ABSTRACT:
A processing apparatus having a chamber having upstream and downstream ends for processing a plurality of products in batches, each batch of product being supported on a carrier having sides, a bottom and a top. The carriers being capable of being transitted through the chamber one after the other, side supports on opposite sides of the chamber spaced apart a distance sufficient to receive the carriers upon which. the carriers are supported, while standing in and being moved through the chamber and the side supports being set at an incline from a low point adjacent the upstream end to a high point adjacent the downstream end, and a power device for causing movement of the carriers from the upstream end to the downstream end, stops engageable by the carriers, for preventing reverse movement of the carriers down the incline towards the upstream end, doors separating the chamber into zones, and power operated devices for moving the doors, and a controller for sensing the positions of some of the carriers, and opening and closing the doors when required.
