ABSTRACT:
A conveyor chain transport system for delivering fruits or vegetables to a longitudinal passageway (22) defined by two sets of opposing endless loop conveyor chains (24). A plurality of tensioner assemblies (30), which have two opposing pairs of independently acting chain sprocket assemblies (70 and 100), are provided to independently tension each set of conveyor chains (24) along both an x and a y axis so that each individual food product, regardless of shape and size, is subjected to uniform chain tension. Each pair of opposing chain sprocket assemblies are interconnected to a single cam ring (34 and 52), such that displacement of one chain sprocket by food product results in reciprocal and equal displacement of the other opposing chain sprocket, thus facilitating centering of the food product as it is delivered to cutter blade assembly (200).
