A conveyor belt system provides a continuous flat support surface for a food item that moves the food item through a food preparation device. The conveyor belt system includes a conveyor belt having a plurality of spaced apart rods and a plurality of slats that are removably attached to the conveyor belt with a rod connection mechanism. The slats also include a lateral connection mechanism for lateral removable attachment to an adjacent slat. The slats are easily assembled and provide enhanced field service and/or replacement capability.

A conveyor belt system provides a continuous flat support surface for a food item that moves the food item through a food preparation device. The conveyor belt system includes a conveyor belt having a plurality of spaced apart rods and a plurality of slats that are removably attached to the conveyor belt with a snap on mechanism. The slats also include a lateral connection mechanism for lateral removable attachment to an adjacent slat. The slats are easily assembled and provide enhanced field service and/or replacement capability.

A conveyor belt includes a conveyor belt slat having a coupling mechanism extending from a bottom of a base of the conveyor belt slat.

Conveyor belt slat with side carrier connection

A conveyor belt system that provides a continuous flat support surface for a food item that grips the food item when compressed against a reactive surface. The conveyor belt system comprises a conveyor belt and a reactive surface, the conveyor belt having a top side and a bottom side, the top side being parallel to the reactive surface and facing the reactive surface. The conveyor belt further comprises a plurality of spaced rods and a plurality of flat metal slats, each slat having a leading edge and a trailing edge relative to a direction of conveyance travel of the conveyor belt, the leading edge of the slat coupled to one of the plurality of rods to provide a hinged joint at the leading edge of the slat.

Extruded slat/link conveyance chain

A conveyor belt includes a conveyor belt slat that is coupled to a side carrier by a locking connection between the slat and the carrier at least along the side edges of the conveyor belt slat.

A conveyor belt includes a plurality of spaced rods and a plurality of slats, the slats including a base portion for carrying an item. The base portion has a perpendicular leading edge relative to a direction of conveyance travel of the conveyor belt and a perpendicular trailing edge relative to the direction of conveyance travel of the conveyor belt. At least one slat is pivotably coupled to another slat and one of the leading edge and the trailing edge of the at least one slat is coupled to one of the plurality of rods.

Conveyor belt slat

The present invention is directed to a conveyor belt link and a sprocket driven conveyor belt comprising the same. In particular, it relates to a conveyor belt link with coupling mechanism that provides a conveyor belt surface that can reduce product marking, minimizes costs, and simplifies manufacturing and assembly of a conveyor belt comprising the same.

A heating system for heating a food product includes a housing including at least one heating cavity, a conveyor belt system which is configured to move the food product from a first end of the heating cavity to a second end thereof, a heating unit disposed generally parallel to a top surface of the conveyor belt system, and an in-feed rack having a first and second portion. The first portion of the in-feed rack may be positioned proximal to the conveyor belt system, and the second portion is positioned distal to the conveyor belt system. Each of the first and second portions of the in-feed rack has a generally planar cross section. A longitudinal length of the first portion of the in-feed rack is offset a substantially vertical distance from a longitudinal length of the second portion of the in-feed rack.

Heating system for heating a food product

A conveyor belt includes a plurality of spaced rods and a plurality of slats. Each of the plurality of slats includes a base portion for carrying an item. The base portion has a perpendicular leading edge of the base portion relative to a direction of conveyance travel of the conveyor belt and a perpendicular trailing edge of the base portion relative to the direction of conveyance travel of the conveyor belt. At least one of the leading edge and the trailing edge is coupled to one of the plurality of rods.

A condiment dispenser dispenses a portion of a condiment held within a reservoir. The condiment dispenser includes a housing that defines the reservoir and a piston assembly that is translatable within the housing between a first position and a second position. A chamber insert is connected to a dispensing end of the housing and the chamber insert includes an insert bottom wall and at least one orifice extending through the insert bottom wall. A sealing ring is engageable with the seat of the piston assembly and a bottom wall includes at least one nozzle and is disposed below the chamber insert to define a void between the bottom wall and the insert bottom wall.
