Abstract

A conveyor may include: a first conveyor roller device; a second conveyor roller device disposed downstream of the first conveyor roller device; and a stopper disposed downstream of the first conveyor roller device and upstream of the second conveyor roller device and configured to prohibit a movement of the objects in the conveyance direction. The first conveyor roller device may be configured to increase the interval between the objects in the conveyance direction to be wider than the interval between the objects in the conveyance direction when the objects exit from the heat treatment furnace so that the objects are separated into object groups each including the predetermined number of objects or less. The stopper may be configured to be disposed between the object groups separated by the first conveyor roller device and adjacent to each other in the conveyance direction.
