# Multi-stage ram assembly for product delivery

## Abstract

Provided herein is an assembly including a first ram that can move along a surface in a trough toward an outlet of the trough to move product toward the outlet; a second ram that can be engaged by the first ram as the first ram moves along the surface in the trough, the second ram can be moved toward the outlet of the trough by the first ram; and an actuator that can move the first ram along the surface toward the outlet of the trough. In some embodiments, the first ram may be located between the surface in the trough and the second ram. Optionally, the actuator can engage with and move the first ram.
