Abstract
A food product finisher includes a finisher housing and screen supported by the housing. A rotor driven within the screen has an inlet section with inlet vanes of reduced diameter in a steep helical configuration. The inlet vanes are joined continuously into body vanes of full height and less steep helical configuration on the body of the rotor. Steps or transition sections may be provided in the vanes. The vane configuration provides uniform loading of the vanes, high efficiency and reduced power consumption.
