An apparatus and method for processing products by chilling or freezing includes a conveyor for conveying the products along a plane of travel; lifting means disposed for intermittent contact with the conveyor during processing; cam means rotatable for contacting and displacing the lifting means to contact and displace the conveyor from the plane of travel, thereby displacing the products on the conveyor to prevent the products from adhering to the conveyor and other of the products; and drive means operatively associated with the cam means to impart rotational movement to the cam means for intermittently contacting and displacing the lifting means.

Conveyor belt having rotating drive shaft

A device for making pellets of a material that can be made to solidify by changing its temperature having an endless belt ( ) on which the material is placed at a feeding location and is conveyed along a processing path ( ) to a guide roller ( ) at a discharging location, and a member ( ) for changing the temperature of the material on the belt ( ) along the processing path ( ). The endless belt ( ) having a plurality of lamellae ( ) transverse to the longitudinal direction of the belt, which are articulately juxtaposed and have at least one duct ( ) which extends in the longitudinal direction of the belt without interruption between adjacent lamella and has, between the longitudinal edges of each lamella a ridge ( ) transverse to the longitudinal direction of the belt of a height smaller than the depth of the duct ( ).
