The Rouse Quick Load Funnel (shown here in two views) enables loading a whole case of products at once.
Dear Ingles Markets,
I made this custom-designed and fitted funnel from sheets of corrugated plastic. It is light, durable, and efficient when loading cases of products into gravity dispensers.
Only one or two products come in cases so large that an empty gravity dispenser cannot hold it all. Others fit in empty spaces above the black lines I applied to the dispensers.
The funnel is stored overnight on my mobile workstation. During the work day, it rests on the backsplash of a fixed work table used to process incoming cases of bulk products.
All Bulk Product sections at Ingles Markets could benefit from using similar funnels.
