Abstract

An endless conveyor particularly suited for use in food processing includes a plurality of conveyor flights flexibly connected at their sides by endless chains. Each flight has a longitudinally curved supporting portion upon which a supported product may be blanched, dried, or otherwise treated. The conveyor is supported at its ends by sprockets cooperable with the chains. The radius of curvature of the supporting portion approximates the pitch of the sprockets such that the conveyor flights, as they travel radially about the axis of rotation of the sprockets, form a continuous cylinder-like surface.
