a filler nozzle with respect to each container. Thereafter, each of the product-filled containers is conducted to a third station along the conveyor path wherein a closure fitment is positioned within the opening of the filled conical container. At a fourth station along the conveyor path, a crimping device mechanically crimps the upper edge of the container about an upturned annular flange of the closure fitment to thereby form a mechanical connec- tion between the closure fitment and the conical container. The flange of the closure fitment is sealed to the container to form a liquid-tight sealed packaging container structure. 30023-A
