ABSTRACT:
A conveyor system used in fruit or crop harvesters to facilitate separation of the fruit or crop vine from the fruit or crop including a plurality of laterally spaced conveyor belts having an inner surface contoured with merlons and crenels to be engaged by a drive shaft having complimentally formed teeth and gaps to drive by meshing engagement with the merlons and crenels. The conveyor belt is formed as a closed loop including a plurality of idler rollers and a tensioning roller which with the drive shaft forms a closed loop. The interrelationship of the belt and the drive shaft preclude vine or organic matter build-up to minimize belt slippage and synchronous movement of all the belts.
