ABSTRACT:
A conveying apparatus is disclosed for conveying a food product having a wide variety of sizes and propelling the food product through a stationary knife assembly to cut the food product into discrete pieces. During the conveying of the food product, and elongated food product will be oriented such that its longer dimension is generally parallel to the conveyers before it encounters the cutting apparatus. The conveying apparatus utilizes a pair of endless belt conveyers oriented such that a run of one conveyer is located adjacent to a run of the other conveyer in order to grip a food product between the facing runs of the endless belt conveyers. A drive mechanism drives both of the endless belt conveyers at substantially the same speed so as to propel the food product through the stationary knife assembly. The conveying apparatus automatically adjusts to accommodate a wide variety of food product sizes by way of a spring-biased system acting on one or both of the facing conveyer runs.
