Abstract
A conveyor with cleats having a curved product-carrying surface on one side and a curved product-releasing surface on the opposite side. The cleats are pivotally linked to form an endless loop. A sprocket assembly and motor are provided to rotate the endless loop. The cleats extend outwardly from the loop and are spaced such that product items may be disposed between adjacent cleats. The loop has a transfer bend where product items shift by gravity from one cleat to an adjacent cleat. At the point where product items exit from the conveyor, the curved product-releasing surface gently deposits the product items onto an output surface.
