Zusammenfassung:	A packaging machine (10) adapted to meter and load various size groups of articles (C) into receptacles (S) to form a package. Star wheels (22, 24) are used to meter the articles into groups, each star wheel functioning as a single unit in conjunction with an infeed conveyor (14) and a conveyor (16) that feeds the metered groups downstream to a packaging station. Star wheels (22, 24) carrying different numbers of lugs (33, 34) are interchangeable in order to create different size packages on the same machine. The lugs (26, 64, 12, 66) which move the groups of articles and the article receptacles may be relocated as necessary to accomodate different size packages.
