Claim 6:
7. A packer station as in claim 2, wherein the packing rod actuator and weigh station actuator are coordinated such that the packing rod actuator is adapted to place the packing rod in a position that plugs the exit hole when the weigh station actuator transitions the at least one outlet door from a closed position to an open position;
wherein after a desired amount of product is accumulated in the weigh station, the weigh station actuator opens the at least one outlet door such that the desired amount of product is transferred to the packer head; and
wherein after the weigh station actuator opens the at least one outlet door, the packing rod actuator withdraws the packing rod from the exit hole such that a portion of the product may be allowed to pass through the exit hole and the packing rod actuator actuates to insert the packing rod into the exit hole to plug the exit hole and a first burst of pressurized gas is expelled from the distal end of the packing rod.
